9/29/06
OK, Happy People isn't working (at least for me) and I don't know about you guys. The last day of a stressful week with the Homecoming Parade and Homecoming football game. Also, tomorrow, I'm going to Cincinnati to watch the Bearcats of Cincinnati take on the Miami Hawkeyes in the Battle for the Victory Bell. I'm really excited. It will be the first college football game that I actually want to go to.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that Miko³aj Tr¹ba, first primate of Poland, took part in the Battle of Grunwald and might have been a papal candidate during the Council of Constance?

PICTURE OF THE DAY

Jews captured by SS and SD troops during the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are forced to leave their shelter and march to the Umschlagplatz for deportation. The SD trooper pictured second from the right, is Josef Blösche, who was identified by Polish authorities using this photograph. Blösche was tried for war crimes by a Polish court in 1969, sentenced to death and executed in July of that year.
