In German, Spiegel-Ei can be a word game; it literally means "mirror egg" and we use it for eggs "sunny side up", but it can also be read "Spiegelei" and then would mean something like "mirrorish".Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-23461249331557356472010-09-25T08:23:41.209+01:002010-09-25T08:23:41.209+01:00what is that silver globe on top of the building?what is that silver globe on top of the building?Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-45822936229438300492010-09-25T02:12:11.071+01:002010-09-25T02:12:11.071+01:00Wow! ice in a box, I like it.Wow! ice in a box, I like it.Jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165901556595808031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-79886581047341524292010-09-24T11:10:24.667+01:002010-09-24T11:10:24.667+01:00I agree with Heather T.

Unfortunately, that means year-round air conditioning, rather than displacing the heat to warm the offices in the winter.

How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop." ~ Vita Sackville-WestScriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-32372974503396468412010-09-24T07:13:20.476+01:002010-09-24T07:13:20.476+01:00Ice in a box, that really is an "out of the b...Ice in a box, that really is an "out of the box" idea!
