Weblog entries for 20 December 2004

The year in verse
2004 in rhyme, from The Economist.

Last survivor of the ‘Christmas truce’
“‘I remember the silence, the eerie sound of silence,’ he said. ‘Only the guards were on duty. We all went outside the farm buildings and just stood listening … We shouted “Merry Christmas”, even though nobody felt merry. The silence ended early in the afternoon and the killing started again. It was a short peace in a terrible war.’”

Scared of Santa
Some kids really don't like having their photo taken with Saint Nick.
