Drowning in the snow...
Around X-mas usually dozens of Micronaut calendars have to be shipped daily to places in Portugal, Italy, Canada, Taiwan, Australia, or the USA. Whilst the vast majority travels fast and save, one piece got lost just around the corner (Germany). The german post has finally returned it with 3 months delay. However, the address turns out to be perfectly right (initially the official reason for the delivery failure) and the german post continued to explain, that they were unable to deliver the envelope due to heavy snow in December 2010. Right, but to return the package was no problem... must be kind of logic, but I don't get it.
Needless to say the customer will get his piece for free - at least if it does not fall victim to the upcoming summer heat... I keep you posted ;-)

'Images of Research' - 'Bilder der Forschung'...
...yes, it's the same guy, posing in front of another winning image (3rd place, category 'Fascination of Research' 2009). The image depicts two florets from a small composite plant (a daisy flower, to be precise) and thereby demonstrates intraspecific diversity as a powerful result of evolution acting over millions of years.
Micronaut has devoted this work to the english Naturalist Sir Charles Darwin, which was born 1809 and published the groundbraking theory about evolution through natural selection at the age of 50.
