On Friday the first Frederiksberg night run took place and Rahul and myself participated in the 5km distance. The race track was really nice, leading the runners through the Copenhagen zoo - the first time for me to see it from the inside, although I hadn't much time to look around. But now I think, I will come back there and see it during daylight. Unfortunately the weather was bad and it was raining the whole time, but it was still a fun event. Also my legs slowly stop hurting now ...
The plot shows the distribution of the Men's 5 km results. The red line indicates my time of 30m28s, 10 seconds less than the mean time of the 478 runners.

Update:

Looking at the age vs time scatter plot including the fitted Lowess nonlinear regression line (some outliers removed), my result (red dot) in my age group doesn't look that good anymore.. but still I am happy with it

While cleaning my email inbox today, I thought it might be funny to look at some spam mails.. It was funny indeed. And some of those spam mails are strange enough to really be considered as art
Here are ten of the funniest subject lines:

• Woman with artificial butt
• We offer the best alarm-clocks for your small buddy down there
• Your bedroom doesn't smell like love anymore? Change it.
• Powder for custard launcher
• We have drugs to cure any illness you suffer from
• Look like a million dollars
• Deutsche Filme können auch begeistern!
• She won't need a magnifying glass from now to find your tool.
• Women will be funk when they see your trunk.
• Crazy Korean eats dogs alive!

Keine Ahnung wie repräsentativ das ist, aber lustig ist der Wahl(versprechen)-o-mat allemal..
Aber warum überrascht mich das Ergebnis nicht?

Geht man nichtsahnend zu später Stunde ins Schlachthaus nebenan und siehe da.. hier ist also das Rhino gelandet, das letztes Jahr im Zoo gestorben ist.. hat nen bissel Gewicht verloren

Oh wait.. something is inside..

These days the Holi festival is taking place in India and obviously it's really funny... So the Indian guys here couldn't resist to paint our faces with some red colors imported from India. Looks very bloody.. Funny thing: Walking defaced like that alone on the street, people here in CPH will gracefully ignore you -- probably like in the rest of Europe.

What could three PhD students do during night time when they are bored? Right, visit the local collection of formalin-conserved animals. I really think, one of the creatures moved while we didn't look at it..

... needs to be celebrated, of course!

Schon wieder ein Jahr rum. Damn. Trotzdem wünsche ich euch ein schönes Weihnachten und viel Glück Freude beim Geschenke auspacken.
