Achtung Baby! links

In what I can only describe as beyond bizarre, we wound up getting linked yesterday in Der Spiegel Online, the Web site of Germany's largest weekly magazine, and on a German internet TV site (click on Schubkarren-Sports on both links). So what did they link us for? Our plan to stop global warming? Our solutions for stabilizing Iraq? Of course not. They linked us for our post on extreme wheelbarrowing. Glad to see Germany has its priorities straight. Meanwhile, we've begun to corrupt minds worldwide. All part of the master plan. On to the links.
