Five German News Stories

 1.  Last night in Berlin?  A fair number of protests by pro-Palestinian folks.  Several cars lit on fire, and police injured from thrown objects.

2.  WELT points out this AM....a fair number of German news publications bought into the Gaza hospital being hit by a Israeli rocket.  As WELT says....the story was mostly false, and handed out by the Hamas folks, with no real verification by the news sources.

3.  Monument statue discovered in Turkey at a site....of a guy's penis....2.3 meters tall (7.5 ft).  Symbiology is unknown.  

4.  German authorities have gone to releasing poisonous Adder snakes into upper Franconia....to restore 'balance' to nature.  Signs have had to go up....warning hikers of the new situation.  

5.  There's a fair amount of chatter over the possibility that the EU will cease access to Twitter.  Interesting on the timing of this....coming with the EU election in the spring of 2024, and the possibility that a criticism may start up over this EU tactic to control chatter.
