[My first edit on the English Wikipedia was to our article on the Star Alliance at 10:28hrs GMT, 27 May 2006 while in one of their airline lounges. Before that I'd (anonymously) corrected a few spelling mistakes and such like. I also edit other Wiki's.] _{contribcounter}

The 'Political Compass'[1] certified me as: Economic Left/Right: -3.75,
                                                                 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03
which, I understand, placed me just to the economic right of Nelson Mandela and as considerably more authoritarian than the Dalai Lama in 2007...[2]

States I NEVER visited in the United States:- Alaska;
Provinces and Territories I NEVER visited in Canada:- Nunuvut;
Nations I NEVER visited in Europe: Cyprus, Iceland, Malta;
I have also been fortunate enough to visit all ASEAN members, Africa and many of the Pacific Island nations; guess I'll never get to visit South America or Antarctica now...

Thank you, and Goodnight!

Picture of the day

Kurt Vonnegut (November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) was an American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. In a career spanning over 50 years, he published fourteen novels and three short story collections; further works were published after his death. Born and raised in Indianapolis, Vonnegut enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943. Deployed to Europe to fight in World War II, he was captured by the Germans and interned in Dresden, where he survived the Allied bombing of the city in a slaughterhouse. Vonnegut published his first novel, Player Piano, in 1952. Two of his novels, The Sirens of Titan (1959) and Cat's Cradle (1963), were nominated for the Hugo Award. Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), a best-seller that resonated with its readers for its anti-war sentiment amidst the ongoing Vietnam War, thrust Vonnegut into fame as an important contemporary writer and a dark humor commentator on American society. Numerous scholarly works have examined Vonnegut's writing and humor. This photograph by Bernard Gotfryd shows Vonnegut in 1965.Photograph credit: Bernard Gotfryd; restored by Adam Cuerden
