[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Still one of the funniest things I've learned recently that I still cannot get over is the fact that a Czechoslovak alternative of the cocktail Cuba Libre made of Kofola and domestic rum since western products like Coke and Bacardi were unavailable was called Fidel

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina

She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize

She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China

Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle

From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues

Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle

Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe

Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia

Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth

She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima

Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,

Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation

She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery

Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations

Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Daisies (1966)

"When the Czech director Věra Chytilová made Daisies, her second feature, Czechoslovakia had endured nearly two decades of repressive Communist rule, and she was one of the leading voices in a new generation of filmmakers who expressed resistance through gestures of allegorical insubordination that were semantically slippery enough to possibly get by the censors. Similarly, the Maries operate like guerrilla insurgents across Prague, disguising their true intentions and refusing to dutifully submit their bodies for either labor or male gratification."

Eurasian Lynx slowly returning to Germany

The Eurasian Lynx is a medium-sized cat once native to large parts of the Eurasian land mass north of the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Himalaya, up to the Polar Circle.

Being an apex predator, thus also preying on livestock, the lynx was brought to extinction in Germany around 1850. In the 1950s the first animals were seen again in the Bavarian Forest, probably coming from Czechoslovakia. Since then, their habitats have slowly expanded from the east. Resettlement programs in the Harz mountains since 2000 were so successful that the population has spread out of the intended region into the forested areas of southern Lower Saxony and northern Hesse.

Observations of single individuals have been made throughout most of Germany. However, they are not proof of an established population since Lynx are known to establish a new territory only adjacent to existing ones.

The return of the lynx has not been met with as much resistance as the return of the wolf, as it is known to prey on livestock only occasionally, and its appearance with the "paintbrush ears", the "beard", and the big, soft paws makes it a much more appealing figure than the wolf.
