Watch

It’s a pity that Glenn Beck fanboys and fangirls don’t watch The Daily Show or at least follow me, so this video is posted here just for entertainment purposes. In this 15-minute long segment from last night’s show, which was a parody of Glenn Beck’s Fox News show, Jon Stewart impersonates and mocks the conservative showman who puts America to sleep (with the negative...

Why weren't Greeks allowed to visit the U.S....

This is the question that brought a friend from Canada on this humble tumblr page, and it’s interesting enough to make me want to learn about it and answer it. As I wrote, some time last week,* the big news of Greek PM Papandreou’s visit to the U.S. was the announcement that Greece became a member of the US Visa Waiver program.

Is there a name for the fear of escalators?

Escalophobia. I don’t buy that just because I saw it on urban dictionary, I’m sure though that such a fear exists. I’ve experienced it myself during my first encounters with those “creepy moving stairs” during visits to old and dirty Balkan-style malls in Athens during and early and mid ’90s. Since then, I got over my fear, started going out without my...
