To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Carnival in Deutschland
It's Carnival season in Germany and Der Spiegel has a photo gallery highlighting festivities in Cologne, Aachen and Dusseldorf. Check out the pictures here.
Warning -- not work safe, may offend ethnic sensibilities and Nazis.
Brings back memories.
I remember going to Carnival in Cologne many, many years ago. I was told that it was shameful to leave the festivities with your own wife. I couldn't say -- wasn't married at the time, neither was the woman I left with.
