Two archaeologists stand in a trench looking at an unearthed, fossilised, time machine and a tyrannosaurus skull in whose jaws is a human skeleton holding an aerosol can. One says: “These fossils would appear to suggest that, while Professor Cooper's time machine was a great success, his dinosaur repellent formula was not.”

(CLUB) Paul Wanner, Can Uzun, Ibrahim Maza & Co.: Warum der DFB seine eigenen Talente verliert Uzun, Maza, Wanner, Asllani: In den vergangenen Jahren ist dem DFB fast eine komplette Nationalmannschaft durch die Lappen gegangen. Und für den Verband wird das Problem immer größer.

Sehr spannender Text!

"Fakt ist: Seit dem Rücktritt von Mesut Özil haben mit Suat Serdar und Deniz Undav nur zwei Spieler für die deutsche A-Nationalmannschaft debütiert, die theoretisch auch für die Türkei in Frage gekommen wären. [...] für die Türkei sechs in Deutschland geborene Profis."

Five cut-out-and-keep bookplates 

 Each reads ‘ex-libris’ then has a space for the owners name. The design reflects the genre:
 
 Sci-fi:
 Nanotechnology tracks the book, monitors its condition and summons a retrieval drone if necessary. 
 
 Horror:
 An ancient curse creates feelings of unease, rising to apalling, abject horror unless the book is returned. 
 
 Romance :
 Acts as an invite to the county's grandest ball, but revoked if not returned in a polite and timely manner. 
 
 Crime:
 Tailed by a dishevelled Gumshoe who Seems cynical, but loves books more than dames and bourbon. 
 
 Fantasy:
 A fellowship of heroes lead the borrower on an epic quest to return the tome to its Rightful shelf.
