The 13th-century Marienkirche is a Lübeck landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site. A display graphically illustrates how it (and much more of Lübeck) was left by the RAF on Palm Sunday 1942, with the wooden roof burnt away and the interior gutted.

Today we saw a white-eared opossum and that's how I learned that Argentinians call them "comadreja" - literally weasel.

In August of 1977, Tim Horton was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, just 3 years after losing his life in an automobile accident. Known as "the strongest man in hockey " during his career, he helped the Toronto Maple Leafs win 4 Stanley Cups. He would have been only notable with hockey nerds except for the fact that before he died, he was the namesake and primary investor for a Hamilton Ontario restaurant selling donuts and coffee. Today, most Canadians live within 100 metres of a Timmies and don't have a clue who the founder was, or that he died crashing his exotic sports car while drunk. (Insert tasteless joke about TimBits all over the QEW...)
