Ich habe ja eine große Schwäche für alles, was mit Grafik zu tun hat. Stifte, Lineale, Schablonen, Messscheiben, Papier, Pinsel - in einem Schreibwaren- oder Künstlerbedarfsladen darf man mich nicht alleine lassen, sonst werden alle Taschen vollgestopft :-) Hier ist Zeichenbedarfporno aus dem Jahr 1914: Ein Katalog der damals schon ältesten Zeichenbedarf-Ladens der Welt (nach…

Dabei fiel das Wort "Deflektorschild". Ihr kennt das doch, wenn bei StarTrek sich die Raumschiffe beharken, und irgendwann kommt dann: "Capt'n, die Schildenergie ist runter auf…
