Great! 

I think I can se a few of my scripts becoming bash aliases :) 

        find -print0 | shuf -z | xargs -0 mplayer

There goes the good old babplay_randomly.py... :) 

.. or not. I can't control the mplayer from the shell now... seems I don't yet 
understand the commands well enough.

Yes - It would be one of your shortest entries, I think, but it would be 
perfectly to the point and easy to understand. Put another way: It would be a 
great focus - for netrik, too. 

How can you best reach that goal? 

Best wishes,

Ein Mann wird auf der Straße mit einem Messer bedroht. 
Zwei Polizisten sind sofort da und halten ein Transparent davor. 

        "Illegale Szene. Niemand darf das sehen."

Der Mann wird ausgeraubt, erstochen und verblutet, 
denn die Polizisten haben beide Hände voll zu tun. 

Willkommen in Deutschland. Zensur ist schön.
