Dumb Polak News latest edition.

How did Canada get to enter the "European Rover Challenge" and why was the U.S. excluded?

Canada has a population similar to Poland, and yet Poland usually beats Canada in the Rover competitions.

In fact, sometimes Poland beats the U.S.A in the University Rover Challenge, even though the U.S.A has about 8 - 9 times more people.

To say that Poland's a dumb country, it boggles the mind.

The Poland Regained: Polish Posters from the 1890s to the 1930s outdoor exhibition in a public space near the Polish Consulate General in New York documents the early days of the newly independent nation.

It features posters by artists including Włodzimierz Tetmajer, Bogdan Nowakowski and Zygmunt Glinicki.

Poland regained independence on November 11, 1918, the day World War I ended, after 123 years of partition by Russia, Austria and Prussia.

In 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, sparking World War II.

The exhibition runs until January 31.

Colourful cribs have been produced in the historic southern Polish city of Kraków for generations and draw on the local architecture for inspiration.

They have been entered onto the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

“The Nativity Scene (szopka) tradition in Kraków is a social practice originating from Christmas celebration customs, centred around constructing cribs,” said UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

“Born in the nineteenth century, the tradition is indissolubly connected to the City of Kraków and based on skills and knowledge passed down for generations,” it added.

UNESCO is a specialised agency of the United Nations.
