Make the best of snow and shit

sorry, but a (ex-) fellow student posted this picture today in our student online community and I thought that it’s kinda funny 
The photo looks like it is not taken in Germany, but it would fit totally. Spring starts in a few days (21.) but the snow doesn’t want to melt. I haven’t seen so much snow in the last years (here). You must know that I’m living in the northern part of Germany and we don’t have much snow (compared to the southern regions). It is too wet here at the coast I guess. See our winter weather, how it was just some days ago (me and view out of my study room):
Cool, huh? It is not a fake it is Eckernfoerde! I like the snow though…normally we only have wet snow that doesn’t last longer than a few days. In the federal state Thueringen eight trucks full of snow were just sold at an auction on ebay for more than 2000 Euro!!! Yeah, it could have been my crazy idea *damn*; the mayoress of the small town Steinach was faster. She did it only as a joke (Jux). The whole revenue will be given to an organization that helps children suffering from cancer. Very nice idea. This just shows that you should really follow your ideas and just DO it 
I think, today, with the internet and our fast communication, everything is possible. For more infos you can read the full article (only in German) here.
I can stick to the same topic: we say in German “aus Scheisse Gold machen”, what is a saying for make money out of nothing/shit/don’t know how the saying is in English, sorry. Today the news said that they want to make medicine out of dung (Mist) to help people with asthma and neurodermatitis. Crazy, huh?
The good things seem to be just in our closest environment…we only need to open our eyes and inhale more intense when we are in a cow barn *mmmhhhhmmm* it’s good to build more antibodies…(it’s what they said in the news) yeah!
Too bad that I already suffered many years from my allergies although I live almost in the countryside…I will book my next holidays on a farm in the next village, just a few minutes out of town…haha.
It’s strange because years before they told me to stay away from hay, animals and that especially places like farms would be the death for allergic people like me.
I guess that dung, cow shit and all dirt stuff from barns will be sold at ebay soon
