You know this joke?

2 drunk tramps are sitting on stairs of Palace of Culture and Science.

Suddenly they see a motoglider approaching the building, and striking it.

After having seen that - one tramp says to another - "You see Jozek, bloody hell, those terrorists here are just like the whole country".

'Stacja Warszawa' by Lady Pank is a great song too.

I actually remembered when their video played here on MTV years ago.

Wow, great!

And who would even think, that most of it was also completely destroyed after WW2?

Probably the most mispronounced Polish city of all, most pronounce it "Row-Claw".


But at least it's easier than Szczecin. (ugggh!)
