'British Schindler' Sir Nicholas Winton dies aged 106

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-33350880

I've always thought it a shame that so few people seem to know Mr. Winton's story. His actions seventy-five years ago really do show the best side of human nature: courage, kindness, selflessness, altruism.

Rest well, Sir Nicky: an incredibly humble and giving man.  Smile Thumbup

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
