Frogman Living In Bog Arrested For Arson
<snip>

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German frogman who lives on a swampy island and wears a combat-style diving suit and black face paint has been arrested for suspected arson attacks on two yachts, Berlin police said on Friday.



Authorities found the man's camp, equipment and a boat with a silencer on its engine after a tip-off from a forester.


"He wore combat-style aquanaut camouflage and launched his attacks from a swampy island," wrote Bild newspaper on Friday.


Police believe the man, 36, abandoned his flat in eastern Berlin in March to live in a tent on the boggy island in a lake south of the city.

5. he wouldn't
Hefeweizen in Berlin? No Way! Berliner Weisse, Pils or Bernauer Schwarzbier maybe, but certainly not a Hefeweizen.

Besides: the German beer consumption drops about 10% per year. Germany is not even near the top in per capita beer consumption today.

:hi:
