5. Say "Guten Nacht", Fritz. German Wiki is a measley 469,000 Artikelen
Their Chancellor doesn't even deserve a "I promise I won't go any further/you're like a sister to me" backrub from our President!

8. Hmm
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 11:55 AM by Kellanved
I learned in school that German has twice as many words as English (400000 vs 200000), not counting compounds. :shrug:
I guess that's what they tell students all over the world.

10. We invented everything. Even sex.
Before there was a U.S.A. (God Bless America!) people didn't have sex. Babies were delivered by storks, and all our naughty bits were naturally blury and untouchable, just like you see on reality shows.

No cars, no electricity, no telephones, no television, no computers, no sex. It was all too boring.

12. There's no such thing if the French invented it.
Next you're gonna say they invented kissing too.
