That I have never heard of. But I suppose there are couples that do this kinda thing. Henry said that, because he probably was forced to realize that he had finally gone too far. I don't know, how long or how extensively you are following the sport of soccer, but this wasn't the first time...

I'm somewhat surprised noone mentioned the famous Alhambra in Granada yet. Pic, Wiki. Speaking of Spain, how about El Escorial. Also yet to be mentioned are some fine castles in Austria like the famous Schloss Belvedere (North, South), Burg Hochosterwitz, Festung Hohenwerfen, Festung...

That was... interesting. Certainly harder as I would have thought. 8 out of 10. But I have to say, I tricked myself with number 3. I thought the Playgirl outfit and the not so pretty face had to be a sign, even though I thought the whole time that it probably was just a not so pretty teen girl...

Hmm, here's an honest response from a European...as most participants in this discussion strike me to be Americans... Here, nobody...and I mean n o b o d y except some golfers gives a crap about Tiger Woods. To me, he's just another guy that cheated on his wife. It's a private matter and nobody...

Dude, how long do you know me here? You know, that I probably have an appropriate and elaborate response. There are just two things standing between georges and my answer. 1.) I'm just not in the mood. I'm tired and I'm going to bed soon, because I have a huge workload tomorrow. 2.) It's of no...

Love it! ....wait, what was the question again? .... Ah yeah! Love it, absolutely love it! :D There are moments my mind and mouth won't produce any appropriate and decent words... I'm talking about loosing a game of memory and stuff like that of course...

Well, I'm not out to defend Hitler here, but in some cultures committing suicide can also be seen as a way to ultimately take responsibility for personal failure. I'd probably think about something like this before evil-eyeing someone who'd easily out-evil you on your most evil day. ;) As for...

You're absolutely right, as always. How could I have been so blind until now?! I'd say the best way is to just go Chuck Norris on everyone's ass, especially those pagans and towelheads and socialists and s**t, useless gypsies and homos...weaklings all of them... Just strongarm everyone and if...

I'd say, when talking about important and/or famous European castles outside of Germany, those two are amongst the first ones that come to mind. :thumbsup: Well, I'd say that's a problem of the English language. ;) In German, Neuschwanstein isn't a castle ("Burg"), it's a "Schloss", which...

Hey! Thanks for the rep! Much appreciated.

So, I'm contemplating buying a new BD-Player for region 1 DVDs and region A Blu-Rays respectively (I live in a region 1/B country). As the OPPO BDP-83 seems to be the new reference with the equipment and performance of Pioneer players that are at double the price, I was thinking about getting...

Tell me about it. We don't have that sort of thing here either (Western Germany). When I first saw what's going on in some parts of the US on "Black Friday", I thought America had a srew loose. ;) Good for me, considering I can use occasions like that to buy US Blu-Rays or DVDs extremely cheap...

Nice thread. :D I honestly couldn't decide, which show I'd prefer...probably Addams Family. Between Lily and Morticia...I'd probably take Lily. :D When talking about cult goth chicks, one shouldn't forget one of the, if not the original scream queen: Vampira (played by Maila Nurmi who sadly...

Yeah, like noone ever tested that before... unbelievable... The views some people have on scholars and scientists are almost unbelievable and sometimes even disrespectful. You know the kind of workload most scientists have? I know scholars and scientists that work 60 to 80 hour weeks without a...

Dude, I don't think you're being very fair here. How many things like that do you know about Germany? Probably not many. Would you have known, without googleing it now, who Michel is? Or what and where Elbflorenz (Florence of the Elbe) is? Or what "das Volk der Dicher und Denker" ("the nation of...

You really have it in for her, don't you? My guess: when you were a kid, you were beaten up by a clown that looked exacly like her. :1orglaugh

Hey Tia! Haven't stopped by here for a while, so I thought I should say 'hello' again. Hope you're doing fine. You're certainly looking fine as always. Certainly a lot of propositions, wishes and demands floating around in here. Popularity's price, girl. ;) While we're at it, I'd like to see a...

I'm not gonna get into this too deep. Just a couple of things. First of all it would be nice, if we'd stop with the black and white. Some people in the NSDAP had their reasons for joining the party, some didn't. And not everyone in the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, SS etc. was a "Nazi". There were a lot...

When in Kyôto, visit the Kinkaku-ji. It's worth every second of your time and every breath you take. It's probably one of the most famous temples of the world and it's absolutely beautiful.

What exactly are you referring to? Because I have no idea, what you're talking about... If you want to see some "Japan", here's a promo video developed by Japan's state department, tourist department etc. during the "Yôkoso Japan" campaign. ("Yôkoso" (ようこそ) means something like "Welcome...

えぇぇぇ?　「仰るとおりです」?　ここには、そういう丁寧にすることが必要じゃなくて、「いったとおり」といってもいいよ。 じゃ、日本について... 俺が日本に興味あるのは明らかな事実だと思われる。日本語を勉強したわけだった。;) (Well, about Japan... One could say it's pretty obvious that I have an interest in Japan. After all it was the reason I learned Japanese.)

Well, dear people, I'd say that depends entirely on where you're from. :D I have never heard of a "grilled chicken sandwich" at Burger King (I guess the fellow user is from the US and was talking about the "tendergrill chicken sandwich"). We don't have that. We have the Grilled Cheese...

It's actually a pretty common means of suicide in Germany. Jumping off a bridge or jumping in front of a train. The town I live in has one of the biggest train stations of the entire region and there is at least one suicide a year here. Off the top of my head, I can remember five suicides of...

Horrible and/or irresponsible things happened almost everywhere atomic weapons were used or tested. Shame that some nations won't learn a thing from that. And I'm not talking only North Korea and Iran here. Hmm...how will our prime polemical stereotype-ridden realist-republican-America-lover...

That is somewhat disturbing... for me as a heterosexual, I mean... :dunno:

And the funny thing is, when it was about buying a larger TV, driving a bigger SUV or eating supersize at McDonalds five times a week, the 5th mortgage on the house (for the purchase of which a bank loan, which wasn't even paid back yet, had been necessary in the first place) was totally fine...

Welcome to China, land of turbocapitalism. ;) Take a good look, America, Germany, Britain... continue lowering wages, cutting down on labor laws, disempowering unions, taking away benefits etc and soon, very soon, it'll look just like this. Welcome to corporate fascism. :D

Well, I see more than one pedestrian standing there, which makes me guess, that there is probably a bus stop or something like that. OBSERVE, dickhead. ;) Besides that, a pedestrian is a part of traffic, too, so the guy in the car has as much responsibility to watch the pedestrian as the other...

That was the first thing that popped into my head, too. And if she does this, who knows what else she does that attracts all sorts of fungus, bacteria etc. She probably thinks, E. Coli is the nice Hungarian dude nextdoor. :D

Oh my god, what a picture.... Nope, he's definitely not. I've never seen the guy, who humiliates himself publicly (by doing something like this for example), get the girl. At least not where I come from. Being a nice guy or even a gentleman is one thing, but this... oh dear... can you say...

Seen too much "Be Kind, Rewind", turtle? :D

"It's a cookbook! A cookbook!!!!" :1orglaugh Brilliant! :rofl: Nice post, BlueBalls. Anyone notice the emphasis on the "great American hero" mythology? For example: there is one soldier for every US war generation. Independence, Civil War, First World War, Second World War, Gulf...

That is a good question. Doesn't work that way where I live. I know from our "Zollbehörde" ("customs department" or whatever you call it in the US), that they mostly don't even inform you about stuff like that. When they decide to open a package of yours, they won't give you any information...

Garrison Keillor, that one I wouldn't have thought of. :thumbsup: :D Well, surely most of the people on the painting are children of Lake Wobegon, if you know what I mean. ;) I'd like to rep you for the fruitful talk, but I'm seemingly not allowed to at the moment. :dunno: So, next opportunity...

At first, I thought so, too. But then I realized the same thing you did and that there are too many (non-Japanese) people from East and Southeast Asia on the painting for an American to have painted it. Anyways, you don't have to understand all the choices, but most of these people played a...

Well, I don't know whether it would actually work or not. I suppose it won't seriously scare anyone. :1orglaugh But it would definitely make me chuckle, if I'd find it on my car. And I rather care about a note, that makes me smile, than about a note, that angers me more. You know. ;)

It could be Aristotle. But he is usually depicted either with a book or as a statesman. So I'm not sure. And the hair isn't right. Could also be Plato. He is usually depicted in red and the face fits better. But it could also be Homer. But he'd miss the headband and the walking stick. I'd say...

Yeah baby! :D I'd say it's Leonardo da Vinci. But I'm not sure. That could very well be. I can't stop looking at the picture either, as I should definitely know more of those people. I think, the guy sitting next to Tyson is supposed to be Vladimir Putin. And when you look at the background...

Oh, and suprisingly, noone spotted Karl Marx, sitting at the big, red table. And the man with the hat and the cigarette next to Elvis isn't Harrison Ford, that's Oppenheimer. The bearded man next to Ghandi could be Confucius. Who is the man next to Clinton? I know him and I've seen him before...

Aside from those already mentioned, I'd add Freud Mozart Gorbatschow and I'd say the guy on the far right wearing a Pickelhaube is supposed to be Bismarck and the guy next to Hitler and Hussein is probably Mussolini.

I remember being at a friend of mines when I was younger, when the "The Witnesses of Jehovah" decided to ring the door bell, not knowing of course, what kind of man my friend's dad was. :D So he opened the door and just said, "Dear infidels, I am a muslim and if you don't get off my front porch...

Only in America....and probably some parts of London. :D I bet in Rome, Paris, Berlin or even where I live, noone would give a crap. ;) Must be nice to live in such a hostile environment 24/7.

Here we go, another US medical myth, mighty Herpes. First, there are many different Herpes viruses. I guess your referring to Herpes simplex (HSV). Even if, there are still two different HSV, which can trigger dozens of different diseases from skin eczema to oesophagitis to meningoencephalitis...

I don't know about Baseball as I don't watch any Baseball. Basketball and Football I haven't watched in a while now. But judging from the sports I watch(ed) on a regular basis (K-1, Boxing, Soccer etc.). I'd say the worst referees, be it because of incompetence, corruption, bias or whatever, are...

If you'd give any further information, what "another country" or "overseas" exactly means, it would be quite helpful. There are many different nationalities on this board. If you were from Germany for example, I could tell you, that yes, customs has probably snatched your porn order. Importing...

I can't recall, who she is, but she is definitely not one of those two.

I had to laugh at that one, too. :1orglaugh

Well, the birds are quail. What the rest is, I don't know. I'm not sure I want to... But seriously, I'm a big friend of meat, but this... this looks disgusting.

Guess what I found, when I googled "god comics" as someone suggested. Hansi :D And there's a website where you can (legally) download pdfs of some 1970s christian comics. Unbelievable. :1orglaugh

Not really. That guy builds and sells custom-made keyboards, monitors, laptop casings ect. professionally. He made the hardware they use at the warehouse in the series "Warehouse13" on SyFy.
