I love when you speak German.

I want to go back, don’t think I will though.

Ahh, don´t forget our winters are as nasty as yours! If you ever need a couch in Europe though, my house is your house :slight_smile:

TIL I learned that speaking the de facto tongue of the world may lack sexiness, but it is made up for in convenience

Well, it was more that the post flattered me, less of approval :blush: I think german is one of the most orc-ish languages besides Hungarian… It only sounds good when you go poetic and/or wise-assy xD

So true! People say Italian is very sweet and lyrical, well those vowels do make a nice rhyme but after reading Dante’s Hell I’m not sold on sweetness, quite the opposite.

I think Russian is surprisingly beautiful… Mind you I’m crap at languages other than English and Italian, which I still don’t speak very confidently.

Yeah, that’s why my Italian conversation sucks lol. But every foreign language sounds too fast to me when I’m trying to learn it! Including Northern Irish :stuck_out_tongue:

Spiral fractures and an immense natural tolerance to pain killers is horrendous.

From reddit’s TIL board…

@hattieinduni

I’m not entirely sure I’ve seen a story more… you, ever.

I can’t phrase it any better than the title of the til thread - TIL there was a councilman in Texas who wanted to remove a cat from the local library. Not only he was the only councilman who voted for the motion, he lost in his bid for reelection, and the mayor declared the cat “library cat for life.”

To be clear - texas city councilman lost seat, cat crowned king (queen?) of library. Just… have fun with your moment here.
