I like "The Regulation of Property" the most, It's absolutely hilarious. Can't wait to show this to friends.

Fun little fact about the German language... If they don't have a word for it, they steal it from the English or they just mash all the words used to describe it together.

ex: Krankenhaus = Sick house = hospital

Interesting. I thought English was the newer language.

It is, however certain words are a pain in the ass:

Geschlechtsverkehr = sex (intercourse), but nobody wants to spell that... so they just use the english word
