Germany is also a land of sterility.

It's also a land where this story is unheard of. Most likely an April Fool's hoax.

As with the rules of Internet information, until compelling counter-evidence can be provided, the original claim is absolutely true.Olaf wrote:It's also a land where this story is unheard of. Most likely an April Fool's hoax.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Germany is a land of whimsy
From a piece on Chuck Palahniuk's new novel, Pygmy:
Pygmy is about terrorists who masquerade as foreign exchange students and infiltrate a Midwestern high school, and early reviews have already commented on the novel's distinctive narrative voice. Pygmy takes the form of dispatches written in an immigrant's fractured syntax and uncertain grasp of vocabulary, so that, for instance, the foreign-born narrator addresses a senior citizen working as a greeter at Wal-Mart as "venerate ancestor, much respected dying soon rotting corpse."
Chuck was inspired to use that voice after he was interviewed a few years ago on Germany's national radio. He'd studied the language for two years in high school, and wanted to talk briefly to the station's listeners in their native tongue. Chuck practiced and practiced until he had mastered: "I'm very sorry, I've forgotten so much German."
At least, that's what Chuck thought he said. After the live broadcast, he was confronted by angry station bosses who demanded: "Were you trying to be funny?"
It turns out that what Chuck really said was, "I'm very sorry, I've gassed to death so many Germans."
Chuck had intended to use the term "vergisst" which means "forget." Instead, he had said "vergast" which means "to gas."

Gay penguin dads in German zoo hatch their first chick
Penguins Z and Vielpunkt, two male Humboldt penguins at Germany's Bremerhaven Zoo, are the proud new parents of a healthy penguin chick.
"Another couple threw the egg out of their batch. We picked it up and put it in the nest of the gay penguins," veterinarian Joachim Schöne told the German newspaper Bild of the pair's entry into parenthood. Z and Vielpunkt faithfully cared for their adopted egg for more than a month; in late April it hatched. Since then, they've been taking care of their chick around the clock; it's still too young to feed itself, so the dads feed him fish mash, Schöne explained.
"Since the chick arrived, they have been behaving just as you would expect a heterosexual couple to do," the zoo said in a statement.
