    I'm pretty sure it was just a part of the mock quote in his post.

    I lived in Deutchland for 2 years (1988-1990), and the only Deutch I remember is "Ein bier bitte". That, and I can count to 8 (mostly thanks to Kraftwerk).

    Hey, I am not a native german speaker. I know the word because I learned german in high school and early university... Now my vocabulary has atrophied to the point where I can only use it for translating old technical documents (Like a paper from 1927 describing the differences between different mexican ambystomatid salamanders), and comic books.
