RPMiller Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Like Weltshmertz. Hm... world... shmertz. Shmertz... D'oh! "Smart," of course. So it would be "world smarts." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Boy. That almost makes me want to pull out my copy of Holweger's solar model atmosphere paper and the translation I did of it. On the other hand, crawling naked fifty yards through broken glass and rock salt might be more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMiller Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Like Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung. I know, right? I mean come on, how are you going to fit that on a little sign on the side of the road, let alone expect drivers to read it as they race by.

RPMiller Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yup, me too. Now for some crazy reason I'm learning Japanese, which incidentally has a lot in common with German. I guess that is why they got along so well in the 40s.
