I learned a new word today! Ask me anything!
Edited on Sat Nov-29-03 09:42 AM by brainshrub
hausfrau: noun. a German housewife


"Further, we've wised up to the fact that futurism as a discipline is something of a con: Futurists don't have a crystal ball. They examine trends and play out what-if scenarios. Any hausfrau with gumption and a dialup connection can do it. "Does intelligent thinking add up to a futurist field? I don't think so," Marien says."

Last night I also learned the word "Feltching". But, trust me, you don't want to know what that means.

5. Hey dude, you might want to consider taking Prozac to calm your nerves
Oh and he's Austrian, not German. What you might be confused with is that Austria was once apart of the Franko-Prussian Empire a hundred years ago, which is why culturally it's very similar to Germany.

4. Don't forget the difference in Germans and Austrians....
The Germans WERE Nazi's

The Austrians still are.
