lurking 0 #101 November 1, 2002 Well, actually the spelling is "Sauerkraut" and I hate it. I thought everybody in the US knew the word. It is cliché No1 that all Germans eat it. That´s why Germans were (are?) sometimes called "Krauts" (especially in WW2 era and especially by the Brits) Thomas Germany Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a "Jerry Can" gas can is called that because German's used them first but I'm not sure where the original term came from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #103 November 1, 2002 I speak C, VB, Java, JavaScript, although I'm really rusty in all of them since I haven't actively used them in 3 years. German and English and my German abilities suck (except for beer drinking, that German ability I'm good at).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
