funny, I was going to say that I also regret not speaking more Spanish than some present-tense basics sufficient to order a cerveza ... then again, the good thing about not being a time-travelling Highlander is that you can get by with ordering beer in present-tense just fine ...

My birth certificate is in Spanish which I am quite proud of, but probably disqualifies me from ever being King of the USA.


Cool... well, my kids have Finnish ones (without a name in - kids here need to be named only a few weeks after birth...)

Are you sure it's not German by the way - would fit the zombie theme better ;-) Well, come to think of it, Spanish is almost German, no?

@Legoboyvdlp :-)

@Thorsten: I probably shouldn't divulge personal information that can get manipulated and twisted in other forums, but both my grandmother's were German. My wife is half German, so our kids are more % German than anything else. My family history is more story based, but it's my understanding that my Grandmother's grandfather came from an area that was sometimes Germany, sometimes Poland and helped swim people across a river border to safety during one of the wars fought over there. One of the people my great-great grandfather's had helped escape to safety paid his passage to the USA in return for saving his life.

Finnish is a completely different language, those words look like someone fell to sleep on their keyboard, aaabsooooluuuuteeelyyyy weeeeeiiiirdd ?

@Curt: I suggest to continue this in private with Thorsten, or Godwin's law will be used against anybody around here revealing German ancestors ...

Rather interesting information, Curt, but Hooray's advice might be wise. :)

Before JBK thinks of it, I'd like to start a rumor that I'm Hitler's secret love child, my embryo held in stasis for 30 years deep in a hidden Shield bunker and then discovered and brought to term by an anonymous Hydra field agent who was secretly half alien.

lol, you shouldn't be divulging private information online, it's a good idea to also teach your kids not to do it - sooner or later they may not just run into trained psychologists or criminal profilers, but actual criminals - or, even worse, psychopaths turned writers predicting to be the former ... :shock:

LOL: I meant to write PRETENDING not predicting ...

It's a sick sick world, believe me - just look at what's been happening to us on a freakin flight simulation forum. I don't even want to imagine what kids are having to deal with these days when going online.

yes, it happens at times... especially in 5 year old topics ;)

but IIRC, it was this image...
Image
at least, that's what turned up when searching for the one in the original link...

you can follow the same path i took starting here -> https://www.google.com/search?q=RISE-OF-THE-FURRED-REICH-1.jpg and then click on the image link at the top to switch the search to google's images...

Actually it was a black and white image of a Nazi parade into which a cat with the 'beard-like' black fur raising a paw was photoshopped. I guess if you google 'kitler' along with 'furred reich' you'll be able to still locate it...
