Hm the school test is interesting. But it does not seem to really apply to Germans, the questions are US centered, and our elementary school is the first 4 years, am very sure we didn't learn half of the stuff asked in that time ;)

That's valid. And I'm sure I'd do horribly on a test geared towards Germans. *nods*

[aquascum]

He ;) Historical rulers: it was a Friedrich, a Wilhelm or a Friedrich-Wilhelm. Recent: Kohl ;)
