Spiffor,

Sömmerda should take gold in that contest. Accent or no accent, it's a phonetical catastrophe. I think for bigger, known cities, Buxtehude is also a strong candidate.

It's the president of Finland. It's mostly there to mock the Finns but it has failed miserably to do so. I know for a fact that Stefu has sinful thoughts whenever a picture of her comes along. There was some breif chat in my math thread about it being time for an avatar change but I haven't taken care of it yet.

Yes, as well as 'Blue Balls' and '**** in Hand'. Those Amish were sex crazed.
