Well I am learning to speak German, does that count for anything? I once looked up the words for fire goat (my Chinese horoscope) but now I don't remember what they were. Feuer something or other. It didn't have quite the zap I had hoped for.

I did find out that Popo, which is what I call Mister at home, is a quaint German expression for butt. Not arse/ass, but butt/bum/bottom. Sorta reminds me of that Far Side cartoon where the Lone Ranger finds out what Kemosabe means.... :-D
