Aug 21st, 2017: Extra Time
Google links Poems about time at 8,530,000, songs about time 81,000,000, and articles about time 1,060,000,000.
Everyone seems to want more time, they complain about not enough time to do this or that, there aren’t enough hours in the day, they don’t get enough sleep. Time is democratic, everybody gets 24 hours in their day and 60 minutes in their hours, right? Yeah yeah, I know, Astronauts, space/time compendium, and science fiction. I’m talking about normal people from the worst slums to the plushest palaces. But I know the one place on Earth you can get more time, and it’s in Germany. http://cellar.org/2017/clock.jpg Quote:

That is the damnedest looking island I've ever seen.
Pretty interesting place, though. |
That is barely an island. By the thinnest of margins.
|
I kept thinking about what Rugen reminded me of.
It is a gerrymandered island! |
Yup, gerries everywhere. ;)
|
Do Germans have jerry cans? Well, gerry cans, anyway?
|
Of course. That's how they got the name.
|
Yeah, I know how they got the name, but I was talking about whether Germans are offended by the term "jerry" (gerry, wtfe).

It would seem that whether or not a German would find the word jerrycan offensive would depend on the context in which it's used (as usual) AND how much of a history buff that person is as it could simply mean a large capacity can. |
