| A clever mixture of articles, relative and demonstrative pronouns forming an interesting accumulation of homonyms: "Die, die die, die die Dietriche erfunden haben, verdammen, tun unrecht" (those who curse those who invented picklocks do them wrong).
A whole lot of conjunctions, but not all of them serving their regular function: A butcher saying to the sign painter, "Die Abstände zwischen 'Fleisch' und 'und' und 'und' und 'Würste' sollten gleich sein (1)" (The spaces between 'Meat' and 'And' and 'And' and 'Sausages' ought to be equal).
Reply: "Im Beispiel (1) sind die Abstände zwischen Fleisch und 'und' und 'und' und 'und' und 'und' und 'und' und 'und' und 'un'd und 'und' und 'und' und 'und' und Wurst gleich gross" (In example (1) the spaces beween 'Meat' and 'and' and 'and' and 'And' and 'And' and 'and' and 'and' and 'And' and 'And' and 'and' and 'and' and 'Sausages' are equal). | |

It`s nice to have a homepage, but it`s even nicer if you will find there some useful informations
