6. Croutons -- they only pretend to be part of the salad

The salad itself is characterized by minimal preparation of unrefined vegetation, but the croutons are stale bread -- something else altogether. Perhaps they were once wheat or rye or some other grain, but they have long since undergone a fundamental transformation.

Yet they are thrown in with the salad as if they were similar. They occupy the same general space as the rest of the salad, but intend something completely different.

Croutons of a most sinister nature.

7. Who is BFEE???

Please forgive my naive question. I assume it is George W., but where does the akronym or name come from?
And, as I am just asking questions: What is GOP? Government?

Thanks for explaining this to someone from Old Europe.

14. Nur ein bißchen trübe heute, oder?

But even during holidays you are reading DU...
Will you visit Berlin? Only about one hour by train.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. Its always gloomy here .

I say I am just visiting but I have been here for 2 years . Should be going back home either end of 2003 or beginning of 2004 . I hate the Deustche Bahn ... back experiences with them . Never can find the ticket dispenser , thus they take 50 Euros from me everytime . Everyday is a holiday for me . I'm always online doing independent class work so I am always on DU reading articles .

[gandalf]

16. So try the Online Ticket...

from Deutsche Bahn, you can print it out at home and don't have to stand for hours in queues (at least if your journey is longer than 100km).
I studied in Braunschweig, so I know the area around Hannover. Enjoy your remaining time there!

More than pests -- a plague.

Only thing to do is close the establishment down, and hire new management.
