    I thought the quickest way to become a supervillan was to send out SPAM.

    Why would learning german be a prerequisite (or even something helpful) for becoming a supervillain?

    Because, obviously, french wouldn't do. I mean, yeah, being French gives you a certain notoriety nowadays, but honestly, can you picture a supervillain ordering a 'croissant' and a copy of 'Le Monde' for breakfast? On the other hand, ordering 'bratwurst' and reading 'Allgemeine Zeitung' does give you some crediblity.

    Have you ever heard German? It sounds evil.

    I do speak German, and you're absolutely right. Well, there's this proverb (sort of) that just nails it down:

    Germans, of course, have no love life. They can't, since whispering "I love you" to your sweetie sounds just the same as telling her that you wish to eviscerate her corpse and place the head on a spear in the front yard as a warning to others.
