Don’t forget about the dude who converted a one person rowing boat in a way that one other person could hide in the small space underneath. He could just claim he was on a single boat trip on the east sea when he was stopped and they never really checked, because the boat was clearly too small to fit more than one person. He smuggled like 15 other people into the west.

#tbt that time two brothers bought their own planes, learnt to fly them and disguised them as soviet planes so they wouldn’t be questioned and then flew into east germany to rescue their third brother from a park and recorded the entire operation and got away with it

american: *decrusts their toast*

german cackles in the distance. a Krustenbrot™ is being cut with the help of a saw and several strong men. infinite chewing and jaw breaking begins. the crunch can be heard over miles, people flinch. it is Abendbrotzeit.

Did you know…

…That the French word for ‘fox’ (renard) comes from the name of Reynard the Fox, the protagonist of a literary cycle of the same name (fr. Roman de Renart), that used to be very popular in Medieval Europe.

The fables tell the story of Reynard’s adventures, mocking West European aristocracy and clergy of the epoch (presented by other animals). Reynard, a peasant-hero and a smart trickster, fools them for his own advantage and almost always manages to avoid possible consequences of his risky actions.

The stories were written by different authors (Pierre de St. Cloud is known to have opened the cycle), and the characters appeared in many literary works of different kinds created later.

So why did a fictional character’s name replace the old French goupil? Some people think it happened due to the incredible popularity of ‘Reynard the Fox’; others believe that this word was used as an euphemism, since it was considered bad luck to name wild animals.

In german we don’t say “Quickly now!”, we say “Arme und Beine bilden eine rotierende Scheibe wobei der Arsch der höchste Punkt ist!”, and I think that’s beautiful.

Anyone heard of or used WordDive? I just found it looking for Estonian & Finnish apps and just caught a first glimpse but it seems cool! And I love that it has both of the langs tbh You can learn the basics, vocab for travelling, for work or advanced vocabulary. Also it has audio which I find super important!! So yeah it seems cool so I thought I’d share.
