dog rug

That is just horrific.
Even putting aside the animal as a rug thing and the animal you're friends with as a rug thing...
The head.
Just...ughhhhhh. Having this big sticky up head from a rug.....

Yeah, no tradition of rugs with heads.

Same WTFness applies to those.

Heh, there really are several layers of wrong in that picture. 

- Making a rug with an animal head

- Making a rug with an animal head out of your beloved pet

- Making a rug with an animal head out of your beloved pet and wanting to sell it

- Making a rug with an animal head out of your beloved pet and wanting to sell it, and publicly disclosing the reason you want to sell it is that your current dog has a necrophilia fetish

From an Economist article about the north-south divide in Germany, the fun factoid that in the 1960s Bavaria was the poorest part of West Germany.

Bavaria is one of the richest states now, so they just stopped being lazy?

Did some googling cause insomnia sucks.

Only two of Germany's Bundesländer (federal states) have Catholic absolute majorities: Bavaria in the southeast (51.2%) and Saarland in the west (59.8%). Besides these states, Catholicism is also the largest religious group in Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg.

Omitting poor Saarland the other three are Germany's top states by GDP ( with Rhineland in 6th). Go catholics!

The highest GDP/capita is in the protestant states of Hamburg, Bremen and Hesse though.
