Germany's conservative minister of finance decided that hotels that are rented on an hourly rate (instead of per night) are now VAT free. I wonder how that aims at their core constituency, namely families from rural areas.

Must be crazy when you look out of the window and see a fighter jet that close to your own aircraft.

Such a great story, I'll actually offer Languish the choice of joke responses:

Joke #1:  Guess those Indian pilots never saw the smoke signals, huh?

Joke #2:  Guess those Indian pilots never even heard the Jericho trumpets, huh?

Wakka, wakka.

Heh.  So we just order our groceries online and go and pick them up the next day, pretty much just letting the grocery store employees do all the annoying time consuming shit for us for a $5 charge.  Totally worth it.

Anyhow, yesterday when we were putting the order in, my wife mentioned getting steaks, which...yeah lets do that.  When ordering, she put in there 2x sirloins, then in the comments said something along the lines of "As close to 1lb as you can get," thinking it would probably end up at 18oz or whatever.  They called beforehand asking if ~1.5lb is alright.  Yeah sure, we'll just have some bigger steaks, nbd.  Well...she forgot to say 1lb TOTAL, so instead we got two 1.5lb sirloins.  Oops.    She pulled one out and put it on a plate just now.  Those are some bigass steaks.

Confirmed: Naked Chicken Chalupa Clear Sign Of The Apocalypse
February 13, 2017


WORLD—According to prophecy experts from around the globe, Taco Bell's recently introduced Naked Chicken Chalupa menu item is a sure sign of impending apocalypse.

The taco-like food item utilizes fried chicken in lieu of a traditional shell.

Citing the entree's abominable taste and unholy inversion of all that is good about Mexican food, experts claim the item may have been prophesied about in the books of Revelation and Daniel.

"Scholars have been divided on what exactly the abomination of desolation is, but we're all pretty much in agreement now that it was a reference to this bizarre travesty of fast food," prophecy guru Hal Lindsey said Monday. "Why on earth would anyone eat this thing, knowing it comes straight from the bowels of hell?"

Other Bible scholars were in complete agreement, calling the limited-time, fried-chicken-shelled specialty chalupa a definite sign that the time of the pouring out of God's wrath upon the earth is near.

100% Italian. 

Although I get the feel that some questions were mostly aimed at Italian-Americans.

Italian culture must have secretly taken over the world
