Trivia#1: If the barcode on a product starts with 40, 41, 42 or 43, it's from Germany.

I can never think of lines of poems for my entry titles, so now I'll post trivia knowledge you absolutely need to know! Be sure to memorize all of them. In the end it will make you very smart! Trust me.

And now let me tell you something:

I love useless trivia! *_*

[yuidirnt]

The more useless trivia is, the longer you will remember it. That's why I personally love useless trivia :P

[glareola]

Yep! But I won't say when! It'll be a mystery.

Ah, the fox in your icon! I forgot his name... what was it? I used to like him when I was a child!

[glareola]

Oh, I thought he's from "Als die Tiere den Wald verließen" (well, that's the German title at least) and I always thought it was a British series. I'm quite sure it's not from Disney because there are a lot of deaths and cruel things happening (like animals being run over by cars, or poisoned, or shot, or stabbed, etc).

...okay, I can't leave this alone, so I looked some info up: The English title is "The animals of Farthing Wood". The series was a German-British co-production based on an English novel. Well, the fox in your icon does look like a son of Whisper (one of the many foxes in the series) but at the same time he looks indeed too Disney to be from Farthing Wood. I haven't seen the series in too long... I want to watch it again! OTL

IIRC, if a barcode starts with 80 it's from Italy.

Have fun!

Before this I had no idea you could tell the country of origin from the barcode! Now I actually look at the barcodes of things I buy... just because I'm curious! XD

[yuidirnt]

I learnt this in my Business Economy class, I also didn't have any idea you could tell :o It's kind of interesting.

You, YOU, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME EARLIER! I totally would have come along to München. (I love gatherings like that and I love München ^^)
Anyway have fun! <3

Aaaand yeah for KHR and useless trivia!

[glareola]

WAH! Sorry!!! I had no idea! I thought you are not religious anymore and don't want to have anything to do with church things! I thought it would be impolite and even pushy of me to ask! OTL Sorry!
But... it was fun. And also very exhaustive. Are you going to the Katholikentag in Mannheim in 2012? It should be even closer to the Elsass, ja?

[umi_no_suzume]

Mmmh I forgive you!
No serioulsy I totally agree that I'm strange on that, I'm not religious but I love youth religious gatherings. There's an atmosphere I never found anywhere else and that I love.

You're gonna have to post pics and tell me everyyythiiing you did during that time.

And yeah it's goddamn close but I really can't plan that far ahead, I kind of want to go and so I'll keep this suggestion in mind.

[glareola]

Oh, I'm not sure yet if I'll go to Mannheim, but I want to go. We'll see what happens within 2 years, but if I have the time and opportunity to go, I certainly will!

Unfortunately I didn't take a single picture on the Kirchentag. I didn't bring my camera along because I knew I wouldn't have time to take photos. OTL

[glareola]

Thank you!
I rarely find four-leaf clovers but if I do, I usually find more than one. :D
