My history teach once jokingly described the Germans this way:

"Beer, sausage, and occassional world conquest."

Cyrano de Bergerac: I have, and found myself the hero.
Antoine Comte de Guiche: Be so good as to read once more the chapter of the windmills... Windmills, remember, if you fight with them...
Cyrano de Bergerac: My enemies change, then, with every wind?
Antoine Comte de Guiche: ...may swing round their huge arms and cast you down into the mire!
Cyrano de Bergerac: Or up, among the stars!

My history teach once jokingly described the Germans this way:

"Beer, sausage, and occassional world conquest."

Oh, man, no wonder this myth is perpetuated, with teachers telling stupid jokes....

In all its' history, Germany embarked on a war of expansive conquest exactly ONCE, under Hitler - and even his megalomanic goals didn't extend beyond Europe.

The only peoples I can think of who tried for 'world conquest' (at least, for most of their known world) were Alexanders Macedonians, Rome and the Mongols. Oh, and let's not forget the British Empire. Germans are no more prone to 'occasional world conquest' than, say, the French (for Napoleon) or Italians (for Mussolini - though he was an inept conquerer at best).

I know it's supposed to be a joke, but jeez...

You should talk... we all know Austria wants its' territories on the Balkan back...

I think we should attack Austria first, before looking to Poland and France. It worked last time... Anschluß, Part 2!

"In most sciences one generation tears down what another has built and what one has established another undoes. In Mathematics alone each generation builds a new story to the old structure." Hermann Hankel

"Although all of this lends support to the belief that there are no odd perfect numbers, only a proof of their nonexistence would be conclusive. We would then be in the curious position of having built up a whole theory for a class of numbers that did not exist." David M. Burton, Elementary Number Theory

 

[Gilder]

"Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,"
I said that."
- Bob Dylan, Talkin' World War III Blues
