Tell that to light wise guy.

Isn't it pedantic....not predantic?
Pedantic:Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules.

Funny Craig, I see more sarcasm than pedantics being displayed here.

"Auf dem Kreuze lieg' ich jetzt, sie schlagen mir die Nägel ein!"
translated to English:
"I now lie on the cross they hammer nails into me!"

Just being polite in offering a translation for those here that don't speak German.

 

[NiemandheißtBoshaftigkeit]

Ummmm, there is a reason I did not post the entire song. I wanted it to appear the way it did.

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I tend to search out the answers to provocative comments or unanswered questions. Hense my user name.

Furthermore, I've always thought that when people speak in a language other than the language that is understood by the company they are in ...that they should offer a translation out of politeness and consideration. I apologize if this was presumptuous of me to pick up the ball so to speak. But since you recently tried to tranlslate something I said, You sort of opened that door of familiarity between us. So, I didn't think you would mind.

But if you would like me to edit the translation of the quote you gave, All you have to do is ask me.

 

[Lbiagm]

now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

[NiemandheißtBoshaftigkeit]

I don't care but I wanted to explain that there was a reason I posted only that.

Factoid #4: I have ancestors from Scotland...who came to America with a coat of arms.

Same here. My family name can be documented back to 1016 A.D. when an Irish prince settled near the present city of Glasgow in southern Scotland. I'm also familiar with my clan's crest, tartan, and motto.

I wanted to add something else... My uncle is an artist. He is one of the few people in the world who can convincingly render in-flight animation by hand. He used to live in England and made commercials for Shell Oil.

One of his projects, that I remember well, was a short movie called "The Snowman". He and his former wife did all the in-flight animation for that movie. You can view some information about the movie at this link.

You can hear the theme song from the movie by clicking here. This particular clip is my sound clip, and is a remake by Nightwish.
