Well... they're definitely not funny now.

Or they could just pretend the entire franchise never existed. That'd be good.

You sound like someone who meets a lot of women.

"Holy shit. Remember that time you had faith in people?"

I'm quite loving the mental visualisation of a thousand brain-hearts breaking. So I'm going to give this news a tentative 8/10. Would have been 9, but spending time in Afghan women's penitentiary is probably better than spending time married to an Afghan dude.

1) Considering there were 20 other countries included in that study, in terms of averages, I don't really see what substantive difference singling out Switzerland makes.

Obviously whatever this tape is is some kind of miracle substance. They should just let all players wear it and broadcast the results.

Uhh, German and English have a common language ancestor. English isn't derived from German anymore than humans are derived from apes.

Ah, the voice of cliché and convention speaks.

I would guess this is the study being referred to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20571454

Would have thought it was highly unlikely that those other countries have a carry rate of anything more than 0 - so the comparison of that aspect is irrelevant.
