  2. Kevin the play that you were thinking of is M. Butterfly-Madame Butterfly is an earlier opera about an American man and a Japanese woman. I’m a big fan, keep the kick ass work guys.

  3. oh man, the mispronunciations of all your german is wonderful! Especially if you go up in pitch =)
    What’s with the new intro? I think I liked the old one better.

  4. The thing I find amazing and horrifying about Mengele is not just the horrible things he did personally but what he managed to convinced others to do. The treatment of pregnant women you describe is just astonishing, quite frankly. I just don’t understand how you could dehumanise someone so much to be physically able to do that – I mean I can’t imagine doing it to any kind of animal, no matter how little I identify with it (eg, things as alien or different as insects). Let’s hope it never happens again, but I guess I should be a realist and not hold out hope. Humans suck sometimes.

  5. The Gents asked what could be used to make eyes turn blue. The answer has actually been known since Crystal Gayle announced it in 1977:
    Doughnuts.
