How German Sounds Compared to Other Languages

Quadrophonic says...

As a fellow fellow german I just have to say our language definitely has the capability to sound like that, while it's hard (not impossible) to speak that way in French.

For a different perspective I offer this link for everybody to hear what "smooth" german sounds like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xknFh8aZiGM

As a german, without any patriotism in me, I have to say that i'm getting sick of hearing these language comparison jokes, which are only imitating the "Hitler" style of speaking. I get these impersonations nearly everytime my being german comes up. Let me assure you that no normal german talks like that (Except when we do Hitler impersonations, which is like all the time, but only behind your backs.)

Sorry if I'm being a grump, needed to vent a little.

Testing Babies for Moral Choices

Quadrophonic says...

Speaking of how hardwired we humans come into existence, I once read something about a study that they did with newborn babies. Like just some days old newborns. They put these two items above these kids, so that they could look at them while they lie in their beds and tracked the babies eye movements. The two items where a little car, made of metal and a nice round sun (like a stuffed animal). The interesting thing they found out was that the majority of the male babies looked way more often and longer at the car, whilst the majority of the female babies looked at the sun.
It's quite impressive to see how predestined we are.... some people are just born car mechanics.
