"merkbefreit" (adj.): (individual trait) of being statutory incompetent to notice any misalignment between one's thoughts and reality, one's deeds and intention, or one's behaviour and social competence; being incapable to change one's behaviour by corretly interpreting environmental clues. See also "fell off the clue tree and missed every branch on the way down".

At the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, the National Trust is doing the stupid, YEC-flavoured and, when questioned aggravate it by proving themselves merkbefreit.

Second German word of the day: "fremdschämen" (verb): the desire to hide oneself in the loo because someone else is embarrassing themselves.

Oh my, creationists...
They're starting to conquer good ol' Europe now? Let's hope there's intelligent life somewhere in the universe, since I doubt there is much of it to be found in this solar system...

Strongest argument against "intelligen design": Lack of intelligence...

Those creationists have damn deep pockets. All the way to hell, probably.
