BTW, the shoes weren't made of glass.
In heraldry 'vair' (French for skin, leather or fur) was misinterpreted as 'verre' (French for glass).

@Mik I'm not a native speaker, but I do know at least 12 of them.
In particular 'doodle sack' which is 'doedelzak' in my language.

@jon-nyc I figure Bibi no longer is a good friend.

@Axtremus Not all of them. I know someone who is a fitter. His tailor is almost rich

@Doctor-Phibes 'Whom'

@Mik A deal with Putin?

@Horace Praise the Lord

@Horace I thought you were good at maths

@Doctor-Phibes I truly don't know whether I should be happy or not...

@Doctor-Phibes Just after the murder attempt on Hitler my dad was on guard at perimeter I of the Wofsschanze. He nearly shot down Himmler who didn't know the new parole for entering the premises. In the end Himmler was allowed to enter. Shortly after my dad saw Hitler leaving for Berlin. He looked fragile, nervous and was slightly trembling.
I guess my dad told this story a thousand times, so yes: I do remember both Hitler and Himmler. I still blame my dad for not gunning down both.

He wouldn't be the first fornicator to become pope

@Mik Now if it only were for islam....

@jon-nyc When Judas committed suicide his place was taken by Matthias. His authenticity always has been doubtful.
Paul is #14, but he never met Jesus in person.
Roman Catholics are inclined to take 12 apostles into account, and add either Matthias or Paul.
The orthodox church officially recognises 70 apostles.

@Renauda Couldn 't resist

@Klaus There is no real mentioning. But they do require an adress where you're staying your first night. Maybe that was unclear?

BTW, my experience with US customs and immigration never was agreeable...
