What is that word I'm trying to think of? It rhymes with bale. It's like f-FAIL.

Sorry, but Emily Dickinson's last words weren't "Doctor do you think it was the sausage?" Her last words were much more beautiful: "I must go in. The fog is rising." Now you weren't entirely wrong to think that someone's last words were "Doctor do you think it was the sausage?" That would be the writer, Paul Claudel. Which just goes to show you should you ever find yourself in a potentially fatal position in which you have to ask whether it was the sausage, you should immediately follow up that comment with something beautiful and metaphorically resonant like "The fog is rising."

OK, next set of questions.

Fact one: When literally translated, the German word "Warmduscher" means a bag full of douches.

Or fact two: When literally translated, the German word "sitzpinkler" means a man who sits to pee.
