Subject: Schwerpunkt und Cartago Delenda Est, Wo ist seine inventur ?

I couldn't find my German dictionary, and it's been 15 years since 
college so I'm sure I don't have a clue anymore....Just wanted to get 
your attention, lol :)

Ok...I'm back from work, still to ill to shovelglove, what else is a 
worthwhile activity for a excitement challenged girl to do?

Look through "terminated" everyday systems of course!
I *loved* Torquemada 2000...I would promote that one in a nanosecond.
More than 50 percent of my clients are slumping over computers all 
day, and at this point, I can tell, without asking before the 
massage, what field they are in, with around 90 percent accuracy, 
just from how their neck and back muscles contraction/overstretch 
patterns are. That chronic kyphotic posture leads to very 
predictable muscular syndromes. Smart invention Reinhard!

So what's Schwerpunkt...Does this have to do with dropping 
things?...No wait that "plunkt". I don't have a clue, but I'm sure 

it's funny, and probably very German and functionally efficient lol :)

And Cartago Delenda Est?
Maybe something to do with maps? Okay I know in Latin it means
"Is this the map I lent you?" Hmmmmmm?
Or possibly, "could you lend me your car?"
Okay give me a break...the only latin I ever really understood was 
stuff I had to sing from masses, so unless it's a Kyrie or Agnus Dei, 
I only know pig latin....
Ironically, my eight year old son Richard is, this very week, writing 
a book by hand on the origin and meaning of Latin and Roman Numerals.
Not a school assignment mind you...This is what he considers to be 
fun! He is a pretty great kid.

"The Inquisition, what a show, the Inquisition, here we go...
Hey Torquemada, whaddaya say?!"

Peace,
Deb
