Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but can't most Germans read English?

Oh, you're such a silly. If everyone could read it, it wouldn't be special! |

According this about 1/2 of Germans can speak English, though that's somewhat different than reading and includes people with only basic conversational skill.
Damn, that's not very special at all. :( |

Nearly every German under the age of 50 speaks English. Not necessarily good English, but...

So maybe my very drunk friend, on a business trip, might have been able to get by with simple English rather than blurting in an alcohol amplified tone "Atchung! Schnitzel!" to get the cab driver to take him to a restaurant? :rotfl:
Aren't tourists great? :beret: |

@Mystic: Your assumption regarding information from SoLA included in "Die sechste Welt" is corect. At time of writing "DsW" SoLA was still up for in print release, IIRC.

Well, considering German has the same word (only pronounced a little bit different and spelled with a capital R)... "To a restaurant" isn't that much different from "Zu einem Restaurant". |

I'd kill for this book in English. Sounds very cool.

What, you heard the same rumour i did? That the SoLA sections they included were all psuedo authored in bantering dialog by the entire cast of "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" with the exception of a piece called "el Sudar a Despertar" done in the voice of Richard Simmons. |

To cut off unfounded speculation I'd like to reiterate what MYSTIC has already said - only basic snippets of info from the SoLA timelines (ie. one entry in twenty made it) were included in the overall timeline in Die 6. Welt. These, the full timelines, and in fact the entire contents of SoLA are to be released as free downloads upon inauguration of the Holostreets subscription service. |

You need to add solar panels.
