Today I learned that the new female crash test dummy is named Thor.

It's somewhat fitting, I guess. According to Norse mythology, the god Thor did go drag in the Þrymskviða (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Þrymskviða).

(Sex and gender in Norse mythology were not wholly binary, as evidenced by the god Loki becoming pregnant and giving birth to offspring such as Sleipnir [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svaðilfari].)

Hearing my wife's painful screams during labor, I asked: "What's up?"
Her reply: "These contractions are killing me!"

To show that I heard her, I then asked: "What is up?"

A similar type of joke: American children can be harsh . German children are kinder.

Is that like the builder suffering financial difficulties.
When asked "What's up?'
He answered "These contractors are killing me!"

There are more than 300 kinds of bread in Germany. The most favorite is "that one", closely followed by "no, the one next to it".

Is there a 1-1 map between German breads and French cheeses?

" I love you to death". Or at least up to despair.

Interesting thought. I assume that 300 is a very conservative estimate for both.

Still, some of those breads, like the almond one, (Mandelbrot), can be chaotic.

Do you think Benoît has been inspired by bread? Looks as if the Polish bakeries are similar ingenious:

Bread (chleb) is a central part of Polish food culture. Polish bread is traditionally made with sourdough, although other leavening agents are also used today. The most common types of bread are Mieszane pieczywo (wheat mixed bread), chleb biały (white bread), chleb graham (Graham bread), and chleb razowy (whole wheat bread). Other common baked goods in Poland are bułka (rolls) and rogal or rogalik (croissants), which can be considerably larger than their German counterparts, while loaves of bread are usually smaller in comparison. Drożdżówka (sweet rolls made from yeast dough or Danish pastry, often filled with white cheese, poppy seeds, blueberries, plums, rhubarb, or fruit jam) are also widely available.

I fell off the bicycle back in 1995 and had bad scrapes and bruises. Back then, there was no social media, so I'll tell you now.

The evolution of German food includes "Die Wurst of Times."

He's going to come back with all the family photos explaining them.
I can't wait to hear the explanation of why so many pictures of his plate at meal time.
