If you are ever feeling particularly ineffectual, remember --- it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and 4 US presidents to replace the Taliban with ... the Taliban.

I think that is more of a testament to what faith can do.
Faith as such doesn't necessarily have to be for a good cause, as long as a group is fanatical about something it works.

It only "works" if you have no idea how to pronounce "Bach". Here is an example.
The only common sound is the "b".

If it wasn't for you I would still be guessing Schwarzenegger's response, and I do know Bach... but I have long forgotten the Terminator.

Here is a joke from me, back when I was younger I learned some German in school, the basics. I knew that schwarz is black in German and "schwarze" means black as for a person, right @mfb ?
And "negger" translates from German as negro.

So for a while back in school I thought of Arnold as some grandson of a influential slave trader or some other white colonizer...:biggrin: until bit later I found out that his surname means a geographical place in Austria...from then on I never translate surnames directly even if they can be translated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzenegger_(surname)
is a German surname that means person from Schwarzenegg, which is both a village in Switzerland (currently split between the municipalities of Unterlangenegg and Oberlangenegg) and a place in Land Salzburg in Austria.

Me, too. I remembered I'll be back but couldn't associate it with any composer. It simply wasn't funny for me.

I had a feeling it was more than just the Terminator where he says it, a quick google…

Why did Bach walk into the store but then walk out again without buying anything?

Because he realized he was Baroque.
