What does the following mean?

"I am heavy on the wire"

i have no idea. i picked the middle choice hoping it wouldn't affect the result very much.

Italians are spicy meatballs? If so, you haven't met Croats. We're even spicier and meatball-ier.

Sorry, I just cut and paste and didn't read my own post so I wasn't aware of how it was formatted. I have edited it so it reads better now.

schwer auf Draht sein
to be heavy on wire
meaning: to react very fast

By the way, schwer means heavy, auf means on, draht means wire, and sein means is.

I got a tie between Danish and Belgian at 88% a piece... the next highest was German/Turkish/Molvanian(?)/French at fifty percent.

Go figure that one out
