Geschaft ist sehr Speise.

P-DL opened in Germany, and this guy digs it.

UPDATE: In English, please.

UPDATE 2: That's that - apparently, the original Tykwer article in German has disappeared from Spiegel Online. I apologize to my vast German readership. Please try to make do with the English translation.

Resume Detritus. #004:

From what I guess was some kind of non-resume thingy:

"I do not have a resume because I have been employed at the same place since 1989."

Resume Detritus. #003:

This resume was posted online. Instead of putting their first and last name on the header, they dropped this:

"Anything you can do...I can do...equal!"

Resume Detritus. #002:

Entire resume:

"Objective to be a member of the xxxx xxxxx team. work diligently to maintain, and be responsible for the team's continued rapid growth. as current market conditions change: to inovate / create / develop and exploit niches in order to sustain growth and profitability as various market segments mature and saturation rates / levels stagnate. to achieve the next level of personal and professional sucess!"

(bits of actual resumes sent to one of these. Then someone sent them to me.)

This information was listed under: Education, Honors and Awards:

Classic Names. #003: Roddy Woomble.

Vocalist for the rock band Idlewild.

Classic Names. #002: Nedge.

(Male) Cashier/Front-Service Clerk. See Nedge live.

No doubt Nedge is the recipient of unending teasing at the hands of his L. Luthor-ish nemesis and assorted other co-workers - after all, it's a girl's name.

Words of Wisdom. #003:

"You see, I still have real breasts. I don't mean to brag; it's just true. I have lived in L.A. for more than three years now, and out here, God-given breasts are rare. Augmented and silicone-enhanced breasts are so common that they have become a personal gift. They are the perfect foil for my perfectly real and, honestly, superior jugs. Men see me with my 100-percent-original rack, and they are so appreciative. This is the gift that fake breasts have given me. They've given my breasts value.

I just walk down the street where I live in Hollywood, and my breasts and I just about get a hero's welcome. We are so damn unique in this land of homogenized anatomy. I'm a Mickey Mantle Topps card. An Indian-head penny. I'm Franklin Minty! What was once seen as a gift to the male gender has become a gift to the nonparticipating female - me! Thank you, Pamela. Thank you, Demi. And, to quote Alanis, thank you, disillusionment."
- Sarah Silverman, from "A Few Words About My Breasts", Esquire, February 1999, p. 92.
