Michael Emrys Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Oh. Well, not all of us are obssessed...er...I mean justifiably concerned...with such matters. I deeply apologize if I touched on a delicate matter. Wishing you the best of health, both mental and...er...whatever. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMplayer Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Anyone good enough at German to say if 'panzarfaust' could also be translated as a 'mailed fist'? (not mailed like at the post office, but armored, like in medieval days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
