The event has been going on for 20 years now, taking place in various countries all over the world. The participants that sit down to take the written quiz all do it simultaneously on the first Saturday of June. They take it in two parts, each of them lasting 1 hour.

    I was there with my wife about a month ago. It's fantastic. My wife immediately wanted to stay. I told her that she would have to get rid of most her stuff because of the relatively small living quarters. She pretended that it would be no problem for her. ;) In the beginning, the inhabitants must have been catholic, citizens of Augsburg and pray three times a day. Interesting fact: Mozart's great-grandfather was very poor and lived there. If he wouldn't have got the help back then, there would have been no Magic Flute, no Nachtmusik and no wedding for the figaro. ;)

Another reason might have been that many of their business practices especially in concern to unions and worker's rights were illegal in Germany, leading to a lot of lawsuits (Germany has very strict laws to protect worker's rights, and the unions are traditionally very strong).

    It's like the "Doomsday Seed Vault" in Norway. It's a building almost exactly like this, but it stores seeds and is a secure back up facility for all the seeds for global crops in case of an apocalyptic event. Check it out on Wikipedia. Edit: typo

    When the water wars start, expect the United States (or what's left of it by then) to invade. Right wing pundits in the US like Tucker Carlson are already talking about it, so don't think this is a paranoid delusion. I really wish it were.

    In the middle ages, european pubs and inns had a similar perpetual stew. The pot of stew was just constanly held near boling point, so that no germs or otherwise harmful organisms could develop. Instead of making a new batch, new ingredients were added whenever necessary,. While sounding strage, it was probably safe to eat.

    This has nothing to do w/ her at all. Shes a beautiful young woman. But I love how we treat being beautiful like it's some achievement we worked so hard for. lol. It's wild. Yet..... natural beauty takes literally no work. No skill. No time. No commitment. No talent. Nothing. Society is so weird.

    This is due to France being the only country that still has its "colonies", although the call them oversea departments by now (strangely except New Caledonia, that remains a colony up to date). Oversea departments are Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guayana, Réunion and Mayotte. There also are the "Collectivité d’outre-mer" terretories that have part autonomy but still belong to France, like French Polynesia and Saint-Martin, and part of antarctica ("Terre Adélie").

    “The term "pH" was first described by Danish biochemist Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen in 1909. pH is an abbreviation for "power of hydrogen" where "p" is short for the German word for power, potenz and H is the element symbol for hydrogen. The H is capitalized because it is standard to capitalize element symbols. The abbreviation also works in French, with pouvoir hydrogen translating as "the power of hydrogen".”
