Revealed: Lindbergh had a secret second identity!

At least a big (but reputable) Munich newspaper ran this story in today’s issue. Charles Lindbergh, they say, had a secret lover in Munich from 1957 until his death in 1974 with whom he fathered three children. That’s what the children of Munich hatmaker Brigitte Hesshaimer claim, two years after their mother’s death. Allegedly Lindbergh first met Hesshaimer in 1957 during negotiations for a German translation of his book and regularly visited her during the rest of his life.

Googled around but couldn’t find any other source but this one to back it up. If you’re interested in the German article, click here.

I believe “bling-bling” which IMHO is by far the most retarded saying I’ve ever had the displeasure of hearing, refers to the sound effect in movies, television and cartoons that is heard when light glints off of jewels, gold, or anything shiny.

And as for “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”, this is a very old saying regarding how people tell the age of a horse. You look into the horse’s mouth and see the length of his teeth, or rather it’s really the shortness of his gums, and the longer the teeth appear the older the animal is. So looking a gift horse in the mouth and seeing that it was an old animal would be considered rude, since someone just gave it to you rather than making you pay for it.

Oops, replyed to the wrong thread, if any mod’s would be kind enough to remove this, i’ll repost in the proper place.
