The German politician who never was

Ah, Jakob Maria Mierscheid… the things you find on Wiki when you’re not even really looking!

Interesting. But what did you start out researching?

He is not the only example of a particular sort of German humor. I give you the stone louse.

ETA: And what do you know, it even has a link to our friend Jakob Maria Mierscheid.

Hmm. Not finding the Steinlaus account on Twitter. Damn.

As a co-worker raised by very Cherman parents used to put it, “The German sense of humor is no laughing matter!”

I’m not even sure now. It might have started here: Fictitious entry - Wikipedia

His name is my name too!

Then how do we know you even exist?
