could be the high "ph" levels in the water of that area in germany?

ok, that wasnt even phunny.. ------------------------------ Chris,

Reads kinda Phunny to me, even a bit puny too!

Anywho, as today is Phryeday, I feel your assertion of the "ph" level just may have some merit..... in an urban-legend sort of way. Poking around working on this thread (you think this work came out of the absolute vacuum between my ears?), Westfalen is located in the so- called "low country" region of Europe (notice, no "f's" or "ph's" in that word). Now logically thinking, "low country" acts as a type of catchment basin of the surrounding water. Perhaps folks of old tasted this water and exclaimed: Phooey, this water tastes like Phit!

Ok, I quit. Friday or not, stuphid me knows when to walk away with my dignity still !/2 intact.
