Good morning to you all, for those who just woke up or still staying up.
As you can see, I'm pretty bored right now (because i've to stay up and study for my final exam).

Sorry if this is WAY too off topic.
But greetings to you anyway and thanks for reading this thread. :)

Good morning Czar.
how's the weather over there in Iceland ?
This city (Buffalo, NY) sure does seem like an iceland.
Here has been consistent snow storms in the past couple of weeks.

This is what I was told in history class...
The Vikings named it Iceland in hopes of preventing ppl from going there.
and they named the other island Greenland as a decoy to attract ppl.

I'm sure many of you have heard of this story too.

Not quite, they named it Iceland because the guy who named it came here at the winter time and it was a very bad winter :)

but its true about greenland, the first international commercial :)

I have an obligation now I guess.
I'll be happy to answer questions about Germany, Bavaria and us crazy Europeans in general.
;)
Some of the guys from Scandinavia could help out for their corner of Europe I hope.

here's my question:

Did Hitler really commit suicide ?
Some rumored he didn't kill himself and lived on after WWII ended.

Any thoughts ?
(if he lived on, then this world has no justice.)

Yes thats the place, I went there two years ago, its so wonderful, love it :)


Nobody realy knows what happened to Hitler, but I belive he commited suicide or that russian soldiers killed him when they found him.

AFAIK he and Eva were identified by their teeth. If that's enough for the law it's enough for me. Question is who would make this up and why ? Fact for me : suicide.
edit: Off for meeting, back soon.
