    MariOne, remembering more precisely, italian didn't mention "confezione" but the french translation had "confection" - which means manufacturing but also manufactured clothes. And German uses Konfektion for manufactured clothes, also. Maybe that's it: They made a strange French translation which got translated to German by some humorous translator.

    You're living dangerous. There was a person from America who said this, and later there was someone else who tried to verify that he is really filled with jam. (Berliner is a sort of doughnut without its famous hole, but filled with jam.)

    BustaMike, if you meant "Das ist mein Affe" you're out of luck.
    Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?

        Yeah, so my german is limited to one ridiculous phrase that I couldn't even spell. Could be worse.

          Anyway, with some luck and the help of a picture I was able to figure out what you meant. And unless you lived in Germany/Austria/Sitzerland for several years, I don't mind (I had a Chinese colleague whose German was on the same level as yours - after nearly two years in Germany. And for a physicist this would even be sort-of acceptable if he didn't need so much with his English - I don't understand why some people want to work in a country when they don't want to learn the language.)
