old news maybe, but new to me

Bruce Lee may have died not from aspirin but Meprobomate in the aspirin

Thanks The translation was pretty easy, but my knowledge about ancient german area history is pretty vague, but it make sense.

but I dont think life could develop on or in a comet or asteroid, only that debris from a life bearing planet could harbor tiny critters trapped in large chunks of rock thrown off into space during massive collisions.

Bah, we're not southlanders! (silly GoT ref)

Bauernfeind means literally "enemy of peasants/farmers".

Might be from the middle ages or early modern times

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Peasants%27_War is the most prominent example of peasants revolting, but there are surely lots of smaller cases over a longer period.

Mainly aimed to someone living downstairs (germans, krauts etc, your'e south of me) , I watched some sports news and met Ricarda Bauernfeind at random, but I'm a bit curious how anyone can get that surname due to what evil deeds old ancestors might have done ? Is there a more mellow translation ?

Exactly

Would be better for folks if it was "just" a dog, but cooler if it was a lion(ess)

Finally turned out to be probably just a boar

I believe firmly that all immigrants need to be documented. The people that are documented have a bigger hard on against illegals than I do.
"I did it you can do it too."

and both legal and illegal tend to be conservative pro-life Catholics

Residents on the south-western outskirts of Berlin are being urged to stay indoors after overnight sightings of a “loose, dangerous animal”, suspected to be an escaped lioness.

Brandenburg police advised people living in the districts of Kleinmachnow, Stahnsdorf and Teltow on the borders of the German capital to refrain from walking in the woods and to keep pets or farm animals indoors on Thursday. Nurseries were allowed to open but were urged to avoid letting children play outdoors.

Authorities are using helicopters to track down the big cat, which police believed was resting in a wooded area. A veterinarian and two armed hunters were on site and under orders to either stun or shoot dead the animal, officials in the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark said.

“Around midnight we received a notification that we couldn’t believe,” the Brandenburg police spokesperson Daniel Kiep told the broadcaster rbb. “Two passersby spotted an animal chasing after another. One was a wild boar and the other appeared to be a big cat, a lion. The two men recorded a video on their phones and even experienced police officers had to confirm that we are probably dealing with a lion.”

Fire services in Brandenburg said the large animal was “presumably a lioness”. However, the director of a circus in the Teltow area told local media he was not aware of any lions being held in circuses or private zoos in the area and said the animal could be a misidentified Caucasian shepherd dog. “If it’s a lion I’ll eat a broom,” Michel Rogall told Tagesspiegel newspaper.

Police said they had not been informed of any lion escape in the area. “Neither an animal park, a zoo nor a circus is missing such an animal,” a spokesperson said.
