All I can say is that the Germans are sports and keyboard challenged.

First, note that the key "x" is next to the key "z".  With my
Fat Fingers <once the tm for hitting Del keys> the probability of
hitting one that I aim at is about 0.6.

You mean the 5-time Belgian champion of Tour de France or the pool
(Merkin pocket billiard) hustler Eddie Felson (aka Paul Newman)?

Mark Spitz is die Merkin Olympic schwimmin champ, nicht die
Schwin bicycle champ or die pool-schtick champion.  :-)

Da Feeesh.
