Schaedenfreude is a German word for revelling in someone elses suffering.

Only the Germans would have a word for this.

Explains my quarter-German blood and my affinity for bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Considering the German penchant for precision and the tendancy to link numerous words together, there is probably a German word for toe lint.

Doesn't it suck to be them. :-)
