Hey, calm down.

After all, he didn't say "Gut Kind will Keile haben."

"Gut Ding will Weile haben" is a german "Volksweisheit", something like "farmer's wisdom". The german "Ding" means "thing, something, Object" and not what it means in English! The word by word translation would be "Good things need time to maturate/ripen/age".

The intention is like: "Rome wasn't built in a day".

LOL, but your German is almost as good as my Spanglish.
Ein bisschen Spaß muss sein :)

Really? Children read the dot? Hmmm ... I'm not to sure about that.

But I remember an English girl which couldn't drive on german highways without laughing whenever she saw the sign saying "Ausfahrt", which means "exit" in German. Should we better take them down? Now, do you know how the hungarian word for "vegetables" sound to germans ... ?

Nix für ungut!

Like I sometimes make fun with the word fast food, fast means almost or nearly in German so "fast food" would be like almost or nearly food.

It's even funnier in dutch. Aus = uit, fahrt = vaart, so a literal translation would be "uitvaart", the dutch word for funeral.

It's funny that in Latvian "Vista" means hen or chicken. So much for Microsoft's best operating system...

Microsoft's BEST operating system? You mean 3.1? Ja, weil das Spaß macht! Ich spielte SkiFree, und DOS war... oh yeah... gut times.

In Italian sVista means error or mistake...... I think that the name is right for the best windows ever made :)
