Does it actually make sense in Germany?

So yesterday, I was out and about with a good friend of mine. I had my laptop with me and needed to use the internet so I could send a message to my professor, so I sat outside a coffee shop with said friend. This family stopped by, the mother and daughter went inside, while another daughter and who I thought was their father (he was with them, so I didn't ask). Somehow we were drawn into their conversation, and I started telling some of my bad history jokes. I made a comment about how the Greek god Zeus was the first man to give birth.

To cut to the point, this man then started quoting Genesis of the bible and said that these ancient gods were actually Nephilim, half man, half angel (that part in Genesis talks about how some angels saw some women who were "good to marry"). And that god flooded the earth because people began to worship the Nephilim over him. I thought it was an interesting theory.

Yeah, that's what happened to Atlantis. It was totally made an example of.

I thought Atlantis was launched into space.

Atlantis was never on Earth, dumbasses. The only way to get to it is via Stargate.

Ryanderman · 10-31-2009, 11:36 AM

No, he was right. Atlantis started on Earth, but was launched into space a very long time ago.

But now it's back, off San Fransisco under its invisibility shield so we don't know it's there.

Well okay, NOW it is. But you aren't supposed to TELL them that. Geez.

I'm gonna have to see about getting your security clearance revoked.

If you do that, the cult of Ryanderman will show up and we'll have to deal with a full blown revolt. Best to just make him disappear, its safer that way.

I actually meant that the satirical sites, that were similar in their condemning random things in a similar manner, were maintained by fake overzealous christians (in my original post: about, as in, satire "about" those). Which is not the relevent part but additional info. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough from my post.

Sort of, it's not particularly good German.
What made it funny for me were the subtitles. I don't know finnish at all, but that's 'cause.

The fact that a few actors clearly learned their lines phonetically and that the translation isn't 100% correct just makes it funnier if you ask me. (The hotel manager in the "die k�he 1 of 2" video in the related vids is particularly good by the way. I suspect he actually speaks the language.) You definitely get what's happening although of course the point is there's not very much happening.
