<hoping I'm not making a fool of myself> Uh... "Käse". I think. Even if I'm wrong about the exact word, it *is* derived from the Latin. </hoping I'm not making a fool of myself> My German really *isn't* bad, all things considered. I'm capable of what's expected of my in my German class, but for whatever reason, outside of German class I always feel like whenever I say or do anything involving German that I'm screwing it up some how. :-( -- Robert
