  1. Oppenheimer -> Hanau Lived there for 6 month when a teen. Oppenheimer's father was born in Hanau. Same as the Brother Grimm or Franziscus Sylvus (invented genever/gin)
  2. black hole -> Karl Schwarzschild Did the early work on black holes and the event horizon. Died way to early on a disease he got while calculating artillery shooting at the russian frontier.
  3. vending machine -> harvest yourself Some farmers around us have fields where you can harvest yourself. No control, just a moneybox in a heavy concrete block. Pumpkins, sunflowers, strawberries, ....
  4. Tokyo -> Japan Not successful at home, but perhaps you would be big in Japan...
  5. Beat It -> Toto I think at the recording of Beat It 4 Toto musicians played. Funnily the song which comes first when hearing the name Toto is quite the opppsite meaning to Beat it:
  6. Dromedary (one hump) and Bactrian (two humps) -> Canada Once there were giant camels in Canada. Researchers say that their feet were as good on snow as on sand. yukon camel
  7. pell mell -> Marburg Pell Mell was a rock group from nearby city Marburg. Also the name of her LP album. Progressive classsic rock.
  8. Outch. Still 9 days to full moon with all its changing in mood and body (werewolves). Did you eat something which could cause strange effects? Bacteria or mold infected stuff?
  9. metaphasic -> cells When we were at university and my wife learning for tests in genetics I did the interrogation from books. Not Startrek, but that what I connect from decades ago:
  10. elements ->Meitnerium In the list of elements it is number 109. Named after Lise Meitner. She was the first to discover how many energy is in splitting atoms. Somehow her name is not mentioned in the Oppenheimer movie. She saw the danger and wrote to other scientiststo make no bomb out of it.
  11. carve -> skiing Never had carving ski. In my youth I had straight alpine ski and now I do mainly cross country.
  12. Birthdays- Think it will be close to three more years to my next birthday. Sharing birthday with half of the twins so its more their my than mine birthday short before x-mas. @LINDOR How many Lindor pralines do you get on your birthday?
  13. pumpkins -> fodder beets We don't carve pumpkins but fodder beets....
  14. wedding -> Polterabend The eve before wedding neiighbours, former classmates, friends,... come to the house of the bride and throw porcelaine. Breaking porcelaine is said to bring luck. We had around 300 guests at the marriage of our oldest. The couple has to cleanup the porcelaine together before a little party can start. We served drinks and snacks at the firefighter building after the porcelaine breaking. The wedding is then normally with a smaller number of people. At our place before entering the chapel for the wedding the couple has to do challenges, like sawing a trunk blocking the entrance door with a two men saw to show that they can work together to solve problems.
  15. We have firefighter open day tomorrow and I was phoning the baker for some hundreds breadrolls. I was put on hold and guess what was played in an endless loop:
