    ah now if it was French then, hairy legs and underarms would be compulsory. Shaved legs with German, but goose stepping compulsory :roll: :roll:

    They have pajama parties for it and everything. That's why they join clubs. Thats a FACT.

    Ahem.

    That's a popular - but understandable - misconception.

    Tub o' lard local riders pioneered leg shaving at the beginning of the century. Pros copied them because they thought it looked cool (which, obviously, it does).

    Pros have lots of massage because it's how they get to enjoy the forbidden love that only two men and a tub of massage oil can know. It's nothing to do with shaving.

    FACT.

    That's easy.

    It's because it's less painful and less embarrassing that the consequences of not doing so, which are having to walk around with an ice pack and a jar of calamine lotion applied to a scrotum that feels like it's been sandblasted and finished off with a floorsander loaded with some 40 grade paper.

    NEXT!

    I am too much of a gent to have posted the lay-deez version.

    More German stereotypes:

    - winning penalty shootouts
    - eating sausage (fnar fnar)
    - starting wars
    - losing wars
    - making bike frames that are stiff as fcuk

    ah yes but then we lasses know the pain associated with using a mens saddle :shock:

    Sorry but bike manufacturers really need to know that when you design a womans bike you don't put a chuffing mens saddle on it....basic human anatomy says things are diffrent down there and need to be padded in a different manner.

    anyway back to German stereotypes....

    - towels on deck chairs
    - sausages


    However they are a very widely travel nation of people.

    How about the German sense of humour? Here's an extract from a recent Telegraph news artice (I swear I don't read the telegraph - it just came up before the BBC version)
    The state-sponsored Caricatura Museum in Frankfurt is to become a shrine to the country's humour, satire and comic art, which have so far remained largely unknown to the international public. The project is the "fulfilment of a life-long dream" for its curator, Achim Frenz, who is hoping to shatter the stereotype of the humourless German.

    However he admitted: "We have only just opened the museum because until now we didn't have enough comedy to put in it."

    Ok forget the little issue of invasions and such (certinally where the French are concerned, they are a restaurant nation afterall) but generally now they are a more peacefully widely traveled people
