FW: [Mapserver-users] JavaScript security

[Jan Hartmann]

Slightly off topic I'm afraid, but people simply don't realise how 
different English and German are. The great American writer Mark Twain 
wrote a travel book about Germany about 1880, and in an appendix he 
describes how he tried to learn German. It is one of his funniest 
pieces, but it also gives a good feel how differently things are put in 
German. There are many sites with this text, inside and outside Germany. 
See for example

http://www.kombu.de/twain-2.htm

His Heidelberg address at the end is simply marvelous. See:

Enjoy,

Jan
