 |
|
That the Volkswagen Beetle is also known as the Käfer (Germany), Escarabajo (Spain), Coccinele (France and Italy), and Fusca (in Brazil), all of those names meaning the "beetle" bug. VW Brazil is bringing back their version of the car and I narrated a video for them this morning.
Käfer? Jeffrey?
Also learned that Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's. I missed the word a while back. Doing a commercial for his farewell concert tour shortly.

yep, Kafer is German for "bug". And my middle name is Gaelic for "ruler of all". Put em together and you get.... "Ruler of all bugs".

| Swedes call the VW beetle "The Bubble". Not related to bugs at all. |

You got to admit Jeff - that is pretty funny.  Especially having been a tester, like Todd said. 
Or should I just have said - Yuk Yuk Yuk!!  
Oh, and - I didn't know that about Glen Campbell either, Bruce. It's too bad. Boy did I love that "Rhinestone Cowboy" song back when I was a kid!
