    Please, lie down on the couch and tell me: How does this news make you feel? Do you have an opinion? Do you often mistake a bulletin board for a copynewswebsite site?

    Adolf doesn't have much luck. Last time he was in Berlin, he managed to blow his head off as well.:p

    Why would anyone want to go to a wax museum anyway?

    'Hey, look at me standing beside a wax replica of Michael Jackson. It's almost real. Awesome'.

    German police said they arrested the 41-year-old man. He was the second visitor to enter the museum, employee Stephan Koch said

    quite a few it seems based on the fact that madame tussauds have now grown from their london base to Amsterdam, Las Vegas, New York City, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Washington DC and now Berlin.

    Remember that guy they had to ban from Madame Tussauds for dressing up as celebrities, standing still and then shouting at people when they leaned in close to look at him? Would've been funny if it had been him and this guy had tried to rip his head off.

    I was watching Schindler's List last night. Eerie coincidence? I think not.

    Maybe call it "Mc Madame Tussauds". It wouldn't take much to set up a franchise, the hardest part is making the first model, once this is done they can mass produce them from the mould. They would have expected sabotage on Hitler, reason why he was kept at a distance behind a desk. They can make up another Hitler by recycling the old one.

    Ah come one now, if people weren't allowed to duplicate everything they've read on Fark to AH, we'd only be left with the casual racism and rants against the judiciary.
