In that case, and in the spirit of friendship, I feel it incumbent upon me to suggest that you might profitably expend a portion of your finances on a console which is called a "Nintendo Gamecube", and a video game entitled "Super Mario Sunshine".

You may also want to consider the possible benefits of a small supplementary outlay, spent in the procurement of an item which is known colloquially as a "blunt", but which you will know as "a not-inconsiderable marijuana cigarillo".

Finally, I advise that you obtain a digital compact disc recording of an album by a popular musical act such as Massive Attack, Portishead or Bj�rk.

These items will be of remarkable use to you should you decide to accept my advice to you; which, to come to the finality of my monologue, is that you "chill out".

Besides the abscense of the required 'umlaut', the term �bermensh is, to my knowledge, also associated with Hittlers perception of what he called the, supposedly superior, "arian race" (white skin, blond hair, blue eyes).

Personally I don't think anyone is more or less entitled to their spot on this world (which doesn't nessecarily mean I approve of the way they exercise that right), and if there's one thing that constitutes as inferior, it's a superior attitude.

On an on-topic note; "Whatever-his-name-is-at-present" is someone who hopefully will stick around long enough, to draw the nessecary conclusions, from the sheer overabundance of empirical evidence, provided by the utter lack of agreement he encounters here.

If you want to be technical, "�bermensh" is just German for "superman." (Or, to be even more technical, "overman.")

Well, superman works because German tends to be very contextual. The same word in one sentence, in this case the prefix "�ber" could have a different meaning in the next line, but it's still spelled the same. If you've ever heard German poetry, a direct translation makes little to no sense, but once put into context, it could mean a slew of things.

Uber is just one word that means over, above and super.

Oben (from what I know, it's used when "a noun that is oben something") also means above. Used in different context, but same meaning.

Course my German isn't up to par

Now if our good 'ole buddy treb ever needs a longer name, he should use physical manifestation of the absolute idea.

I think you mean "Physicalist manifestationism of the absolutisticated idea-mentation"
