I'd like to super-size that with side orders of Tesla, Google Glasses and Global Warming . . .
"I'm driving my Tesla, which I bought with bitcoins, wearing Google Glasses, wielding a 3D printed gun, and polluting the atmosphere by using coal produced electricity . .
Can anyone beat that . . . ?
Gast = Guest, Arbeiter = Worker . . . so Gastarbeiter = Guest-worker. If you liked playing with Lego, you'll love German.
"Lieber Kinder statt Inder!" means, Rather children instead of Indians! Which meant that the government should pay more attention to social programs encouraging working women to have children, and investing more in tech training for German students . . . instead of importing (cheap) foreign talent.
Of course, the whole plan was a ruse by companies who wanted to drive down the wages of IT workers.

Talk of creating an H-1B program in Germany a while back created a backlash phrase: "Leiber Kinder statt Inder!"
the USA may be forced to accept the idea in order to economically compete.
"Mr. President, we must not allow a mineshaft gap!"
And the idea of internet enabled toasters and refrigerators are absurd.
A lot of stuff that I read on the Internet . . . looks like it has been posted by toasters an refrigerators.
The problem with tech these days, is that too many people are jumping in because they think it is a gold mine. All they need to do, is throw a bit of money and time at it, and they will be the next Gates, Bezos or, aptly named, Zuckerberg ("pile of sugar", in German). I think there will be some very excellent ideas in there with all the trash and gimmicks. But the ratio of crap to good will be about 1000:1.
Actually, that would be Canada's prerogative. And Canada is taking steps to enhance its presence in the Arctic Circle . . . precisely because they are concerned that Russia plans to lay claim to the emerging shipping lanes there.
And Obama has never seen "Ice Station Zebra": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I...
Dogs always give you the feeling that they care about you. The wagging tail, the dumb look in the face, the tongue hanging down to the ground . . .
Forget cats, though. You could sink in quicksand if front of a cat, and it will barely give you a glance the entire time.
Perhaps you meant his son Senator 'Rand' Paul?
. . . or father John Paul II . . . ?
. . . or former Texas Senator H. Ron Peron . . . ?
. . . or even, . . . stretching it . . . , L. Ron Hubbard . . . ?
"Well, you’re obviously being totally naive of course", said the girl, "When you’ve been in marketing as long as I have, you'll know that before any new product can be developed it has to be properly researched. We’ve got to find out what people want from fire, how they relate to it, what sort of image it has for them." The crowd were tense. They were expecting something wonderful from Ford.
"Stick it up your nose," he said.
"Which is precisely the sort of thing we need to know," insisted the girl, "Do people want fire that can be fitted nasally?"
"And the wheel," said the Captain, "What about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project."
"Ah," said the marketing girl, "Well, we're having a little difficulty there."
"Difficulty?" exclaimed Ford. "Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It's the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!"
The marketing girl soured him with a look.
"Alright, Mr. Wiseguy," she said, "if you're so clever, you tell us what colour it should be."
. . . I don't know who they are.
