GERMAN GIANT CHRISTOPH FILDEBRANDT COMPETES |
German Championships in Berlin, the final of the 00m freestyle men
with Christoph Fildebrandt, Markus Deibler, Benjamin Strong, Paul
Biedermann, Marco di Carli, Dimitri Colupaev, Björn Hornikel,
Steffen Deibler, Maximilian and Oswald Matthias Lindenbauer, all of
whom are total hotties. Of course it is all in German, a
language I spent a lot of money and time to learn in college. How
much of it can I translate for you? NOTHING! What a waste of
effort I put into those dumb college courses. Four years of college
German and all I can remember to say is "Where is the restroom?"
