Does anyone know why so many personals in the LRB are in German (and a couple of issues ago they all were)? Is this some kind of in-joke, and are they as funny as the English ones?
"I had the quickest mind in the country, now I can't even find my pen. Wait -- here it is! Pens and offers of sex please to a pensioner professor."
"More Grand Moff Tarkin than Darth Vader, not nefarious enough, but working on it. M, 35, would like to find F up to 40 with whom I can pronounce e-ve-ry syl-la-ble as we sail through outer space on gondolas. Look for me in my Deathstar for a couple of canapés, frightening silence, and the perfect demeanor."
"Mimi, 64, would like to meet a man whose name consists only of Roman-numeral letters. You should moreover possess a degree in higher mathematics and be very well endowed."
