The Krauts are not stupidSeveral kinds of Krauts
Chapter 3
But it wasn’t true that the Krauts were stupid, which other Europeans began to notice during the vRenaissance,
2wWhen it turned out that Martin Luther was one of the very best ever at the Protestant Reformation game,
3aAnd Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type,
4bAnd Krauts like Kepler helped invent science.
5In fact, the Krauts played practically all the Renaissance sports,
6Very well,
7Except for ccomedy,
8Which they never quite understood,
9And probably explains why the Krauts didn’t go out exploring and trying to make dhistory after the Renaissance,
10Like eeverybody else,
11But started arguing a lot with each other about a bunch of very important Kraut questions,
12Like who should be in charge of everything,
13Which they couldn’t quite agree about,
14fAnd so they decided not to be a nation at all,
15But a bunch of quarrelsome Krauts instead.
