That was Obelix!
Asterix, Obelix - both highly suspect: buff shirtless men with big moustaches, hanging out together all the time, neither of them married - is anyone else thinking that this sort of thing was what

@ Iz good theory
In german "Kaputt" means broken. I think I found one of the rare hidden truths in my bloody native bloody language..
maybe you don't know that in Italy who wants to study german need to study latin
another thing....for you Iz
Caput means head or ...eh... capital (city) (see what you Eengleesh did there?), you illiterates.
And 6 years of latin makes for a good base to start this kind of threads indeed
Never regretted it, helps me every day!

I'll grant that their food is better, never liked Greek grub.
Next time you take a dump, think about the Romans, dear...

Yes, but apart from medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health what did the Romans ever do for us?
