What is it with Germans and their willingness for nudity? Seriously now. While we're the first to admit that we're not the most open as a nation with our bodies as some mainland Europeans, the words naked and German occur all too frequently. And it's not always good.

This time, it's the mystery of how a German man became trapped in a narrow chimney in Berlin, which comes in two parts. One: Why were you 10 metres down a chimney in the first place? When has that ever been a good idea for anyone? And two: Naked? What, were you worried about getting your duds all sooted up? There is no sense to be made from this. Now there's a happy ending to all of this, but not without some drama first. They tried hoisting him out with a rope and sling, but the man couldn't hold on so they had to go through the second floor wall of the building to get him, and then he lost consciousness. Probably because he was morto (in reality though it was probably pneumonia, what with all the rampant nudity). The man is safe in hospital now, but we've yet to hear any reasons behind his adventures.
