Hi,

When surfing the internet i encounterd these cartoons.

Cartoon 1:
http://www.collegediksmuide.be/_TEMP/schach001.gif

And this one

Cartoon 2:
http://www.collegediksmuide.be/_TEMP/schach004.gif

But since I'm not german I don't understand them very good.

Cartoon1:
The are talking about how the situation is, and there's going to be a breaktrough. And then the pawn says: TOR?
What's that about. Tor means gate, no? Can someone explain.

(=> Particulary winking to Lost, because I know he's german...)

And then the second cartoon.
Can someone translate what the king says? I've tried the translator of worllingo, but it didn't made any sence..


Thanks...

Tor means 'Goal', I believe... :)

And Dauerschach is 'continuous chess'...

This is what happens in the first one...

They're talking about a secret birthday party for a friend, and then they are saying who they've invited and then he says hes invited George! But the party is for George! So the surprise is spoilt. :(

The second one...

He's running around looking for his banana and at the end he shouts, "Where's my banana?!?"

And I always remember what 'tor' means, because for my oral exam I had to talk about football. :beam:
