Something funny about the first Pfeilstorch being found near Klutz. Sounds Monty Python-ish.




I thought of the discworld.

I think the german names of Überwald are not just german sounding, but the author really meant it: A Klotz is a brick or block.

I haven't read Carpe Jugulum for years, but the slow/dim/clumsy meaning of Klotz has been adopted into (American) English as "klutz".
