Matthias Buchinger (German: [maˈtiːas ˈbʊxɪŋɐ]; June 2, 1674 – January 17, 1740), sometimes called Matthew Buckinger in English, was a German artist, magician, calligrapher, and performer who was born without hands or feet and was 2 ft 5 in (74 cm) tall.[1] Buchinger was especially noted for his micrography, in which illustrations consist of very small text.[2][3]

English speakers trying to pronounce German words will never stop being funny to me. It's very often hard for me to get what they are talking about

In a community choir I used to sing in, we had a number of German speakers, which was very helpful when we sang Bach, Brahms, or other German choral work. The hilarious part was watching them argue amongst themselves about how to pronounce anything

Buchinger’s sex life sounds like the historical inspiration for both the sybian and the human claw machine.

I had a Bavarian tell me he wasn't German and a Franconian tell me he wasn't Bavarian. They get granular.

I’m not sure which is funnier, Eli’s attempts at German or the fact that he so confidently pronounced the very English Samuel Pepys name wrong 😅

Pamela

As a Bavarian, can confirm.
