The German word for this bird is "Pute". I guess it's called after the French.

The normal lead we know but still special. Is the last stable element in the PSE and there is the theory that it's actually radioactive (unstable) but the decay is so slow that we probably never see a single atom of it decaying.

I always wondered what would happen if you cite an original source of something we consider common sense now. What would nature say if you use conservation of momentum and cite Isaac Newton and the Principia Mathematica.

What if you quote something in latin. For most of science history this was completely normal.

Yes. Every now and then we get a paper claiming that they found a HTSC. It always is a big deal because they are considered the holy grail of solid state physics. Later we find that it's a mistake.

We are pretty good though. Records are in the area of −135 °C (138K, -211°F) but the phenomenon was thought to be at a few Kelvin max in the last century.

The big BUT is that it's science. Meaning that it is not granted that such a material (superconducting at ambient temperature and pressure) even exists

I would say "High Temperatur Superconductor". If they can be made cheaply, they solve our Energy Problems in almost every way. Turbines will become more effective, Transport of Energy cheap and lossless and storage crazy effective. They will also revolitionize meassurement of magnetic fields witch will have a huge impact on medicin and other fields.

Cant you get chicken cooked in it's own blood in Portugal? Why ist this your favourite?

B12 und Hefe ist ein komplexes Thema. Hefeextrakt ist ja ein Grundnahrungsmittel für viele von uns aber es enthält praktisch kein B12. Ich vermute eher, dass Bitburger hier eine alternative Gärung verwendet hat (z.B. wie es Bionade macht).

Schau dir auch Mal "das Recht auf Faulheit" von Paul Lafarge an. Insbesondere der Teil über den "Kapitalismus der sich selbst abschafft" ist eine gruselig präzise Beschreibung der Welt insbesondere der USA.

Zusammengefasst steht da dass Kapitalismus irgendwann so erfolgreich ist, dass es zu viele Reiche auf zu wenig Arme gibt und dann einfach die Konsumenten fehlen. Dadurch werden die Reichen zu einer würdelosen Dekadenz gezwungen, einfach um den Konsum zu produzieren den der Kapitalismus braucht.

And so long as men die liberty will never perish.

One Word you mentioned showed nicely what you missed here: Plain

Originally it was called an aeroplane. This could be translated with "flat thing in the air". Which is exactly as ridiculous as your other examples in German. The difference is that Germans don't mind complicated long words where English does so they just drop the part they don't like.
