gcreptile 10,213 Posted November 9, 2015 I wonder if Schmidt is still aware of the idea that dying today would be of historic importance, since November 9th, is Germany's "fateful date": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_9_in_German_history Also, the president of the german football association resigned today because of the possible bribery scandal regarding the award of the 2006 World Cup.

Did anyone permit his personal physician to publicly speculate when he'd die? Isn't there any legislation in Germany preventing doctors from... divulging medical secrets? Or at least the Hippocratic Oath? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 10, 2015 I think the Schmidt will hit the fan in the next 3-4 days but since all those realistic dates are taken, I will go with February 29th, 2016 so our German cousins only have to remember him once every four years.
