More correctly, it’s the “Colonel Bogey March”.

Perhaps you don’t really understand the dative case.
“I gave the pen of my aunt to my uncle”
can be rewritten as
“I gave my uncle my aunt’s pen”.
In the first sentence, “my uncle” is the object of a proposition. In the second, it’s the indirect object.
Long ago, I could translate both phrases into Latin, but I have forgotten much of it.
probably
avunculo meo abamitae meae calamum dedi

The dative is also used in German instruction, though they may call it the Wemfall.
In any case, “reductio ad absurdum” is that original phrase, not “reductio ad absurdo”.

I’ve known for a while Capp had his mind in the gutter. It’s still a bit of a revelation to learn which gutter.

I see the cock n ball(s) fest continues!
Only 10 more posts to reach 100 posts on the subject of Hitler’s tiny junk.
I feel I will not be disappointed in BoingBoing in this regard.
You can do it!
3 days left I am sure we can do it. Or something.

Hey, I’m doing my bit. Up thread I basically duplicated a post by @kupfernigk, then when they confirmed my suspicions and pointed out they’d already said the same thing, I replied to laud their original post. That’s three completely superfluous posts generated by my lack of ability to read, plus this one explaining it. At this rate, we’ll be at 100 in no time.
(And congrats to @anon61221983 for being the most frequent poster in this thread so far)
We can do this!

Well, shouldn’t a historian be around to keep things on track… like trying to figure out why lay people are so into Hitler’s junk!

I really think that it’s just about being obsessed with junk. People want to say, “Hitler most have killed all those people because of his small penis.” But if Einstein had a micropenis people would say, “Einstein was probably motivated to do great things to make up for his small penis.” And if Neville Chamberlain had a small penis people would say, “He probably appeased Hitler because he lacked confidence due to his small penis.”
The penis is destiny. The fact that men with penises of approximately average size also do things within the entire spectrum of human accomplishment is irrelevant.
As for being the more frequent commenter, it just seems inevitable that a person who is confounded by the fact of a topic’s existence is the one who will say the most about it. I’m trying to catch up (though I suppose I can’t catch up by replying to you).
