Do you know anybody from Bielefeld? Have you ever been to Bielefeld? Do you know anybody who has ever been to Bielefeld?


I've met someone, once, that claimed to be from Bielefeld.

I slowly stepped away. This is all too controversial for me.


In case some was wondering about this, here it is:

It’s funny that a scientist like Merkel had heard of the conspiracy (maybe on usenet itself?)


> scientist like Merkel

I'm sorry, what? Is that another joke I don't understand?


No, she actually used to be a research scientist and has a quantum chemistry PhD (you can read her thesis online)


Thanks! Guess I'm one of today's lucky 10 thousand!

She has a phd in quantum chemistry so reference to that are quite common
