Haven't seen it for a long time, I guess I'll google for the German
synced graffiti scene and watch it on YouTube later. It wasn't that much
fun at school as it is to watch this scene, OTOH I draw many pictures
during Latin lessons, because the lessons where not that interesting. We
read Homer, the ancient Greek epic poet, not the one from Springfield
next to Shelbyville, in Latin. At that time Homer Simpson wasn't born,
Itchy and Scratch were not born, but we watched a lot of Tom and Jerry
at that time :D.
