In my German exam today, there was a bit where we had to fill in blanks in a dialogue. Tom and Tony were talking about how Tony made out with this guy on vacation.
About halfway through the exam, my teacher explained that Tony's actually a girl and that the German department just chose not to say anything about it in the exam as that might be seen as homophobic. Apropos of nothing, as far as I know.
Let's all laugh at this case of mistaken gender and ignore how badly I did on that math exam.
We didn't really go into it, as we were still taking the test and talking during a test is...ill-advised.
The dialogue was apparently taken from a story or novel or something that's pretty famous in Germany. And the notable thing is that, at the end of the selection, there's a bit where Tony's all like "no, you can't tell my father about how I kissed that boy", which would influence one to think that he's in the closet. The actual reason is that the boy was a communist.

that's pretty harsh on people who already got to that part and answered wrongly before they decided to clarify things

Hi everypony
I spent most of the morning reading old Ohio ghost stories and urban legends online in hopes of getting inspiration for my writing

I still find it interesting that American English tend to refer to a location as being "on" a street, while British English (and probably other Commonwealth English, though I haven't encountered it enough to know) tends to refer to locations as "in" a street.
"I live on Chamberlain Street", "He lives in Oxford Street", etc.
i would say 'He lives on Oxford Street', and i'd be surprised to hear a Brit say 'He lives in Oxford Street'. 'In Oxford', sure, but not 'In Oxford Street'.
that might be a dialectal thing, not sure, but i always assumed it was standard for the UK
Ah, I stand corrected.
I'd heard the "in" construction used a few times before and I guess I just assumed it was standard Commonwealth English.

The gender doesn't really change the answers, which is why they didn't specify this in the first place.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
I tried scoring in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on normal mode and disappointed myself many times. I think my record is still like 120 million or something pitiful like that.

I'm waiting until Dark Souls goes on sale because that is when Pyridrym wants to play it (I will probably buy her a copy :3 ) and then we will play concurrently.

Seems like most ghost stories in this part of the country fall into one of three generic categories:
There's an abandoned mansion. Someone lived there and snapped and killed their whole family and now you can see their ghosts in the windows at night. Spooky!
There's a rural road (or railroad track) where someone died in a car accident (or got hit by a train). Now you can see mysterious lights at night. Spooky!
There's a cemetery and it has a statue in it that's kinda creepy. If you touch it, you'll feel weird. Spooky!
Not a lot to work with there, writing-wise, but I guess that's where the "making things up" aspect of writing comes in

Admittedly I only looked at one or two sites before I had to leave...and I kept getting distracted looking at the various places mentioned on Google Maps. >_>

i don't understand, is Tony a girl's name in Germany?

I should do research before I ramble about stuff

Like by playing Dark Souls for instance >o>
Last year they had it on sale for $7.99 which is insane.
This is one of like six metal songs I sorta enjoy. Speaking of which, I haven't thought about Bizenghast since I was like 14.
Googling "lives in * street" turns up a bunch of British publications, so you're clearly not wrong
it's not what i'd say or what i'm used to hearing, though
no cryptids or local Native American legends?

It's honestly more like a fighting game in some ways.
I mean, I don't think they are (they're certainly not lorewise) but I don't know what KH's mechanics are like.
