The Döner inventor is alive and well.
so the fpp is kinda baseless. Maybe it could just be altered so that we can go on talking about delicious kebab some more?

It doesn't matter if rumors on the front page aren't true.

Yeah, I really think the mods should start adding (maybe in leetle text) updates/corrections when something is blatantly and factually wrong.

Okay, since somebody still died, it would be awesome to note the error and change the fpp into a look-see at what this other person did if anything can be found. Somebody still died, and their life surely has some things worth noting or learning from.

In other news, the guy who just a few minutes ago invented a sandwich made from pastrami, emmentaler, banana peppers and kalamata olive tapenade, toasted open-faced on fresh ciabatta bread, is also okay.
He has a little heartburn, though.

Funny Tatort story: my wife is german and my german is wretched. Whenever we go to visit her parents, we inevitably wind up in front of the TV watching Tatort. I can always just barely follow the plot, but I can also usually figure out who the killer was right away. Why? Because the show adheres so closely to the Law&Order, double-back plot structure that it's ridiculous. So the first semi-guilty looking character will have done it. Then there'll be a mid-show phase to throw you off the scent. Then the dramatic return & the takedown. Cue cheesy music.
I resent being forced to watch bad German Krimi and I retaliate by announcing the killer as soon as I figure it out. I've never told them how I do it and it never fails to piss them all off.
Viel Spaß.

As far as I can tell he seems to have put different toppings on a gyro and gotten credit for that.

I propose that if a posted link proves to be false but it is believed that the discussion is worth keeping that something be done to make it clear in the original post that the link is false.
