"Strange game. The only winning move is to pause the play."
The thing I hate about the macros like the Texas German dialect and the skeleton in the trunk is that they're just enough to be interesting, but not nearly enough to be informative, and sometimes not 100% true as presented. However, there's usually enough data in them to find something with actual information through Google. For instance, Wikipedia has a page on Texas German, but unlike the image above, it notes that the dialect is only spoken by a number of elderly persons thanks to hostility to anything German during the world wars, and linguists are scrambling to preserve as much of it as possible before the last of them die. And the mystery of the skeleton was solved years ago.
