I don't really see the point? =A0It's just a bunch of "t= he house"/"der
Haus", which is like "Well, *yeah*?".

My response may be colored by the fact that the first image I
clicked through to was
http://capl.washjeff.edu/browser= esults.php?langID=3D2&catID=3D20&subCatID=3D95
, which just offends me (I own a copy of the
http://www.signwr= iting.org/ book)
