(According to the rules you once framed, I also forgot the teasing, didn't I? Well, I think I need some coaching for that.)
Hint #2: It was something that is usually anyway needed for a baptizing ceremony. |

RE: Stump the German
Very close, holy water is correct, but of very special origin. So, where from? (Would that be a German point if you nailed it?)

Try this -"Looks like the spaetzle brained Non Germans are having some trouble. That can only mean it's time for Hint #....) (Richter's German. If he's right - take the point. Germans can't stump other Germans.) "There are few subjects that ignite more casual, uninformed bigotry and condescension from elites in this nation more than Dixie - Jonah Goldberg" |

RE: Stump the German
Mr. Richter has not entirely solved it yet. The main point is still missing. As for the teasig - I don't want to get the sack...
Hint #3: Mary herself had received the holy water from somewhere on the other side of the Atlantic. |

RE: Stump the German
Brilliant, Laurie, the gift was a bottle of Jordan water! Mary mentioned it in a letter she wrote to her grandnephew Edward Lewis Baker Jr. from Pau on June 22, 1870.
So the score is 1:1. |

RE: Stump the German
Gene - You definitely got my point!
BTW: I may have dreamed this, but for some reason I think I read that the new Prince George was baptized with water from the River Jordan??? |

RE: Stump the German
What are you going to do on June 26, 2014, at noon EST? Watching the soccer world cup game, I hope! Even if the US team stumps the Germans and wins (like they beat us 4:3 last June, our B-team more precisely) I'll call it partly a German victory due to the great coach you have (we miss him). 2013 has been the most successful year in US soccer history, hasn't it? I would consider this a great deal "Klinsi's" achievement. (Forgive me this comment, like most Germans I'm not patriotic unnless it comes to soccer!)
PS: I've often unsuccessfully attempted to understand baseball rules, I admire anyone who does. With soccer, it's quite simple: get the round thing in the square thing... |

RE: Stump the German
1.) Which CW general named his eldest son "Lincoln"?
2.) There was another general who named his son "Lincoln", but he denied an offer to take over a command. You will stump the German if you name him! Note: According to my source, these were the only ones. I will double-check your guesses, but this was even for one of the sought-after quite difficult. Thus for replies goes AFAIK (and if you are very sure about another one I'll be willing to believe you). |
