carneval 

Carneval is a time in February during which Germans go crazy and dress up as the weirdest person/thing/animal,
e.g. as a garbage bag.

No one really knows anymore why someone started that custom but it has certainly been an important tradition for many years.

The most important places you have to visit during the three days (Rosenmontag to Aschermittwoch) are Cologne, Düsseldorf and probably the whole region in the West of Germany.

Many people who participate in carneval for the first time are either scared by these insane Germans or come to the conclusion that the only way to survive it - withouth a trauma - is to get drunk.
During carneval people dress up as telephone booths, living bananas, hippies, robots, Jack Sparrow, pumpkins, pensioners, flags.

winter carnival

Michigan Technological University is located at the top of the UP in the Keweenaw peninsula. The student population is only 26% women, and the winter is so grueling (up to 360 inches of snow) that most people begin having mental breakdowns around mid february.

To make the students feel better about their lives at MTU, the school used a ploy developed by the psychology department, and created a Four night long drinking festival. The end result was that students hangovers were so horrible by the end of the festival that they forgot all about how much winter sucked and were able to make it to spring sanity intact.

do not attempt carnival if you are pregnant, have liver disease, or plan on living past 50.

Carnevil was a man who was famous for being the first person to be called Carnbarn.

The reason was that he was a 300 pound Momma's boy who lived in his mom's basement well over the age of 30 and had the screen name Carnevil. His mom kept mistaking the "evil" part of his name for "barn" and called him Carnbarn one day while he was in a voice chat with his friends.
Carnevil: Mom! I told you, my name is Carn "Evil" not Carn "Barn"!
Carnevil's Friends: Hey Carnbarn, did your mom make you some cookies?

trucker's tan

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
