 Germany, home of the (2nd -ed) best beers, Jagermeister and fine sausages - and now also home to the world's first iPod-integrating Lederhosen.

That's right. The iPod ecosystem just grew that little bit larger with Lodenfrey's introduction of leather Lederhosen integrating a secret iPod pocket and built-in controls for the music player, situated down the wearer's left leg.

The new garment was introduced at IFA 2007, alongside a Bavarian hunting jacket that's also equipped with iPod controls.

The best beers are from Belgium!

 That's debatable, but I do like Belgian beers, particularly the wide Trappist selection.

Belgium has one of the widest selections of beers: more than 800 -- not counting microbrews.

Some of the best beers are: Duvel, Kwak, Stella, McChouffe, Leffe 9°, Triple Karmeliet...

did you really just put stella in there?  oy.

 Yeah but what about Kriek? That's an acquired but a passionate taste. And the white beer (yummy)...

Quote: "leather Lederhosen" :unquote

Since German Leder IS Leather in English... why call it leather Lederhosen ?! Makes no sense to me...

It's just like "Manos:Hands of Fate" - Manos = Hands in Spanish.

Kinda like an ATM Machine, right?

You know where they'd sell a zillion of these? KW Oktoberfest in Canada. Sell 'em year round in Hans Haus, the Oktoberfest shop, the only place in the world where you'll see LINEUPS of 19-year-old iPod-toting university kids buying lederhosen and bavarian-style hats in preparation for our annual week-long celebration of public drunkenness. Seriously.

It's funny - most people that are not familiar with German customs and stuff think the Lederhosn is THE object that stands for Germany. Actually it's an very Bavarian thing and it's quiet funny to watch other people not from Bavaria in Lederhosen.^^

greets from germany
