  1. Your Highestness, I have outlined the plans for Your new castle, there’s a nice big piece of flat land down in the va..

    No, i want it …right…….. THERE!.

    ….ehm… that’s a very steep rock in the middle of nowhere, Your Masterfullnes, there’s no room for a castle, perhaps..

    IWANTITRIGHTTHERE!!!

    Yes Your incredibleness, I shall inform the mason. (bows, and backs out)

  2. For the curious, the name of the country of Liechtenstein does ultimately originate from a castle. Just not this one, that one stands in Austria.

  3. I’ve always wondered what kind of person sees a big, jagged rock with 0 flat surfaces, and thinks “Hmm, that would be the perfect spot to build my castle!”

  4. I took German classes in school for about 5 years (as third language) with the last lesson being around 10 years ago and I just now, at this very moment, realized that Lichtenstein means “bright rock”. It’s always just been a name to me, never really thought about the fact that it actually means something.
    Obviously all names come from *something* but you know what I mean.

    Plus my German is terrible.
