"Die Mensch-Maschine" is German for "the man-machine" (like robot).
It's also English for "Die, menschmaschine!":cross:

No, it is German in origin. That wikipedia reference is looking at it from an American perspective. The word Mensch means "man" (as in mankind) in German. The Yiddish language was a result of Jews moving to German speaking territories. The German language came before the Yiddish language and the word Mensch was in the German language before the Jews moved into German-speaking territory. Jews took the German word Mensch and made it an idiom, which has carried over into Jewish-American culture. The word Mensch is a very common German word, like Scheisse!

My bad! I got all jacked up there over my own last name (which is GERMAN by the way!). Please continue...
Danke Schoen (my wife is mostly German).

Thanks. Nothing like a four-hour drive through upstate NY with fog and rain. Yahoooo. I'll be back later I'm sure.

Be careful driving Ed. I'd hate to see a Sox fan in danger. Seriously though, be careful. But mostly stay classy...

Well, I'm sorry because that was my doing. I had no idea into the origin of "mensch" so I went with what Google gave me. 100% my bad, please take no offense.
Thanks Ben. I made it about 30 minutes ago. Settling in for some work, cruising here and then off to the Carrier Dome for some football.
The best part? I have to get to Hartford by 11:30 am tomorrow for hoops practice. I am experiencing the weekend from hell, made worse by the fact I haven't had a beer since Wednesday.
And Ben, stop changing your avatar. I'm easily confused.

YES! I think the member actually only has 3 o's, so he's not a true MST3K fan!
Well then, it appears that I indeed am not as big a nerd as you.
