Application fun, part 2

Sometimes life rewards your work in rather obscure ways. To me hours of desperate internet browsing for the perfect masters degree did not lead to the desired succes, however they treated me with the following pearl: 'please do not include leaves with double print!' ...

Hmm.. but if I have leaves with single print, do I have to send the tree as well?? Sometimes these application requirements really leave you 'nothing to hope for'.

Ironically, the beautiful phrase could be found on the application page of a so-called bavarian 'elite graduate program' where some 5 lines afterwards very good english knowledge was a crucial feature of the successful applicant... (maybe for correcting the web pages? sometimes I'm tempted to write an email but then - I still make enough mistakes myself :)

closing with Bastian Sick commenting on the bavarian homepage www.bayern-international.de, (spoken bayern minus international): what will remain of bavaria if you subtract international?
