I can't think about Nietzsche (dang, that is hard to spell!) anymore without thinking about the movie where the woman was tortured (as a prisoner of war in another country) by the guy that loved to quote Nietzsche. She had never seen his face, but remembered his voice. Then by a twist of fate, her torturer, now defected to America, gave her husband a ride home when his car broke down. She recognized his voice, and the Nietzsche quotes, and proceeded to tie him up and interogate him. In the end she took him to a cliff to push him off, but didn't. However, in all her interogation of him, she shattered the self image he held that he too was a victim of circumstance during that terrible time, and realized that he enjoyed the torture. Afraid of the beast inside himself, he jumped off the cliff.

Anyone remember the name of that movie?

Dang - if nothing else, that's a good synopsis! Too bad I don't know the name of the movie for you....

Somehow "Happy" and "Netzshe" in the same sentence seems like an oxymoron.

I'm going with "Death and the Maiden," which is pretty good since I didn't see it. But it looked good.

It is not well known fact, but that thing under his nose is not actually a moustache.

Wow! I've had the same sig line(a very round about nod to the Birthday boy himself) for an entire year:D

The first is probably closest to the appropriate German pronounciation, but I think the second is perfectly acceptable in our native tongue. The third is just out.
