The goldang Germans got nothin' to do with it.
The Germanes were a small band of nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived in the forests of Denmark and Northern Germany. They had religious rituals for everything they did, from tracking to slaughtering to canning berries. Every part of their life was relevant to every other part. Thus the word, "germane" meaning relevant or applicable. (insert cute smilie with tongue firmly in cheek).
