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).

Rainmaker, as a history teacher, I liked your post very much.

From the latin "germanus", meaning of the same race. [/B][/QUOTE]

Wow, I wasn't as far off as I thought. Have you ever played the dictionary game where you choose some weird word and copy the dictionary definition, and then read the word out loud, and everyone makes up a definition, and then you read all the definitions, and everyone chooses the one they think might be correct? I bet you'd be great at that!
