Re: Schalke 04

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@fgn.net>]

Juergen,

Just to let everyone know, A. sp. Schalke 04 was introduced in the April '02
issue of DATZ. It was meant to be an April Fool's Day joke. They tend to put an
April Fool's Day joke article in every April issue. They digitally changed the
colors of a female apisto to show blue bars on a white body - Blue & White, the
colors of the Schalke 04 football (soccer) club. I mentioned Koslowski because
his favorite team lost to Schalke in the latest championship games & it upset
him greatly. Max & I knew this, so I was joking with him.
