Maybe it's all that southern German beer; something in the hops predisposes one to being assimilated by the BankBorg. On the other hand, they sure do own big chunks of lusciously profitable Euromultis, who have this weird habit of actually paying *dividends* (such things have been abolished here in America, along with interest rate rises and the business cycle). Besides, the Rolfmeister is a cool dude, right?
