The re-translations of Moist to Feucht in the German edition and back are more hilarious than usual: see the Diskwiki article. --Old Dickens (talk) 02:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

What derivation?

There was a Ludwig von Mises, but is he somehow relevant here or is it just that they both have "von"? There were also von Hindenberg, von Neumann, von Braun... --Old Dickens (talk) 15:36, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm removing him. The Victor Lustig suggestion isn't very compelling either, out of all history's con-men, but at least there are similarities. --Old Dickens (talk) 15:06, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
