Many of my jewish friends have german-sounding last name. Why there is such tendency? When did it start?

Has anyone noticed that in the first book (Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging) and in the fifth book (Away Laughing on a Fast Camel) that Georgia is sent the almost EXACT same letter (first one from her dad and then one from Robbie (i.e. the Sex God))?? Why do you think louise rennison did that? Is there something weird about New Zealand (like with like hypnotic powers?? sounds dumb... i know but its hard not to think it!)? Give me your opinion!

if you attend an international student festival with hot topics on politics, economics and cultural issues, what do you expect to benefit from it. and more importantly, how do you want to use your experiences from it?

In "Pride and Prejudice," the Bennets' house and property is "entailed." Everyone understands that Mr. Collins will inherit upon Mr. Bennet's death. Who would have entailed this property? Why wouldn't it pass to the oldest son of Mr. Bennet's oldest daughter, who in this case would be Jane's oldest son? Thanks for any information.

I have never been good in art, though I love looking at it. I've always been amazed by people with the artistic talent. What does it feel like to be artisitc? How does it feel to pick up that brush/pencil/color pencil/pen/artistic instrument and start drawing on paper? Does your whole world shut out and for that time everything is just the drawing? What is it like to be an artist?

It's just pure fun!
I saw an old article in Forbes magazines about their top 15 richest fictional characters, with people such as Bruce Wayne, Willy Wonka and Jay Gastby. So I was wondering "what is the net worth of the Malfoys from Harry Potter series?"
It could be in Galleons, US dollars or British pounds.
