Today's Birthday Girl: Fran Drescher The Nanny is still hugely popular here in Germany, even though Fran is dubbed with a voice that sounds nothing like her signature squeak. Meanwhile, the Swedish Chef speaks normal, German-accented German. There's a lot the Germans are missing out on.

I told the wife I was thinking of buying a wristwatch with the phone lying nearby. Guess what I immediately started seeing social media ads for!
