Sorry, thats wrong. Geschlecht means gender and cannot be translated as sex (like your sex can be used both ways). You could use Verkehr (traffic) which would have a double meaning in German (sex & traffic). And we put the nine before the sixty (doesnt make anysense, but at least our number system is not as ****ed up as the french one) So Sixty-nine becomes Neun-Sechszig (Nine-Sixty). The position is called the same though (69).

So after believing all these years that "pimmel kopf" means "dick head"......that is not the case

Japanese gameshows are the best. Since you guys seem to be enjoying that, watch this one. I wish our reality shows were like this:

People in the classroom have to sit and NOT LAUGH. Whoever LAUGHS gets a good spankn'
