Were you dropped off by a stork on this day?

Congratulations not in order that I know of!

There’s still an aeronautical connection.

I’m still going to assume you’re knocked up

Nope.

It’s an aeronautical connection involving the German word for stork and today’s date.

Fieseler Fi 156 is probably the answer.

A Toast...

Here’s to the Storks that bring the pretty babies...the Crows that bring the ugly babies. And the Swallows...that don’t bring any babies!

....is the right answer.

Have a Storch.

That’s a good riddle again. How do you keep coming up with these things?

Google is very handy, plus I found the Fi 156 this time last year!

I asked Mr Google and I find that the Dutch for “stork” is “ooievaar” which is quite unexpected. I thought it would be stork, storch or something along those lines.

Yeah, this lead me to ask mr Google why it is called ‘ooievaar’, since this had no clear meaning for me. Apparently, ‘ooievaar’ comes from the germanic belief that the stork brings babies or other valuables, literally meaning carrier of treasures. The word has its roots in Proto-Germanic, with ‘ooie’ being derived from ‘auda’, which means valuables according to my source, and ‘vaar’ from ‘bara’, meaning carrier.

There you go, I bet you weren’t expecting to find out about the etymology of the dutch word for stork tonight!

Er, no!

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Swedish word, being another Germanic language.

En stork (a stork)

Storken (the stork)

Yes, the Scandinavians are unusual that way.
