That middle armor seems kind of wide; was Tony supposed to dislocate his shoulders to get his arms in?
Hey, it worked for Bob Heironimus in that bigfoot suit!

Being Swedish, I didn’t understand the word trek. What the hell was that? So I went with Star Wars, and never looked back ...... no, that’s not how it happened. In fact, I looked up trek in a dictionary. And when I saw what it was, I decided I would never watch something with a stupid name like that! •• Somehow I'm surprised a Swede would not recognize a Dutch word.

Swedish is part of the Northern Germanic language group, while Dutch is Western Germanic, which makes it the closest living relative of English.
I got a Masters Degree in this stuff. I need to take every chance I can get to talk about it.

I just tried out an online translator (http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_services/worldlingo_t ranslator.html) and according to it, the Swedish word for TREK is........TREK.

a Dutch word.
This is actually the first time I've learned even one Dutch word. =)

I just tried out an online translator (http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_services/
worldlingo_translator.html) and according to it, the
Swedish word for TREK is........TREK.
”Trek” isn't in Worldlingo's dictionary, so it doesn't translate it. It’s not a word in Swedish.

Holland & Sweden = different languages & countries. Thanks.•• USA and Mexico = different languages and countries, yet I can understand a whole lot of Spanish words. So here's an old English word for you: fuck off.

I do too, but I have no idea what the Spanish word for Trek is. I do know the German word though. Now I'm all set for that flood of German immigrants about to invade northern Indiana.

English and Spanish are my favorite languages. I learned them both at the same once.
