I stopped when I figured out all the pets, I too think the German has the fish.
Other facts known about the German for me:
Drinks coffee
Lives in the green house
Smokes Prince
and of course has a fish
That was surprisingly fun, and I hope I got it right, just so I can say Im in the top 2%
EDIT: DId some googling, wont say how I fared so as not too spoil this too soon.
I may print this off and share it, I really enjoyed it, thanks for posting.
