Dear DMC

You can’t believe everything on the Internet.

Wikipedia wrongly reported that Germany’s minister for economic affairs is Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jakob Philipp Wilhelm Franz Joseph Sylvester Feiherr von und zu Guttenberg.

This week’s Spectator puts the record straight.  As any fule no, the man’s name is actually Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jakob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Feiherr von und zu Guttenberg.

(Some wag added “Wilhelm”, probably for comic effect.)
