The importance of having umlauts

March 23rd, 2007

Ben Towle brings up the significance of umlauts in this post:

Note that two of the four bands that immediately come to mind when considering Ironhead have umlauts in their names–that’s a sign of quality, folks.

In an email he mentioned that someone should do a study on the importance of umlauts in heavy metal band names. On a whim I checked Wikipedia, and hit gold.

Just the umpteen-millionth reason to love the intarweb.
