...

...Wrong, it means "my part" or "my thing" - don't know where you got cutlery from..(even the crappy google translator says part)

see herzeleid.com (http://www.herzeleid.com) for specifics.

Before I get flamed, there are plenty of different translations of words in all languages, I'm just going by what the "experts" tell me.

k i'll double check with my source :P but it would fit in with the whole cuttlery on the single cover thing...

Don't you think that relates more to the whole "eating a human being" thing? Read the story from the link..

yes, it's a kind of a very weird case of cannibalism, since the one who is eaten, is willing that; and is sharing "his thing",served on porcelain, with it some good wine ... (the song says ironically "You've got to have some culture" :D ).
I feel particularly bad when i see the beginning of the clip and that i heard the sound of scissors or knife ...
but there is something so "caricatural" in the clip, that it makes me a little laugh ...
