I don't think Claire told Marten her secret because she crushes on him. I tend to think that's a silly reason to out such a huge secret. The reason she outed herself to him is because she's seen him around the other interns and his friends enough to know he's a decent enough guy not to make a big deal about it and blab. I don't see how anyone can tie anything romantic into it at all.
Or romantic about the tie thing either...It's only intimiate if the two are into each other. Then again, I've had to have my brother tie my tie for me before. But then, I only know one way and he wanted the groom's ties in a specific way for his wedding.

I could see Claire becoming attracted to Marten after she told him, unintentionally. It is a big trust issue, after all, so I could see how that could lay groundwork for romantic feelings.
Just tossing ideas into the wind, and hoping they don't frisbee back at meh face. But still... I wonder how this arc turns out?

Perhaps this should go in the confessions thread, but...what reference?
--- End quote ---
In the comic with Hannelore passing out that was linked. "Millennium Hand and Shrimp" is a catchphrase of one of the recurring characters, essentially.

--- Quote from: ankhtahr on 21 Feb 2013, 06:58 ---Everyone has to wear tie and suit at the formal graduation ceremony at German "Gymnasium"s.
--- End quote ---
Even the girls? I've always thought that ties were perhaps the only item of clothing where men's conventional wardrobe was stupider than women's
--- End quote ---
Girls usually wear long dresses to the ceremony. They are more free in their choice of clothing.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 21 Feb 2013, 10:19 ---If you're into etymology then wearing a suit and tie at a Gymnasium is funny.
--- End quote ---
Damn, now you got me thinking about the name of our schools. Damnit, take these pictures out of my mind!
To everyone wondering what I'm talking about, a German Gymnasium is in a way the equivalent of a high school.
See here.

Don't worry Pilchard, there are a lot of Discworld books to go through. I'm working my way through them, albeit more slowly than Sir Terry is writing them. I don't really understand it either.
*looks it up*
Okay, apparently it also doubles as half a reference to They Might Be Giants, which makes it about the coolest reference ever. (Sir Terry apparently took inspiration from a song of theirs called "Particle Man" which mentioned a "millenium hand".)
Oh, and the book you're looking for is "Reaper Man".
