A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).
The term hamburger originally derives from the German city of Hamburg, Germany's second largest city, from where many emigrated to America. In high German, "Burg" means "castle", or king's abode; earlier also city/town, and is a widespread component of city names. "Burger" describes someone coming from that castle or town, (compare London -> Londoner), hence Hamburger can be a descriptive noun in German, referring to something from Hamburg. Similarly, frankfurter and wiener, names for other meat-based foods, are also used in German as descriptive nouns for people or things from the cities of Frankfurt and Wien (Vienna), respectively. The term "burger" is associated with many different types of sandwiches similar to a hamburger.
@Claude: I'm angry because there's little to be happy about in life. Being nice sucks. People never do anything good unless it's for their own achievement, and I firmly believe this.

You should try deluding yourself, works well enough for the rest of us.
@cancerdancer: I'm not a whiny bitch, I'm a friendly person and love all my friends as if they were family. It's just a shame that most people in this world aren't nice people. Can you deny that?
@Claude: Errr...thanks for saying you love me I guess...even though you're 43 :? And I've always been like this. Angry anger anger, you know, the usual. I actually think I'm a lot nicer now than I was before.
