Mr Beavers
I tried to find this Dr. Andreas Stang in the University of Essen, their search
engine responded with "HABE NICHTS GEFUNDEN in gesamthochshule Essen".
That means; we can´t find no Dr Stang in our
school.......................................................
So who is this mysterious man with his silly report.
