Eroica
Character Selector
Take this test to find out which Eroica character you are. But I can't
vouch for its accuracy, because it didn't tell me I was Klaus.
(And no, I'm not going to tell you who it did tell me I was.)
{All right, Lawrence. Humph.}

Military Equalizes Gays
In case the above link expires, I've reprinted the short article (published
in August of 2001) right here. Someone print it out and send it to Klaus.
Blood Typing Significance
In Japanese Culture
In Japan, it is believed that one's blood type influences one's personality.
This page explains the correspondence. Klaus is a type O, Dorian B. Alert
readers know that after the first couple of issues, Agents A and B switched
letters. I suspect this is because the one who became Agent A is obviously
a type A and the pudgy, curly-haired agent who became Agent B is obviously
a type B.
Eberbach Lab Tools.
And we thought we were kidding when we said "machine maniac". View an amusing ad for them here.
Eberbach,
A Sensorial Journey With Wine
If the title sounds a little odd, it's because it was likely written
by someone whose first language was German, not English. This is a page
about an abbey in Eberbach, Germany, which is a "Mecca for wine-making in
the Rheingau region".
Kunstmuseum Bonn
I suspect Dorian spends a lot of time here.

The coat of arms of the town of Eberbach, Germany.

It depicts a cross and a lion. "The lion is often named 'Wšlfchen' (little
wolf) or 'Leopard' and is sometimes shown standing on a boar."
