The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Do they know who stole it? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I made the same pun - I'm starting to worry :P
Basically the next one to steal it would be me, I freaking love it.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of Marzipan. Actually I avoid it.
But come to Germany and visit the city of Lübeck. You just cannot avoid marzipan here.
cheers,

Good. I'll take note - I'm pretty near to southern German border by the way, and someday I'll take a proper vacation in Germany.

It will be the marzipan who'll be trying to avoid me. 
Also most of the north european sweets are rich in gingerbread and cinnamon, two other addictions of mine.

Except the selves all made of Lubeck marzipan[^]...
(I was there, but found marzipan far too sweet for me)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The concept of "too sweet" is new to me. What does it mean?  (seriously though, I have a tolerance to sweetness far higher than the average).

Glad you found your Marzipan again but I can't think who stole it.

I HATE marzipan and so does my German wife.

There has been lots of discussion about CVs, covering letters, interview questions.
But what happens if it all goes well, how do you get out of where you currently are?
How do you go about resigning?
What should a resignation letter contain, is it just a piece of paper for HR to file or does it serve any actual purpose?
Is "Dear boss, I'm off x weeks from today, love Chris*" enough or should you pad a little?
*I'd use your own name, but you get the idea.

I plan to do that first thing in the new year. I have looked up a short template which is only a few lines of text, but also mentions the required legal stuff.

I would say that a resignation letter should contain as little as possible. Specifically:
- Don't give reasons for leaving
- Don't make it personal
- Don't burn bridges
Basically, you never know when you might run across your former employer, so it's best to keep things civil.
The resignation letter should:
- Give the last date you will be present (don't forget to check your employment contract for any mandatory notification time)
- Assure cooperation in a smooth handover before that date
The resignation letter may:
- Indicate availability for consultation after your last day of employment (for a fee)
- Mention that it was a pleasure to work with them
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

This is the most sane, common sense approach to an HR requirement that I've ever seen.
It makes me wonder how effective the advice is, though, since I don't see the words "in triplicate" anywhere in the text 
|

You will be asked why you are leaving though, so just say its to 'take on new challenges'. Its generic enough that it doesn't say much, and leaves you in the clear looking like a progressive and adventurous person.

You may give a reason for leaving, but then again you don't have to be too specific or critical. Your employer may well ask you anyway, especially if your resignation is unexpected. So, best make sure you have your reason for leaving well rehearsed.
