All the game threads. (It's only teenage wasteland.)

The Spanish canary island of La Palma is considered the steepest island in the world. It is certainly very steep, but the methodology by which this conclusion was reached is unknown to me.

Since nobody got it, the answer to my question a few posts ago is Kitai-Gorod, Chinatown. Which is odd, because there is nothing particularly Chinese about it.

Shucks, I didn't notice it was actually a question you wanted us to answer. For an old geography quiz buff, that would have been fun.

Well OK, I thought this was a thread where we present trivia, instead of a quiz.

But here goes: A successful German sports magazine derives its title from a proverbial sentence uttered by a great German sports coach. What is the title of the magazine, who was the coach, and to whom did he say what?

(Translations are welcome, of course)

I am afraid the option to answer in translation is not helping me very much :(
