Kleeb, you're always playing up your Irish and Slovene heritage and then trash talking on the Vaterland. I've had about enough ;-)

23. Kaiser = Caesar in Deutsch
Which tradition goes back to the eighth and ninth centuries and the Holy Roman Emperors, who adopted the title and claimed continuance of the authority of Rome. (Oh, and czar or tsar has the same etymology, only this time the connection is more Byzantine than Roman.)
