Ready For Insanity - The 3rd Modern Talking Obsession Test

Third in the series, points 201-300 on signs you're obsessed with Modern Talking. Last updated: 4 September 2000, and I haven't updated spelling and grammar mistakes since then. Again, this is a fairly insane list, mainly played for laughs, and no, I didn't get all points back then. :P Like the previous ones, a lot of things are obscure references to song lyrics, music videos, pictures and interviews.

The passport thing I actually remember something about: I have a vague recollection of someone having a scanned in copy of Dieter's passport on his computer, which he had received from someone who used to work at an airport or something like that. That was a bit weird and a half!

Point 95 is what first attracted me to MT, aside from the songs themselves and point 97 is so retro it's cute. :)
