Impalas aren't what you'd call very common even in the US. It's sort of a sub-brand of Chevy that is only one model car.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Impala

And it's pronounced differently (im-PAW-la vs im-PALE-r) but since the joke is in text instead of spoken it works IMO. 

Regardless, "impale" wasn't in my vocabulary, so I didn't know what to think of the image in question.

Not only that, but I doubt that anyone would make the connection who didn't also know about the historical/legendary title referred to.

My apologies then, I thought you were being deliberatly dense.

@Final-Fan. I was pronouncing it as "im-paa-la" (which is how the name of the animal is pronounced, at least here in Britain)

Also I do find it a little odd that there is only a single model of Impala car when it has it's own badge... I wonder what was wrong with calling it a Chevrolet Impala.

I know the history (after all, it was his nickname for what he did) and the fact that in spanish "impaler" is "empalador", quite similar, made is easier to understand.

@Rol_ Just for curiosity, how is "impaler" in german? Is it that different that you didn't recognize or guess the word?

it's "Vlad, der Pfähler" in german



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Have you ever had the feeling that sometimes this explains certain fossils?

Because I do.
