The 6 Graffiti

Written by Ben on June 23, 2006 | 2 Comments

When one walks around parts of Berlin one may find the number 6 sprayed onto some piece of old wall. Our guide had wondered why she kept on seeing this graffiti around Berlin, and not some other piece of graffiti. Then she actually met the graffiti artist. She asked why he kept on spraying 6 all over the place– what meaning does the number 6 have, why not 5 or 7?

His answer, in mixed English-German: “I’m spreading six all over Berlin.”

Think about how six is pronounced in German…

As is how this story goes.
