Well, it was difficult trying to decide what to post on the very first Inlanderextremismus entry!
Should it be the police dogs with shoes? The government's guide to becoming German? Gay penguins? The three-page letter threatening to deport my cat? Great topics all, and eventually they will be shared (watchout, Tieramt!).
But something came up very recently and it was too good to be true.
Prosecutors are actually targeting American academics who have been recruited into top positions at institutes (e.g. Max Planck). Turns out, those silly Ph.D.'s don't have doctorates after all! Not, at least, according to a Nazi-era law that only recogizes European doctorates. (Although the Nazis didn't recognize those silly Jewish Europeans' Ph.D.s, either. Oops!)
To read more silly details, just google Non-European PhDs, or follow the yellow brick road.

Do we see a recurring theme here? Silly, silly, silly.
