Your German hotel bill (if staying at the Ostfriesland): 34p x your weight. From the same nation that just brought you tailor-made condoms comes this:

A German hotel has started calculating fees according to the weight of the guest. The three-star Ostfriesland hotel in the north German town of Norden charges the equivalent of 34p/US$0.60/CAD$0.68 per kilogram. So a thin man weighing 60 kilos pays just over £20 a night, but a man weighing 100 kilos would be forced to shell out nearly £35. Owner Juergen Heckroth said: “Slim guests live longer and can therefore come more often and that is why we reward them” (Ananova).
