What in God's name was this supposed to mean?

Also, "Danke, Spiegel!"

[ComboViera]

-Spiegel, spiegel, wer ist der schön am meisten?
-Du bist der schön am meisten
-Danke, Spiegel

[Germandy]

Not to be a smartass, but to complete your advanced education in telling fairy tales:
"Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand, wer ist die Schönste im ganzen Land?" :)
(ein Spieglein = a little mirror)

[jmooring]

What, you guys never read Snow White?

[Germandy]

Never noticed the queen ever thanked the mirror for the compliments... =P

[Karmagato]

Just a reflective way to thank yourself!

[duoderSie]

It could also be a letter to the magazine "Der Spiegel"

[arortiz73]

I feel that this is a very obscure sentence that could have been made by: a moron, a robot, a comedian, a narcissist, a zombie, an etc.

[EishaGee]

so would you say "danken, Spiegel" for "thanks, mirrors"?

[duoderSie]

Good question. Danke remains the same because it's "Ich danke= I thank ...". You're right that Spiegel is both singular and plural, but danken takes a dative raticle as shown by the very formal "ich danke Ihnen" (Ihnen is dative for Sie) And so the Dative Plural of Speigel has an n at the end like almost all nouns do. Therefore it would be
Danke, Spiegeln
