Aren't Belgians all descendants of Edward J. de Smedt, who invented asphalt?

I thought I read some story where he took his millions from his invention, started a cult at what is now modern day Brugge, and impregnated all the women.

Are you serious?

 

[swag]

Of course.

 

[Dinsdale]

It's true. 'Belgian' is an old Germanic form meaning 'bastard' or 'son of bastard'.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Really?

 

[bianconero]
