Overall: a hill in the south eastern province of Limburg, near the Belgian border. It's supposed to be over 300 meters high.

Regarding the part of the nation that was reclaimed from the sea: the man made dunes in the province of Zealand are the highest with a peak of 65 meters.

Pretty impressive eh? :D

Well that's not new. The difference between wet and dry feet is money.
This reminds me of joke the Belgians told me.

Do you know why the French chose the rooster as their emblem?




















Because it's the only animal that sings while its feet are soaking into turd.

It sounds better in French but still..

Sure Gray but this is a classic example of a joke that loses all its humour if translated. Literally it means :

For tourists : no parking here please
To all the others : you've broken our balls now.
Sunday open.

The funny part lies in the spelling which blatantly betrays the "Romaness" of the author. Indeed he spells "gli altri" (the others) "l'artri" and "il" ( = the) "er" (cf Totti being nicknamed "er Pupone", roughly meaning "the big baby"). You can't sound any more Roman than by using the pronoun "er" in fact.

Actually I should change my sig as no one bar Nick would appreaciate it I guess :groan:

Nick, if you come to my house, you better bring the alcohol and get ready for an all-night Fifa tournament. You get to play Burke first.
