Now this is a cracker...

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.

I'm lost for words...OK..I know some will say..that makes a change, but I'm working on it.

Did you know?...101 Dalmatians and Peter Pan (Wendy) are the only two Disney cartoon features with both parents that are present and don't die during the movie.


Not true. Both parents are at the start and end of Mulan.

Did you know that if you consumed a half a pound of polar bear liver is enough to kill you?

Yup, they're infected with trichinosis and the vitamin A levels are toxic.

Neerer neerer neener!

Did you know?...If you could count the number of times a cricket chirps in one minute, divide by 2, add 9 and divide by 2 again, you would have the correct temperature in celcius degrees... How do they know that?

They'd be buzzing around here like mad right now if it weren't for the
fact that they got roasted in the shade...115f/47c today.

Did you know?...23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their butts.

Lord there were a lot of people photocopying their butts on the old photo copier at our office. It failed just about every day - for 3 years.

Did you know?...On average, 90% Dutch teenagers can speak fluent English whereas only 80% American teenagers can speak fluent English. (Just in case you didnt know, English is not the first langauge of The Netherlands.)

Prove it!


Most of them even speak German if you start a conversation in English.

Regards Hans

P.S: Starting in German right away isn't the best idea, though :o)
