World Leaders:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Wim Kok

-the premier (president) of the Netherlands
according to a dutch newspaper
he has the worst website of all
the European Union Leaders.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Butros Butros Ghali

(I will never understand his name)
 
 
 
 
 
 

And now, the most ridiculous town in the world.  Fucking, Austria (pronounced fooking)

Places of utter insignificance

Asse, Belgium
(however, as much as everyone would like to pronounce this as: Ass, in
Belgium they pronounce it,  Ahhhhhh sehh)

but it is the perfect location for the peace of Ass(e) of 1624
 
 

Uithuizen, Netherlands
(translated, it means: outhouses)
 
 

Baden Baden, Germany
(once is never enough)
 
 

Items from other countries

There is a German children's show
called Seibenstein (as opposed to Einstein)
which has a talking suitcase in it.
 

German comedy doesn't seem to exist.
There is nothing humorous in German
 
 
 

In Luxembourg an uneasy truce
exists between the languages: German,
French, and Dutch.  Supposedly the official
language is German, but road signs are in French,
and the majority of the people speak dutch.
Part of it is due to the fact that there are more dutch
tourists than actual inhabitantants.  But also, those who
speak German think they are in germany and those that speak
French believe they are still in France.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In the university of Buffalo, in one of the libraries,
there are completely closed cubicles meant, supposedly for study.
I however have never found a way into one.
But occassionally I see a chinese person walk out of them...
