Disaster strikes our proud nation (again)!

[Sock Puppet]

I love how the hovertext says "Large Luxembourg Map." This stuff just writes itself.

How cute that you have a river called Our River

[Miisa]

I thought the Sure river was cuter, as if it's trying to convince itself it really is a river.

Oh, goodness. It's considerably smaller than Chicago. How charming!

P.S. Let me rephrase that. . . .

Is that right? Luxembourg is only around 30km across? Brisbane is bigger than that. Is it accurate? I thought it was funny driving three hours in Ireland and getting one side of the country to the other, but it would only take half an hour in Luxembourg. And that's with ducks crossing the road.

It is wee. Also amusing, one of their districts is called "Got Land?"

"Not really, but I smuggled in this handful of dirt from Germany. Quadrupled the size of my backyard."

In the North, yes. In the south it's a lot larger!

That's actually Gutland (good land). Gotland is in Sweden.

[Deadlokd]

No really? 30km?

My eldest daughter, bless her idiotic heart, has a game whereby, where ever we go, however many kilometres we are from our house, like 2000 sometimes, will always say "I can see our house from here." In Luxembourg that joke, not that it is funny, just irritating now, would not be funny at all, because where ever you stand you will be able to see everyone's house from there.

I know I've joked about how small Luxembourg is but I never really understood just how small it is. That is so cute. Now I really have to come and have a look. Must remember not to blink.

It's about 30 km from my house to the east side of Tulsa. It's not like Oz, I can't see houses that far away. Perhaps my eyesight isn't what it once was.

I was wondering about that, and though "that must cause mixups!"

[Deadlokd]

So, when you decide to go for a brief stroll in the evening how do you decide between walking clockwise and anti-clockwise around the country?

[Stormlight]

Oh, I can't be bothered with such trivial nonsense. I just follow the baby ducks around.

[Watser?]

Here's the list of European countries by area and population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_an...lation_density

Some are ridiculously small by area, some by population (Iceland), some by both.

[Stormlight]

lol iceland

[Dingfod]

Iceland is larger in land area than Ireland, almost 50% larger?




O hell, it's about 2/3rds smaller and has about 2/3rd as many sheepfuckerspeople than Wyoming.

So are you making a documentary? March of the Ducks or something? Get a famous actor like Ron Jeremy to narrate it?

Or is he too big for Luxemborough?

Major, major drug bust!

This is the current news flash. For those unfortunate enough not to read luxembourgish:

On Wednesday a drug dealer was arrested in Luxembourg-City. He had just sold cocaine to two people on the Karl-Marx Boulevard. The picture of the booty is awesome: 250 EUR and a mobile phone.

A War on Drugs - we has it!

[Miisa]

Isn't that 150€? Or is our money seen as bigger from that angle?

[Stormlight]

Indeed, Mr Miisa. I think I just lost face.
