It's Easter, the weather is great, I'm going to sit in the garden in a few minutes and then we'll have a barbecue tonight with our parents, so all is fantastic. And look what I made for dessert:

When this happens, we don't panic. Or go on about terrorists, two-headed cows, or three eyed fish that wil inevitably turn up in a few months. Oh no.

We Dutch people simply go and make 'grote vuurbal jonguh' ('Big fireball man!') the number one trending topic on Twitter - worldwide. Referring to this film. Don't you just love us ( Read more... )
