What I learned these last two weeks

  • Last week, I wasn't the only one whose internet connection crapped out.
  • Unicorns do exist, invisible pink ones too.
  • Tom Egberts is 50+.
  • This would be around the right time to invade Belgium: their army is almost out of ammunition.
  • Apparently, every movie becomes an instant classic once you cut a trailer to Clint Mansell's Requiem for a Dream soundtrack. Lastest example: Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
  • Champagne is an English invention.
  • My new favorite word of the year is 'Toeterturk', named after the habit of Turkish people to go driving around while honking their horn when Turkey wins in the European Championship.
  • Libraries are still awesome.
  • If you visit the Windows update website with Internet Explorer 8 beta 1, you're treated as if you're just another lepper that doesn't use Internet Explorer.
  • The European Soccer Championship is just like Christmas: the day it's over the decorations are instantly gone.
  • There's a strong indication that there's ice on Mars.
  • Firefox 3 was downloaded over 8.2 million times on download day. Still waiting on the official confirmation of the world record though.

    Awesome libraries indeed. Too bad there is no location given, they would be great holliday destinations...

    Most of the pictures (if not all), seem to be lifted from this article, which has the locations. I seem to have posted that before.

    thanks for that link. In my defense I can only say that ehm... I didn't know internet in 2006? Nah, no-one would believe that. I didn't know your site back then. At least not consious.
