Infamous wouldn't be a problem either. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:47 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I only know two Broom and Brutuz, the rest is just "Dutch" to me.

Does she still wear that orange miniskirt? Quote: how many Dutch people do YOU know Let's see, my first crush was on a Heebink (unrequited). The first girl to kiss me (second grade) was a Geurkink. First girl I kissed was a Heunink. One of my favorite teachers a Willink. Went to school with Vrieze's, Vansomerans, Mentinks, Wissinks, Wieberdinks, Hoytinks, and Zevenbergens. My nickname in college was "Wrenchmiester." As far as famous people: Fokker, who designed airplanes and Bernoulli, who keeps them up. van der Waals, who keeps molecules stuck together. Huygens, who invented voyeurism with a telescope. Erasmus, one of those religious guys. Spinoza, one of those philosophers that psuedo intellectuals mention but haven't read. Rembrandt and van Gogh, who invented paintings of naked people. Escher, who is just plain twisted. Eddie and Alex Van Halen. Van Leeuwenhoek, who invented "wee beasties." Van Dyck, who invented lesbianism. Last but not least, Sylvia Kristel and Laura Gemser, who both played Emmanuelle. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 2:12 pm Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 When someone from the USA visited me years ago he asked me all about "Hans Brinker", the brave Dutch boy who supposedly put his finger in the dyke (no, not a dike) to prevent a flood. _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube   Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 2:34 pm Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 Back in the mid 90s there was this extremely tall dude named Rick Smits who played center in the NBA. He made a clutch shot one year and they called him "Dutch in the clutch". So add him to the list. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.
