[18:01:48] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) secondly, if you think about netherlands, you probabyl think about this
[18:01:51] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) flat country
[18:01:57] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) http://www.geschiedenisbeleven.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/13.05.29.Veranderd-landschap-vlak-land.jpg

[18:02:25] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) well we still do have 1000 windmills
[18:02:39] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but the highest point in the Netherlands is actuall nearly 2 KM
[18:02:46] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) don't believe me?
[18:02:56] (Rose) nope
[18:03:00] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) well the things is netherlands, or as i would rather say kingdom of the netherlands is big
[18:03:05] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) not just the tiny strip in europe
[18:03:14] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but we own still some islands from about 400 years ago
[18:03:28] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) from the tip of florida it's only a 2 hour flight away to dutch soil
[18:03:36] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) that looks a bit more like this
[18:03:37] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) http://www.landenweb.nl/images/imgsint-maarten/1663407C-BC76-CCCA-CFD31FEFEDAD37C7.JPG
[18:04:03] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) actually, we border france directly as well, not in mainland europe, but in the carribean
[18:04:17] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) check this video later, when i'm done ;)
[18:04:17] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE_IUPInEuc
[18:04:26] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) so now, what do you think dutch people like
[18:04:31] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) tall jokes?
[18:04:41] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) hmm perhaps, we are indeed the tallest in the world
[18:04:44] (+JackRuby) who's this slump
[18:04:44] (ChrisVaughn) chips with mayonese
[18:04:55] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but did you know only the people from the north actually are tall, the sourthern dutch people aren't
[18:05:09] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) anyone who likes the movie inception?
[18:05:25] (ChrisVaughn) nope
[18:05:28] (Rose) what is it about?!
[18:05:31] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) coz what we have in NL, is actually triple in country inception
[18:05:46] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) that movie is about someone in a dream, who dreams, and has another dream in his dreams
[18:05:54] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) well in netherlands we have country ception
[18:06:02] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) we have a piece of belgium, in the netherlands
[18:06:12] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but in that piece of belgium there are some dutch territories
[18:06:24] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but as well, in those dutch parts, there are even little parts of belgium again
[18:06:30] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle#/media/File:Baarle-Nassau_-_Baarle-Hertog-nl.png
[18:06:34] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) kinda looks like that ;)
[18:06:50] (ChrisVaughn) you have hookers and canabis, that's all i care about
[18:06:51] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but as we all know, Dutchieland is most famos for their tulips right?
[18:06:56] (Nio) holland is for nerds
[18:07:01] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) do you think we invented the tulips?
[18:07:13] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) o yes, we love our red light district and the weed
[18:07:16] (ChrisVaughn) no, you just took them to silly extremes
[18:07:21] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) why do you think we legalized it?
[18:07:26] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) well chris
[18:07:28] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) odly enough
[18:07:37] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) our 'dutch' tulips actually are coming from Turkey
[18:07:43] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) like our Santa claus (sinterklaas)
[18:07:47] (Technical) Bastards
[18:07:49] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) who is not the jolly fat guy
[18:08:01] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but actually a very childfriendly bishop from current territories of turkey
[18:08:13] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) not "child-friendly' as current bishops are
[18:08:29] (Technical) If it's on the internet it must be true!
[18:08:29] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but actually giving a lot of the church's funds, for helping local poor kids in the harsh winter months
[18:08:37] (Bruno) lol
[18:08:38] (Bruno) rofl
[18:08:40] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) lol, well technical
[18:08:42] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) do you own a bike?
[18:08:46] (Bruno) yes

[18:09:14] (FMP) trixie haha
[18:09:15] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) well pretty trixie, you are in luck
[18:09:25] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) because pretty people get pretty bikes

[18:09:29] (Nio) amsterdam has a weeb shop tbh
[18:09:32] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) or decorated ones
[18:09:44] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) like we do as a tradition during our queens (sorry king's day celebration)
[18:09:51] (ChrisVaughn) Last time I was in Amsterdamn a guy on a bike with a sofa on the handlebars tried to kill me
[18:09:52] (ChrisVaughn) cunt
[18:09:55] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) did you actually know queensday was not the birthday of the queen
[18:10:00] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but actually the birthday of her mother
[18:10:12] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) one time it was actually on sunday, but that didn't work for us, and put it on saturday
[18:10:16] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) imagine the poor old lady
[18:10:19] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) confused as hell
[18:10:26] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) waking up, YAY my birthday

[18:10:58] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) so anyways, i degress, so we all know we got too many bikes in NL
[18:11:05] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) which brings me to my next Dutch invention
[18:11:16] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) did you guys see those japanese parking garages?
[18:11:19] (Rose) there was a first invention?
[18:11:24] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) like you bring your car, they have machines
[18:11:28] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) and then put your car in a slot
[18:11:35] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) well in netherlands, we don't have too many cars
[18:11:42] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but what we do have, are biking parking garages:
[18:11:53] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fietsflat#/media/File:Bicycle_parking_lot.jpg
[18:12:02] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) this one is actually in Amsterdam next to the central transtation
[18:12:19] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) nice thing is, it's always packed, and twice as many bikes are still scattered around it :D
[18:12:27] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) talking about big
[18:12:44] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) did you know if you combined all dikes and dams in the Netherlands, you could make a row of 80,000KM of them?
[18:13:06] (Technical) Brought to you by uselessfacts.com
[18:13:13] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) so anyways, in short, NL is a tiny country, but we fight water
[18:13:20] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) we actually became pretty good at it
[18:13:31] (dan) DIKKE BMW
[18:13:34] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) we often get consulted, also by the US government in Hurricane aftermaths
[18:13:38] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) like with katrina
[18:13:57] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but also the Italians come to us, venice is slowly sinking in the sea
[18:13:59] (Nio) WOENZEL!
[18:14:05] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) so the dutch actually come there as well
[18:14:10] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) so in short
[18:14:13] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) we gave you
[18:14:14] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) bacon
[18:14:16] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) tall ass people
[18:14:19] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) bike fanatics
[18:14:24] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) blue curacao
