This is how they do it @ Vapiano in Amsterdam, right around the corner from the office. And yes, the thumb seems missing. I’ll ask next time. On the other hand (paw), I never attended a bear-anatomy class. Anyone?

Why? I’m not exactly sure yet, gut tells me it is though. These guys below were standing in front of the window recently, the little fountain-sprayer seems to really enjoy himself splashing in the waves (they’re really small I must admit, in fact, I think there aren’t really any waves…). I’m still wondering about the purpose.

Is he cleaning the air from pollution? According to this map it would be a pretty good idea.

Next in line is this fellow here, the German cruise vessel “AIDA something-something”.

1st image shows her returning from, what I believe was, her maiden voyage:

Since it’s the 2nd visit of this bootje I dedicate a bit more screen space to her (this was some 2 weeks ago, the sharp observer will notice the opposite driving direction):

I took this picture last week when I went to see my dentist. I realized that all these parking spaces were reserved for handicapped drivers.

Aus dem Buch von Dik Linthout mit gleichnamigem Titel (Zitat von Peter Knorr auf Seite 8):

“Früher, als die Holländer ihr Land noch nicht verließen, aus Angst, sie könnten einem bösen Berg begegnen oder von einer giftigen Lawine gebissen werden, galten sie als scheue Fabelwesen, die zentaurenhaft – halb Mensch, halb Fahrrad – durch die Dünen glitten und sich mit Klingelzeichen verständigten. Später erhoben sie ihre chronische Halskrankheit zur Landessprache und krächzen seither zum Klingeln.”

Heel erg bedankt, Meneer van den Broek!
