Netherlands in Proverbs - 3 views

  •  
    Continuing the museum theme... today's Wikipedia Picture of the Day. This might be *the* ultimate test of the knowledge of Dutch... can you name any of them? On the more ACT-like note: I wonder how the contemporary version would look like? P.S. Yes, the proverbs are listed on Wikipedia and yes, lots of them involve herring.

    I'll just leave this here :) They only cut corners on the lens - which allegedly should be a Nikkor 8mm F8.0, but the latter is rare and much more expensive than the final product itself (if you manage to find one used, that is)

Learn to dock ATV the astronaut way - 3 views

As usual for the material located there, I took me a few minutes to find them...

[Edit] Ah, and before you suggest this is AFD hoax, here's the ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22260359
