Klein bottles of Heineken
What does it happen when you give a lot of money (with respect to an average Italian PhD salary) to a high and very specific educated youngster that uses to spend his/her life thinking about nonsense?
He/Her will start spending all this money (and a bit more) in buying the stupidest and most useless thing traceable on internet.
Last thing I bought from California is in fact an original Klein Bottle made of glass (actually it's a 3D immersion of a real 4D Klein Bottle)!! Cool, isn't it?
I didn't find a use for it yet, but - come on! - I had to buy a zero volume bottle!
(And I am not even high educated yet!)
But now let's be serious. There is a drama going on.
The Chinese authorities have banned the import of traditional Dutch deep fried rissoles known as bitterballen during the Olympics (the Telegraaf reported yesterday)!!!
The bitterballen were destined for the Heineken House ("a Dutch-style cafe for fans and athletes") but it come out they contain Brazilian meat, which is banned in China.
But don't despair!
Producer Van Dobben is now considering to set up a temporary production line just for China. So stay tuned: if we're lucky the world will be safe!

Hairy moments for bald youngsters
Here we are.
Back in the low (and cold) Holland after this disastrous football week-end.
I was hoping to watch another Holland-Italy in front of bowl of bitterballen and at the end I find myself here waiting for Russia-Spain...
So my plan to see what would have been going on here with the Oranje winning the Championship is gone.
I will not see crazy Dutch jumping into the canals, deep-frying orange scarfs, kissing each other... and maybe even step down from the bike!
All of this is gone forever... like teardrops (of sweat) in the rain...
But never mind!
I'll be traveling on Sunday to Japan so no final anyway.
Moreover the Dutch decided (according to a poll made over a sample of 1 drunk Dutch) to support Russia now. And I'll go back supporting Denmark again.
Also the government decided to rise some of the 80km/hour speed limits around Amsterdam and Utrecht and if it's meant for cars (and not for bikes) it's cool.
Does this have something to do with the results of the Championship?

Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb 11116
This week we're in Paris (or Parijs in dutch).
Eleonora is here for work and I decided to follow the happy group and to piss away the remains of my holidays. Yes, I know: it's June and I've already used all my free days...
Fortunately for you I discovered I can reach the Sorbonne wireless connection from my hotel room so I've been able to update the Euro 2008 standings.
Unfortunately for you I discovered I can reach the Sorbonne wireless connection from my hotel room, so when it rains I can waste time surfing around the web and make discoveries.
For example there is a couple in Sweden that tried to give their son the name of Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (check here).
And then I'm complaining about my name....
Then I found out that the official name of Bangkok is actually Krung-dēvamahānagara amararatanakosindra mahindrayudhyā mahātilakabhava navaratanarājadhānī purīramya utamarājanivēsana mahāsthāna amaravimāna avatārasthitya shakrasdattiya vishnukarmaprasiddhi and that there are two villages called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio- gogogoch (in Wales) and Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukaka- pikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (in New Zealand).
Cool, isn't it?

Life is.. a cosmic symphony
Hello,
from now on the ranking over the (ugly) bets for Euro 2008 will stay on the right side of the blog (can you see it?) so that we will be able to post some other bullshit here.
So, to inaugurate the bull's year, here there is a new advertisement for the dutch beer Bavaria.
Life is...

Mooninglight sonata
Last week we were busy getting married so we didn't update our blog.
Still there is a Country that never sleeps!
Thanks to my friend Patrick that pointed out this to me.
I report it directly from the AP.
Dutch man injures posterior in mooning accident
UTRECHT, Netherlands (AP) -- Utrecht police say a 21-year-old Dutch man is recovering after a "mooning" that went horribly wrong.
A police statement says the man and two others had run down a street in Utrecht with their pants pulled down in the back "for a joke."
It says that at one point the 21-year-old "pushed his behind against the window of a restaurant" that broke and resulted in "deep wounds to his derriere."
The statement released Tuesday says police detained the three men after the incident Sunday morning. But the cafe owner decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.
The injured man was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital.
Patrick's comment on this was: "What is wrong with this nation!?"
PS: I swear it wasn't me. I have a strong alibi: I was getting married.
