So, the European Union and the launch of the new euro currency are not hot topics around here I noticed. ;) But they are hot topics in some quarters, and I thought a few people here might get a kick out of this little note (http://denbeste.nu/cd_log_entries/2001/12/fog0000000066.shtml) about Belgium.

Dang! A great story about a tiny little country trying to subvert the world and I can't load it up! It keeps telling me that it can't find the server...

The currency is not called euro dollar just euro. Only currencies that really have dollar in their name are dollars.

So the Euro kinda effects since I live in Europe. we have the new currency but we can still apy with the old one until the end of Feb. So far I have not see the new money because none of the Banks were open today. But at Mc Donalds I got my change back in Euros. The Euro has one big advantage: the PS2 gets cheaper, but one the other hand some things get more expensive because they round up prices a bit.

An expired inner link or something. I just got something similar when I tried to follow a link to the same webpage.

So go here (http://www.denbeste.nu/) and scroll down until you see the face of a certain famous megalomaniac.
