Crazy Belgian dancers?

Poem for English speakers...

Taken from wikipedia, attributed to anonymous (that anonymous guy is really prolific.)

I take it you already know,
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead - it’s said like bed, not bead,
For goodness’ sake, don’t call it ‘deed’!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there’s dose and rose and lose –
Just look them up – and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart –
Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Why man alive!
I’d mastered it when I was five.

Only in England?

I'm hungry now? --Thanks to Ken for this gem.

Finally some cool!

Not the way to park.

Get rewarded for good...ish behavior...

It's important that we make sure that understand the concept of a production website...or it could go down.

Got nothing better to do? Let's take New Zealand.

Been a while but here is something....

Feel the Power of the Dark Side.
Actually the dark side looks kinda dorky.

Not so much funny as just really neat.
