BELGIAN APPRECIATION THREAD

We don't eat frogs in Belgium, and no snails either. We do eat a lot of frieten, hutsepot and stamppot, drink ridiculous amounts of beer, but we don't eat frogs. However, I kinda like to shoot them #@#@#@#@bastards with an air gun, or a .22 when visiting some family of mine (farmers). (My grandfather's two 'long barrel' .44 US army revolvers are sooooo noisy, damn shame.)

I am reminded of the great (fictional) Belgian Detective Hercule Poirot - he was always being mistaken for French, much to his obvious annoyance.

Now that was a man with a mustche. Mon dieu!
 Fun fact 1: Belgium is the only other country except for Italy which uses a dot as a time separator. All other languages use a colon. Fun fact 2: I discovered this because the stupid dot caused a fatal error in an app I was testing. HIGH FIVE BELGIUM, YOU MADE MY AFTERNOON LONG AND PAINFUL!
