You can fit a Heiny anywhere

I stumbled upon a Dutch blog moments ago - I love when I chase a rabbit trail that only leads to a stranger beast. I have no idea what the written words are exactly saying, but this blog looks damn interesting. Enough so, that I attempted to translate the whole page in Systran with some luck.

The words I read look smart. Must be the extra vowels. They're accompanied by interesting photos and sidelined by links to such blog subjects as Film, Boeken, Filosofie, Architectuur and Schilderkunst. Thanks to Systran I learned of an art opening in The Hague called "Sixties!" and based on, what else, the 1960's.

I also learned about new Dutch postage stamps which will - get this - have mini Heiny's on them! Ten icons were created for the new 44 eurocent stamps to "represent" the Netherlands, including the Heineken Longneck, Philips spaarlamp and Bugaboo pram. And seems typical Dutch to include a smoked sausage (sponsored by UNOX).

I guess when weighing the popularity of an image of the queen over smoked sausage... well we know what won.

One icon I didn't see was a nice healthy marijuana leaf. If not, maybe a plate of hash brownies?
