  1. In Dutch Ladybugs are called 'Lieveheersbeestjes', which translates directly to 'Dearlordcritters'. I have been told by Dutch biologist Midas Dekkers that this happened a long time ago, when someone was about to be executed, but this ladybug flew on top of the chopping block and the criminal carefully helped the ladybug off the chopping block, put the ladybug with his hand elsewhere, and then laid his head on the chopping block. The priest, who witnessed this act of kindness, stopped the execution and said the insect was sent by our dear Lord to proof his innocence. The criminal got free and the insect is henceforth known as our "DearLordCritter". :)

  5. Dodo de-extinction would be my choice, because Dutch explorers were responsible for their extinction and as a Dutchman I feel kind of guilty for that. :-/

  6. From Europe here... it is so bizarre to me that people grab a weapon or buy ammo, when a natural disaster is going to happen. It's like the least useful tool out there to think of.
