  1. They consistently rank in the top 5 worldwide. Dutch life expectancy is in the European top 10, above the EU average. If it was among the worst wouldn't the Dutch life expectancy be lower then average? Instead of beating Finland?

  4. Why England? There fourteen European countries with lions in their coat of arms. The UK is I think the only one with more then four lions.

  5.  @quidam_surprise  Native lions of Europe are extinct but they existed up to the bronze age. Hence Herakles fought them in Greece.

  6.  @SerioeserName  I can't even recall the English coat of arms. I highly doubt it;s the best known one. The fact we speak English has nothing to do with it. We speak English because we're in the American cultural sphere. It has nothing to do with the UK at all.

  7.  @quidam_surprise  So? There has been extensive European travel since the stone age. Our oldest continental battle that has warriors from Spain, the Balkans and Scandinavia is over 5000 years ago. People traveled and traded, especially along the amber road from the Baltic states to Italian peninsula. And then Rome spread their culture to all corners of their empire. I fail to see your point.

  8.  @SerioeserName  What does that have to do with the range of Eurasian lions? You made a point about them being southern.

  9.  @quidam_surprise  Not really, till the Marshall Plan after we German and French were the dominant secondary languages. English only had an uptick after the Americans went to work in Europe.
