Straatview
I previously wrote about Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau, a tiny town in Holland with a few dozen parcels of land belonging to Belgium. International borders run haphazardly through the town, dividing streets and buildings, like so:

Well, it seems that Google maps has Streetviewed all of Holland and none of Belgium, resulting in Streetview stopping and starting at near-random intervals through Baarle-Nassau. My favourite part is that some of the Belgian parts have little parts inside them that belong to Holland. These tiny strips of Dutch land, some no bigger than a front yard, are streetviewed, while the Belgian parts are all cut off.

Battle of Wits: Marc D. Rowland
Your challenge: find a Wikipedia entry describing a cartoon character, the hilarity of which is immeasurably improved by replacing all instances of that character's name with the text "Marc D. Rowland".

Examples after the jump.

Additionally, I declare Dye! the winner of the previous battle of wits, mostly because his entry is the only one that still loads with any swiftness. Dye! wins a pun of his choosing.

Things To Do Instead Of Writing a Novel
I've recently been watching a lot of Iron Chef America, mostly because I think the Chairman is one of the most hilarious people on TV. Today I put together a montage of some of his finest moments.



Also, is it possible to copyright a character? Because if so, I think Marc D. Rowland should sue.

Elephant? What elephant?


The photo in this Alberta tourism ad is actually a beach in Northumberland, England.

"There's no attempt to make people think that this is Alberta," Tom Olsen, a spokesman for Premier Ed Stelmach, told the Edmonton Journal.

Is That His Lunch?


This image from the BBC required a bit of wikicontext before I understood what it was all about.

Zoetermeeriment
Zoetermeer is a city (pop. 119,000) near The Hague and Rotterdam. On the city council website are Zoetermeer-themed computer games. One is a sort of SimZoetermeer, like SimCity except that the city grows according to the history of Zoetermeer from 1960 (when the town had only 6,000 people) to today. The other is Castle Zoetermeer. I haven't tried that one yet.

I think that all city council websites should have video games.

More vacation movies
Hopefully, this highlights video captures the frenetic pace of our trip to the Olympics this summer. At least I'm not inviting you over to watch slides...

Classics of British Comedy
The Benny Hillifier will take any YouTube video and turn it into a Benny Hill clip. Just get the video id for the video you want converted, and paste it in at the end of this URL:

For example... (May take a while to load.)

The first epistle of Chrisdye from the Philippines
Some things you should consider visiting while in Asia:

http://siamniramit.com/ An awesomely cheesy musical dance show featuring all of Thailand's history and culture, featuring a live elephant (which you can ride before the show) and green deities with two foot crowns flying across the dry ice-filled stage.

Vietnamese water puppets: cheesy goodness at one fifteenth the price of Siam Niramit:


Possibly to avoid is the Petronas Twin Towers observation deck, which at floor 41 of 88 floors, is slightly higher than the lunch room at my office.

Independent thinkers
"The Independent International Commission on Decommissioning (IICD) was established to oversee the decommissioning of paramilitary weapons in Ireland, as part of the peace process."

They could have used a commission to oversee the naming of said group.
