      <description><![CDATA[ I previously <a href="http://vorg.ca/2989-Some-parting-thoughts">wrote about Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau</a>, 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:<br><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&t=h&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.062919,0.154324&z=13&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&t=h&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.062919,0.154324&z=13" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small><br><br>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.

      <title>Battle of Wits: Marc D. Rowland</title>
      <link>http://vorg.ca/3202-Battle-of-Wits-Marc-D.-Rowland</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ 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".<br><br>Examples after the jump.<br><br>Additionally, I declare Dye! the winner of the <a href="http://vorg.ca/3069-Return-Of-The-Son-Of-Battle-Of-Wits-Revenge" target="new">previous</a> battle of wits, mostly because his entry is the only one that still loads with any swiftness. Dye! wins a pun of his choosing.<br><P><br>Examples:<br> <blockquote>He can summon the power to transform himself into a more vigorous form — Marc D. Rowland, the Ever-Living — by reciting the famous incantation: “Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Marc D. Rowland, the Ever-Living!” While in this form, Marc D. Rowland possesses superhuman strength, the ability to fly, as well as fortification of his mystical might — casting spells, throwing energy bolts, etc. — to battle his foes. . . .<br><br>Seemingly invincible in whatever form he chooses, Marc D. Rowland appears to have a singular weakness: seeing his own hideous reflection neutralizes his ability to remain outside the Black Pyramid and forces him to withdraw there in his emaciated mummy form.</blockquote><br><blockquote>Marc D. Rowland is characterized by his incredible strength. In the intro sequence of the 1980s cartoon series he claims to be "The Most Powerful Man in the Universe". . . . In his first DC comics appearance he was able to trade punches with Superman. . . . Typical of most adaptations is that Marc D. Rowland is often shown successfully attempting feats deemed impossible by other characters. Episodes of the original cartoon also depict him as being able to swim at a far faster rate than is humanly possible.</blockquote><br>]]></description>

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.<br><br>I think that all city council websites should have video games.]]></description>
