The Google "do a barrel roll" search caught plenty of attention this week -- but it's only one of many Easter eggs the Internet giant has hidden around the Web...

Is your board so busy that you haven't room for this tripe on there?

Well, there are only 4 errors in your first post and 4 or maybe 5, depending on how you rephrased it, in the second.



So you are getting better. Well done DutchCrusader but you must try harder.



I was thinking of arranging a trip to Srebrenica next July. Would you like to come. I thought it might be an idea to put up a war memorial to the Dutch soldiers who died trying to save the Muslims. It will be the smallest war memorial ever erected. Would you like to contribute?

You know what's funny? I didn't write the sentence. It was copied from the article. Just to provoke one of your funny comments. It worked. You really know how to make a fool of yourself...

Only the most despicable scum from the gutters would write this. You did.

I think the comment is beyond the pail as well Hans, but to be fair, it is exactly the sort of thing you would write to attack the British.

@ msg 6, Giles: Yes! I hate the British! I hate the British! I hate the British! I hate the British!

Does this nonsense make your day, Giles?

P.S. Worse: I even hate my many British friends in TRNC!

P.P.S. But what I hate most of all, Giles: xenophobe/paranoid idiots* (any nationality).

That touched a nerve. I think we can assume the Dutch cap fitted nicely!

"beyond the pale" The pale (palisade) was a barrier around Dublin to keep the native Irish out.



"The first mention of the Irish Pale is in a document of 1446–7. Though there was an attempt later in the century to enclose the Pale by a bank and ditch (which was never completed), there never was a literal fence around it."



Beyond the pale came to mean "unacceptable behaviour" and in particular to Dutchmen on bulletin boards.
