Apparently the "moon rock" the U.S. gave to Dutch Prime Minister Willem Drees to commemorate NASA's "moon mission" in 1969 has been revealed to be nothing more than petrified wood. The wood has been on display at the Dutch National Museum in Amsterdamn since Drees' death in 1988. The Dutch were also saddened to discover that the magic glowing crystals on display at the museum were pieces of gravel colored in yellow highlighter.

The best part about the Post's angry populist rant against the Dutch commandos who released a group of captured pirates in accordance with Netherlands maritime laws is the way the paper strains to find ways to insult the Dutch. Were "clog-loving" and "lowlanders" really the best that they could do? I'm kind of amazed that they left an easy "dikes" joke just sitting there on the table. Very, very disappointing.
