From the Belgium newsite Geleuter.HTML
I couldnt find an English translation, so you'll have to accept that it isnt written in perfect English...

Today, a Cesna, a small twin engine plane with room for two persons crashed on a cemetery near Hassalt (Belgium).

The accident happened at one after midnight.
Witnesses declared they saw a small explosion, after which the plane hit the ground.

Emergency personal dispatched from Brussel has so far recovered 1826 corpses, and expects to find more as long as the digging continues.

Aw no! I've had enough of plane crashes!
But if it had room for two people, why did they uncover 1826 bodies?

Please tell me you are just joking...[/QUOTE]Its April the 1st. Its an ancient Dutch joke (Those from Belgium consider the Dutch to be greedy, and those from Holland consider their neighbours to be idiots), and I thought it might be fun to translate it to English [img]smile.gif[/img]

That joke has been around for almost a hundred years, I believe. Before that, it was a hot air balloon crash...

Applies to any race, color, or creed. Just slip 'em in and head on out.
