Politiek

Wie iets op Nederland aan te merken heeft, moet niet mekkeren maar meedoen. Dat kan, want Nederland is het prachtigste land ter wereld. Maak je eigen keuze, zoek een politieke partij op die bij je past, en laat van je horen!

My Workplace

Holland is a very wet little country. Everyone knows this, except architects. They design buildings not only with flat roofs (thus maximizing the rain catch), but also with inclined walls (Pisa-envy, it's called). My room in our new building gets rain in abundance (next feature: tropical snakes in the computer cable ducts). Recently, an artwork I designed in honour of Professor Oort, in the entry hall of this building named after him, narrowly escaped destruction. This building will yet cost more in lawyer's fees than it cost to build it. Visitors: bring an umbrella!

Pats!

Sterrenkunde kom je op de gekste plaatsen tegen, zoals te zien in deze grap van Kamagurka uit NRC Handelsblad.
