My last evening in the Netherlands for a while, featuring ship decorations carved by men who had never seen breasts

I don't suppose there are any other tallship sailors hanging around here? I kind of want to rant about the lack of shipnerdery at Het Scheepvaartmusem, the Dutch national maritime museum

@spinflip Sorry, the 13-year-old in me can't resist... the sheep fart museum?

More seriously, I think it's nifty that the English words "ship", "art", and "museum" obviously share some common ancestry with (if not directly descended from) the Dutch.

@MySideIsHumanity Dutch is fun like that: I don't speak it, but if you adopt the mindset of a toddler making funny sounds it's actually pretty easy to understand simple words and sentences
