Or New Amsterdam, as it used to be known!

For some reason, everyone's favorite American, Bill O'Reilly, has managed to get himself into Dutch headlines by talking bad about our nation.

A Dutch commercial agency has launched an initiative to give New York back to its original owners!

Considering control of New Amsterdam was ceeded to the British Empire by the Treaty of Westminster of 1674, wouldn't their call actually mean giving control back to Britain? [Razz]

Oh great then Maine will usurp the land previously occupied by NY and there'll just be salmon and lobster and smelly fishermen as far as the eye can see.
Happy now, crab-lover?

Then wouldn't that be the amoeba? Hell, maybe we should just scoop the whole damn place out of the ground and send it hurtling into the sun... it's made of material that "belongs" to the sun, right? [Razz]
