I worked for a Dutch company (Philips) for awhile, so I can tell the difference; but they are similar. The main difference is that German doesn't have any double "a" in any regular words. So, if you see double a, it's almost certainly Dutch (or Afrikaans.) Awesome reference, thanks

That is the only front pic that can be found online, which is why RMA is wondering if it's real or not. I am beginning to wonder if this might be the rarest Maxx of all... I doubt it. I've got one. It was with me in Boston, which is why I was so angry that Kieth jacked me over.

I'm always the last to know things.....well, how is it that Branget has a 9.8 slabbed gold ed. and there is no gold on the census? RE : My Sam Kieth thread here...

By the by....did you know, before the invention of refined sugar, Europeans were substantially taller? And had better teeth? Interesting, no...?

That doesn't surprise me. Thanks to the British and Dutch East India Companies, which brought in inexpensive sugar cane. Prior to that Europeans relied on honey, which is just as bad for you, but it was a comparatively rare and expensive ingredient. I'm relying on my memory of an essay I wrote in college on the subject.

I'm relying on my memory of an essay I wrote in college on the subject. Sugar is a poisonous drug, every bit as addictive as heroin. But because it kills less quickly, it's perfectly acceptable, and, obviously, pushed in everything. Sigh.
