When Belgium was created in 1830, no-one

  • When Belgium was created in 1830, no-one realised that there would never be any famous Belgians.
  • Oh sure there'd be Belgian waffles, Belgian beer, the bickering Flanders & Wallonians, & that culinary car crash Moules-frites, but I ask you, can you name me one Belgian of note?
  • Tintin threw down his paper in disgust. "Snowy, we travel the globe on ripping adventures and all they yammer about is Astrix the Gaul. As a famous Belgian, I must protest."
  • Snowy looked up at Tintin. His master was tiresome. Always running around, yelling, tons and tons of expended energy and for what? So Snowy laid back down beneath the dripping keg
  • and all Tintin's dog ever wanted was a good rest. The time was running out, but so was Snowy's patience and his master's energy! The dripping keg he lay down under gave no comfort
  • Because, some 2-1/2 years later, the Maunder Minimum was just getting going. It was to last 36 yr Ars. Tintin was prepared for the worst, having studied the subject. His dog
  • Snowy knew that, being a dog, he would never live another 36 years, so he retired and went to live a spiritual life in the Himalayas. He did not need a coat, just a sense of
  • belonging with the yeti folk.They taught Snowy the ways of the avalanche,how to choose the best pickings from the people buried in the snow. Snowy the dog soon mastered avalanching
  • and was ready to transcend into higher elevations. From the summits his vision could not be hidden or hidden from. Snowy the dog flew through the clouds by his third Eye. Evading
  • the dogcatchers with nine eyes: three on the face, two on the back of the head, and two on each buttock cheek. I guess Snowy shouldn't have bitten the mailman. Now he's in hell!
