Hey... What the heck is that? It's a temporal vortex that's connected to 16th century Flanders. Hey look... I got a weird medieval hat... Waar is mijn hoed?
I once downloaded a kung fu movie with no English subtitles. I did find a set of English subs for it, but it was for a different edit of the movie. I did have access to several sub sets for other languages, including Dutch, so I scanned through them a bit and the Dutch one looked to be the most understandable. It took several hours, but I was able to construct a full English sub set from the partial English set and the Dutch set.
on a recent Steven Colbert Late Night episode the obscenity **** (rhymes with duck) was exposed as a dutch word, brought to nyc by them centuries ago. y’all know the one: as a running gag — in heaven — it autocorrects to Fork when spoken by Kristen Bell’s character in NBC’s sitcom The Good Place.
Curious coincidence; just the other day I was trolling through YouTube and watched a vid: “Is English a Germanic language?” Answer is yes, to a linguist, but almost half words are Romance due to Norman French, Latin, etc. influences. Common spoken English closest to Germanic (incl. Dutch).

Verified and correct Dutch (though probably not 16th century Dutch)

And thus the collapse of history begins…

16th C? Fleas, mites and other nasty stuff. Do not put that on your head!

So, what if some 16th century Flems invade the 21st century, with their pikes and swords and arquebuses?
