As an American who is disillusioned with just about everything happening in this shithole country, when I look at Europe — especially those happy socialist countries full of unresaonbly tall blonde people — it feels like a movie. They have weed and they leave their babies outside in carriages while they go into a coffeshop. Vacation days are mandatory and nobody goes bankrupt over a root canal — the stuff Hollywood dreams are made of.
Casually browsing the internet and finding out a train was saved by a sculpture of a whale’s tail has done nothing to allay the cinematic impression I already had.
The driver of a metro train escaped injury when the front carriage rammed through the end of an elevated section of rails and was caught by a sculpture of a whale’s tail near the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.
The train was left perched upon one of two tail fins known as “flukes” several meters (yards) above the ground.

Y’all. A train ran through the barrier at the end of its line and didn’t crash to the ground because there was a plastic sculpture of a whale tail waiting to catch it. If somebody wrote that and stuck it into a movie I would’ve rolled my eyes at such a ridiculous plot device. Imagine Sandra Bullock handcuffed to that subway pole in Speed and the train bursts through the end of the line coming to a gentle stop in the waiting grace of a whale’s tail.
Therefore, I do not believe The Netherlands is a real place. I think it’s a media conspiracy to make Liberals wish upon a star for a socialist society where healthcare is attainable and sculptures save lives. The only Dutch I know is Double, so unless it’s a jump rope competition, I don’t want to hear it. Fool me once…
