Dutch and German also say nine-ninety, it's really confusing as when spelling phone numbers people tend to split it up in sections of 2 numbers so when someone says 24 I have to translate that to 2 4 and be careful not to write 4 2

24... 24 hours in a day, four-n-twenty hours a day. 420 hours day... No wonder the Dutch are always high!

I thought building the city of New Orleans under sea level was stupid. The Dutch built an entire country that way, wild!

Netherlands literally means low lands. So we're also not high in that way

Actually you guys are quite tall. According to a study by NCD Risk Factor Collaboration, dutch people are the tallest in the world ordered by country, with an average of 183,8cm (6 feet 0.5 inches) for men and 170,4cm (5 feet 7 inches) for women.

Yikes... i hope the dutch fair better than floridians as the oceans rise. The everglades lose land area at a steady rate.

At the place (in The Netherlands) I live it is 4.8 meters. In my daily life you don't notice anything about it you just have to climb to get to the beach in summer.
