What would you think about THE NETHERLANDS?

Seems like it's probably a part of Finland. Possibly an autonomic area like Åland?

The thread had sunken. Therefore, this message contains a million table tennis balls.

How about making this thread sticky?

A million table-tennis balls would weigh about 2 and a half tonnes. How did you get them here?

But they "push away" around 5 tons of water (Archimedes), so they flow (and bring these messages with them

).

This thing.. Can't be explained.
Just read all the way through from the first post in this thread.

(and, if you look at the time between the two posts of mine that are after each other, you'll notice that the other one was written in January and the other months later. I wrote the latter to make the thread visible in the thread listing again)

actually they weigh 2.7 tons and displace 33.509482 tons of water at 3.983 °C
1 million balls from before the year 2000, when the size was changed, weighed 2.5 tons and displaced 28.730192 tons of water at 3.983 °C

So, Dakkus, did you use old, worn-out, antique twentieth-century balls, or did you use bright shiny new twenty-first century balls?

I think you owe us an explanation.

Or do you not have the balls to tell us?

The balls were made in year 1986.

In 1986, Halley's Comet reappeared, the space-shuttle Challenger exploded, and Dakkus acquired one million table-tennis balls. Coincidence? I think not!

Precisely that. Welcome all new EBTers!

Has anybody else noticed that there seem to be fewer fivers (5€) around, or is it just me?

It may just be a subjective feeling, I have no statistics to back it up, but it seems to me that more often than not, when I buy something for less than 5€, using a 10 € note (or bigger), I get three 2€ coins in my change.
