    Legal weed and creative engineering go hand in hand.

    Some civil engineer must have been dumbfounded and probably a bit woody when he showed the blueprints to some committee of bureaucrats and actually got approval to build it.

    Man, that sucks.


    Because if I had a boat and were on that waterway, I'd constantly be going back and forth to watch it work. Nobody would ever be able to pass over it.

    I knew it was Holland. Not quite as crazy as the boat elevator in Scotland, but pretty close. It seems Dutch engineers are not bound by normal conventions like rationality or the laws of physics. Maybe it's all the weed?

    In my dream house, this bridge would be located just outside the front gate of my walled compound. I would have a big red button in my office next to a security monitor, and I could instantly and mercilessly eject any unwelcome visitors, launching them 100 feet in the air. Cue maniacal laughter.

    Leave it to the Dutch.

    "Make a chiant spatula zo ve can vlip ze cars into ze air ven der zailbots go by? Yah, sure, ve can do dat."


    These frikkin gigantic windmills on the mountain down the road from me? Dutch. "You vant a spinny skyscraper? Hokay."

    Sometimes I feel
    Everything's P-Chopped
    Sometimes I feel
    Like my only friend
    Is the PC I live on
    The PC of angels
    Lonely as I am
    Together we cry


    Weird-looking bridge
    It made me draw some blood
    Weird-looking bridge
    I did not search enough
    Weird-looking bridge
    Forgot about the Dutch
