My big best friend
I can't help myself. I'm experiencing some greediness here... please can someone go up there and get me some of that diamond?
"You would need a jeweller’s loupe the size of the Sun to grade this diamond,"
"It’s the mother of all diamonds," said Dr Metcalfe.
If I could only find a ring to go with it..
99 teachers in school
What's with the stabbing and shooting???
A male teacher was stabbed by a 35-year-old man in an Amsterdam school on Friday. On 13 January, deputy head master Hans van Wieren was shot dead by a pupil in a school in The Hague.
Hello, can we please stop killing our teachers no? We already have a shortage of teachers in The Netherlands. Jeee. Think people.
Oh boy...
I'm not sure how classmates in other countries react to the fact that a student killed their teacher. But here...
Claiming the suspect had no option but to shoot the teacher, one of the pupils said: "He (the suspect) was one of us and he never even hurt a fly".
Read the article..
This is insane. I have no words for it.

In The Netherlands High School is not the same for all people. At primary school they test your intelligence, after that they send you to LMO (dumb people High School), VMBO (not so smart people High School), Mavo (regular smart people High School), Havo (smart people High School), VWO (very smart people High School) or Gymnasium (very very smart people High School).
VWO and Gymnasium are comparable with US High School AND 2 years of undergraduate education.
This "accident" happened at the VMBO. I'm not sure if that will explain anything. But people there fight more often instead of talking things out. It's a fact that in The Netherlands 32% of the teachers who teach HAVO or VWO High School get confrontated with violence at some point in their career. For teachers at VMBO schools, that's 96%!

No Ferris Bueller trick..
What would YOU do if you were suspended? This high school kid thought it was necessary to kill his teacher for it. Although our country has higher crime rates every year, this news sort of comes as a shocking surprise. It all happened in the city we lived in untill a month ago (The Hague).
I think teachers are almost saints. They get shitty payment & shitty teenage students. And they still teach the kids in the best way they can. I'll admit when I was in High School there where a few teachers I hated didn't like, but shooting them never crossed my mind.
It's a shame. The teacher is not dead yet, but he's shot in the head so I don't think he'll be doing his biology class any time soon.. I guess that means a longer life for some frogs out there...
Go play with Elmo!
I was in shock when I read this article about a 5 year old dutch boy, sexually abusing his classmates. How can a 5 year old have such crazy behaviour?? His parents?
