The Belgium is actually a universal but vague measurement of area.
Without the Belgium as this unit of measurement we would have no idea of,-
How much rainforest is cut down every year.
How much Canadian pine forest is replanted every yer.
How big some US forest fires have been.
How big some Australian ranches are.
How large some of the recent super-icebergs are(this is vital knowledge as it might give us a clue about global warming)
I’m sure there are others.
Without the Belgium the UK would have had to find differant reasons to join WWI or postpone the event possibly until the rematch in 1939.
Without the Belgium we would probably have had to make do with the Wales which is still used to this day by Brits opposed to metrication.
There is too a Belgium.
I know, because I can speak Belch.

Yeah, but how do we know that you exist?

Oh, ruadh , how can you say that? Did it mean that little to you?
Besides, next you’ll be telling me that SuperJoos doesn’t exist…
Seems a pretty standard reply. Wasn’t someone’s deffinition of artificial intelligence that you would think you were talking to a real person?
Hmmmm…

That’s the nicest compliment I’ve had in weeks. Nobody’s ever compared me to a real person before.

I’d answer this, but I’m not speaking to you at the moment :mad:
Nothing personal, you understand.
