6) Everyone in Holland lives in a windmill… apart from those who don’t… who aren’t really Dutch.
7) The Dutch consider hills to be as mythical as unicorns and fairies. They laugh at anyone with such geological beliefs.

10) The reclaiming of land from the sea is mainly down to the Dutch being very OCD.
11) Dutch drop was first invented as a way of uncovering German spies during World War II. It was the uncontrollable facial expressions of shock and horror upon experiencing the extreme salty taste that identified them as not being Dutch.
12) Raw herring was first served in Holland due to a miss translation in a cookbook. Since then it has become hugely popular throughout the entire country. No one has had the heart to point out the mistake to the Dutch.
