I love ice cream and I like to try out different flavors and things, but this is a little over my budget:

Hm, I don't know what's so special about an 1850s spoon, but at least you have a cellist perform... but only if you order a day ahead. 

And if you should have enough money for the previous little ice cream specialty, than maybe you could also consider this one:

Okay, it's for a good cause but I think I'll stick to the ice cream I buy in my local super market.  If anyone is interested... don't forget that you can bring a friend for only $25,000.00... 

Have you ever seen bigger idiots than these?

We had to wait a long time for it, but on the few last days of the Olympics, Belgium finally won medals. Our 4 x 100 m women won silver yesterday, but today was even more amazing. Our high jump hope, Tia Hellebaut, won GOLD!  

Wonderful!

Did you ever wonder how certain machines work? Well, here's the answer at last:

Can someone please explain to me what the point of diet water is? Or did they finally invent zero calorie water?

Diet water: All the flavor of regular water but with only half the calories. 

After one week of Olympic games, Belgium won an impressive 0 medals. The best so far was sixth place.

We should have sent these instead. They probably would have done much better.

Elizabeth: Belgium always sends an equestrian team to the olympics, and they are usually not too bad. But it's been years since we won any medals in it. Jumping is on the go now, and after the first jump, our competitor is only 14th. We already know how that will end.   

While looking for something else on the internet, I came across this picture:

I first thought they did a really good job photoshopping this, but than I went to the mentioned site www.dinnerinthesky.com and saw this:

This is certainly not recommendable for someone with fear of heights or a weak stomach. Having dinner 50 metres (about 180 feet) up in the sky isn't really my idea of a relaxed meal either. It's probably an unforgettable experience, but I don't think I would feel very comfortable that high up.

And what when you have to go to the bathroom? No problem, they say. It's like in a normal restaurant: you ask the waiter where it is and... you go down. It's just a bit less discrete because the whole table has to go down with you.

How much does it cost, you may ask? Well... ahum... 8.650,00 Euro (12,965.47 USD) for 8 hours.  At least they roll out the red carpet for that amount.
