#1 I prefer to think of her as the oldest living person liberated from the Nazis by British and American troops. No need to thank us, though.

I can imagine a column of American tanks rolling through the Dutch countryside in 1944: "Boo! Indian killers! Go home! The Nazis have been good to us! And whatever you do, don't invade Iraq!"

#2 1890? Wasn't that the year Vincent Van Gogh committed suicide and Luxemburg was carved out of Holland? But, polite society doesn't speak of such events.

#7 Dec. 29, 1890 to be exact. If the Seventh Cavalry had waited three more days, Reuters probably wouldn't even have run this story.
