Dutch fun fact
Remember that boy who stuck his finger in a dam and stopped a flood? Hans Brinker?
It’s bullshit. Never happened. It’s from a book. A children’s book, at that.
We pretend like it did and even chose an official spot where it supposedly happened, which is now adorned with a statue, all for dat tourism money, yo.
What started out as a small chapter of a children’s book is now basically the ultimate Dutch tourist trap.

It’s not that people think it happened - it’s just a “hey this is where that book was set!” type deal. London Kings...
