    It probably came form the ship's name Zeehaen. The original spelling was Nieuw Zeeland and it was not well interpreted into English Regardz Colin J Davies

                In The Netherlands. Zeeland (a tiny city and a provice) Calculate where the antipodes are and you will come to The Netherlands. Also the first guy near Australia was Abel Tasman (a Dutch guy) hence Tasmania(n devils)

                        Last century a couple of countries had to visit Europe on a couple of instances to solve the problems. 1. Kaiser 2. Hitler 3. Slobodan M Has Europe finally got its crap together and won't need re-invading this century? And why does a geo-political area with such a history of instability require such appeasement now?

                        Europe will never "get its crap" together. There are just too many cultural differences. There will always be something for us to disagree on. Hopefully this disagreements won't be as violent or savage as those you mention... but I doubt it. Michael :-) Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana

                          Luccely it's alway ex-europeans coming to the rescue, except maybe for the US army that now has also a great number of *afro americans* (how I hate politically correct naming). So I guess it's just a question of helping your relatives

Europe has more or less been in a state of war for the last 2000+ years (ranging from tribal wars to full scale country/alliance vs country/alliance) wars. I think 100% of us will have had it in 50 years or so. Why bother killing eachother when there are more important things to do? Preferred storyline: - I am your father. Search your feelings and you'll know it's the truth. Together we can rule this galaxy like father and son. - Ok dad. Let's kick some butt!
