To be honest, as a Dutch person, I don't understand that joke either. I am impressed by your Dutch skills, I thought you Canadians only spoke French and English with a French accent.

Knut was a polar bear who lived in Berlin, Germany until his untimely passing away. That is Germany and I live in the Netherlands. I hope you Canadians notice the distinction unlike your not all too bright neighbours who don't.

Well, I wasn't petting the polar bear.... the bear was miles away. Plus, we had a ranger with a gun with us at all times.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't have gnats in the Netherlands? I want to know what is the Dutch word for gnat.

Did you ever consider what would have happened if you would have been face to face with that bear? It would strike me as odd not being the at top of the food chain in my country.
