Come on people! These names are just made-up (except for Eddy Merckx who was actually Scots).

Never used them personally but I've been told they are salty.

Who was the guy who brutally murdered millions of congolese... King Leopold II?

edit: Yes, I think that was him

This is turning into an interesting and diverse list.http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

Rubens, the Henry Ford of 17th century art.

Edith Piaf, a singer you've all heard.

The song was featured in many movies, including Bull Durham (1988) , Babe: Pig in the City (1998); Bernardo Bertolucci's film The Dreamers (2003), the Coen Brothers' film Intolerable Cruelty, and it is featured extensively in Christopher Nolan's 2010 film Inception - its the song that 'kicks' them awake.

I would support 'Le plat pays/Mijn vlakke land' as the Dutch/Flemish national anthem http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif



Dutch version with English 'sub' titles
(If I knew russian I could probably find the 'embed' button)

A bit stupid for me to post here but still:

Jean Baptiste "Django" Reinhardt (1910-1953), the Belgian guitarist, affected the course of American jazz and contemporary music long after his death. His characteristic style was rooted in Spanish classical guitar, but enhanced by improvisation and virtuosity.

Demeyere http://www.demeyere.be/, but only cooks with lots of money would recognize that name.

I've seen one of those movies, so I will take your word that I have heard the singer and the song.
