| 606259 | 2007-10-29 09:01:00 | The World Series is played between the winners of the American League and National League, which currently includes 30 clubs based in certain U.S. and Canadian cities. The modern World Series has been an annual event since 1903, with the exceptions of 1904 and 1994. Baseball has employed various championship formulas since the 1860s. When the term "World Series" is used by itself, it is usually understood to refer to the "modern" World Series exclusively. | beeswax34 (63) | ||

Zealand is the largest island (7,031 km²) of Denmark (excluding Greenland, which is a Danish territory) and the 95th largest island of the world . Much as I'd love to claim it for Denmark (It might have meant my own early settler Danes would've felt more at home?), I fear the Dutch got in first. Zeeland does consist of islands, but it's actually a province of the Netherlands ... ... from whence came that bloke Abel Tasman ... ... from whom came the name. |

| 606263 | 2007-10-29 10:27:00 | Zeeland (pronunciation (help·info)), also called Zealand in English, is a province of the Netherlands. The province, located in the south-west of the country, consists of a number of islands (hence its name, meaning "sea-land") Sea land? Thats what the name of our country means? 33 freakin years and I never knew that.....god damn, It all makes sense....Sea Land. Though I can see why they left, sounds like that country that features in the Dilbert cartoons. The province of Zeeland is in fact a large river delta situated at the mouth of several major rivers. Most of the province lies below sea level and was reclaimed from the sea by inhabitants over time. What used to be a muddy landscape, flooding at high tide and reappearing at low tide, became a series of small man-made hills that stayed dry at all times. |
