World-spanning? Definately not in the Netherlands. The above is near
to complete jibberish to me, as far as actualy meaning is concerned.
Nearly everything referenced in it seems to be something cultural
and/or local that I've never heard of before.
I like the Superman one better. At least I get that one (the
character played by Richard Pryor in Superman III called our
kryptonic friend Sub, right?).
