those "twice-killed ribs" got me salivating like scooby doo
Nieuw Zeeland was named by Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer who “discovered” the inhabited island. Zeeland is a Dutch province, a bunch of islands and sea locks. It’s beautiful and full of tasty mussels!I've seen Zeeland credited before as being the place that New Zealand was named after, but I always assumed that NZ was named after Zealand in Denmark? Zealand probably doesn't look much like NZ but Zeeland really doesn't look like NZ either!
To the googles!Aha! Now I know. I've seen Zeeland from Google and noticed it is kinda wet. It makes sense seeing as zee is sea in Dutch/Flemish. (It's almost as if the languages were somehow related...)
I wonder how it became Zealand?
Australia means "Great Southern Land increasing inhabited by Kiwis".

I keep waiting for a Borg scene where they flub the line and say "Impedance is Reactive""Voltage divided by current is futile."
