For insiders only : two Belgian ministries, one with a shaky reputation, the other with a bad reputation, are quarreling over expenses. No problem really, because in one ministry, they cannot count ; in the other one they think that one plus one is four. You decide which is which.

Stupidity reigns, not only in Belgium. A seventy year old German, who has lived in Switzerland most of his life, wants to become a Swiss citizen (good for him, better late than never). But a local official has decided that he has to follow a German language course. No exception can be made. The guy is not planning to follow the € 150 course. (And no jokes please about the fact that I could use a Dutch and an English language course : I know!)

A Greek fake "surgeon", with apparently very good forged credentials, was so incompetent that 25 % of his patients died on the operating table.
