Isn't it "funny" how the Second World War keeps affecting the lives of people even now?
Recently, in the Belgian town of Evergem, a bomb weighing well over 900 kilograms, dropped by the Americans sometime in 1944 to take out a German fuel depot (or so I heard) was found during renovation work at Total Company.
Lots of people from the neighbourhood were evacuated while the bomb was being defused.

Actually that was a promotion for Ken Burn's WWII Documentary, because we're still fighting the war...at least I am an I wasn't born until the 1970's.
