In Dutch, “haai” (shark) sounds very similar to “hi” (the English word), same for “hooi” (hay) and “hoi” (hi). Which leads to this hilarious comic I saw once where a shark meets a bale of hay ^{edit: somehow I typed bay of hale}

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source

Also a thing in the Netherlands!
