TIL:

* if you see a small pond on the dry side of a dyke and it winds around it, that's where a breach happened

* the New York Stock exchange is still paid 2.5% annually on an eternal bearer bond, issued after a major flood in 1624. It's on display there.

* I'm paying for that (it's my water management tax district)

* there was a major flood on New Years Day of 1624 (from a river close to Utrecht)

* always insist on inflation adjustment: they only get €15 now
