I found a cheap Game Boy on eBay.

Wait... it says "used" not "mint" or "new" (which it technically isn't) ... so that means the side they are not showing is opened... thus overpriced.

@Klumpen LOL! That was fast! So, what type of props do you want?

old handmade worldmap, digitized. Inaccurately shows Netherlands as a set of isles...

I was able to find "Popira"... but have only perused 20% of the map so far.

Germany looks mangled, too.

I'm concerned that somebody picks that up and makes a movie named "rhineelsharkNADO"...

That probably wasn't too far from the truth at the times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Netherlands_compared_to_sealevel.png

Seems to be italian in origin, unless that's latin I'm misidentifying. Actually, it bears the name of this dude on it, who was born while Christopher Columbus was still alive. Their route seemed to go around the bottom of south america then their boat was stripped bare by the locals when they landed in indonesia or malaysia or somewhere round there. The drawing of north america on there probably comes from Columbus' records alone.

where that picture is used, @levi, nice quote from Pliny here about nederlanders:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_control_in_the_Netherlands#History

There, twice in every twenty-four hours, the ocean's vast tide sweeps in a flood over a large stretch of land and hides Nature's everlasting controversy about whether this region belongs to the land or to the sea. There these wretched peoples occupy high ground, or manmade platforms constructed above the level of the highest tide they experience; they live in huts built on the site so chosen and are like sailors in ships when the waters cover the surrounding land, but when the tide has receded they are like shipwrecked victims.

Never mind. I had a little trouble decoding ible's phrasing there, but it was likely as much my own problem as his.

i was only mentioning that the place on wikipedia where that image is used has a funny quote about nederlanders, though my post wasn't using complete sentences...
