Tulipomania

Are you ready for a Nerdy Valentines Day? http://bit.ly/WekHqK
In which John takes you to Amsterdam to discuss the tulip mania that overtook the Netherlands in the 17th century, culminating with the famed flower bubble of 1636 and 1637, the original irrational exuberance. (Or was it irrational?)

This also brings up the point that something so beautiful and desirable to people was a mistake.. A virus that caused regular tulips to grow incorrectly. Sometimes what we see as something that will be potentially horrible and ugly will be breathtakingly perfect.

As the National Geographic Bee reminds you time and again, "Holland" is not an acceptable answer for "The Netherlands".

I learned the other day that tulips are poisonous to cats.
