Team U.S.A. bandwagoner, we've traveled far and wide together. From the giraffe-free shores of Ghana to the sleazy nightclubs of Portugal and into the hellnest of Germany, where the U.S. Men's National Team skated by on a technicality for an advancement we didn't exactly earn. And now we're meeting with Belgium and I know what you're thinking: Who? What?

Mixed feelings about the Antwerp Zoo's newborn baby aardvark. On one hand, it is a snuffling baby animal of exotic origin. On the other hand, it resembles the alien offspring of a naked mole rat and a hand-held vacuum cleaner. [Zooborns]
Two Four people are dead after a man (men?) threw as many as four hand grenades at a bus stop in Liège, Belgium. One of the dead is apparently an the attacker; there are seven critically injured and 47 injured total. And apparently people are saying it was part of an attempted jailbreak?

This is the third such incident this summer, after storms took out stages in Ottawa and Indiana, the latter killing five people.

Do not cross Google—especially if you're a powerless Belgian newspaper. A group of Belgian newspapers sued Google for posting their articles in Google News without their permission and won. Now, Google has banned their websites from search results.

Last month, Belgians took off their clothes and some members of parliament stopped boning to celebrate tying Iraq's world record for days without a government, at 249 days.

What did Belgium do to Red Eye's Andrew Levy? We've never really given the country much thought, to be honest. But apparently someone at Fox News' second funniest late-night offering has been deeply offended by the nation and wants revenge. Did you know the Belgians murdered Paddington Bear and are so stupid they fish for cows? We're guessing that Greg Gutfeld (or one of his writers) was either stabbed or dumped in Belgium. Or he's still not over his Chimay hangover. (Thanks go to intern Shannon for the clip!)
Che is a Belgian men's magazine. So it's not too concerned about pleasing women, or what women think, or not royally pissing off women in general. Here's the only thing Che wants from women: their ass! Amirite bro? Gimme some! The ad pictured at left shows gals strolling around with tags on their ass that say "Please Squeeze Here." Ha, yes ma'am! High five! Whatever the Belgian equivalent of the National Organization for Women is is really asleep at the wheel. Below, three more spots from Che's meat-themed ad campaign, proving once again that Belgian sex advertising is truly a world unto itself:
