Famous Belgians

[PhilD]

Having resurrected Plastic Bertrand's 'Ca Plain Pour Moi' for the latests Clarks ad reminds me of the old question of 'How many famous Belgians can you name?'

Well, here's four to start with - Gerardus Mercator, the 16thC map-maker; Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone; Django Rheinhart, jazz guitarist; and Jean-Claude Van Damme, action-film hero. See http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Tielemans
/hp4marc.htm for 238 others. (As with Canadian notables, Belgians often suffer from being mistaken for being of another nationality.)

Aren't we all forgetting the surrealist artist, Rene Magritte? :)

Herg� was the pen-name of Georges Remi, the Belgian artist who created the 'Tintin' stories.
