A fact from Java Ho! appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 January 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that De Scheepsjongens van Bontekoe (three main characters pictured), the 1924 Dutch children's book based on a real-life shipwreck in 1618, has sold more than 250,000 copies?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/January.

That's why they call it brandewijn ("burning wine" or "burned wine"). Sca (talk) 15:09, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
