From a mailing list I'm on - http://producten.hema.nl/. Let it load, and then wait a couple of seconds.

That's awesome! And in Dutch, so I actually understand it. I'll have to send it to Tom and his mom. I bet lots of his family will like it too (he's/they're Belgian/Flemish). :-)

I understood bits of it because I could see that some words were related to words in English.
"Pan" was the easiest. "Fluitketel" -- given the picture, the "ketel" part was obvious. "Loep" -- the cognate "loup" is used in a restricted sense in English.

Oh -- and "rugbybal" and "ghettoblaster" were rather easy.

That's all kinds of fun.

just curious... what kind of newsletter hinted you to this HEMA website?

Not a newsletter - a mailing list. In particular, a 'techies fun' list. A significant number of us are MI Tech University alum - there's a lot of computer geeks, several chemists or chemical engineers, at least two rocket scientists, at least two oceanographers, some high-energy physicists, some modelers, a bunch of amateur demolitions experts (some categories may overlap).
