It is never cool when people leave rocks in the middle of the field you are plowing. However, this particular stone happened to be a boundary marker for the border of Belgium and France! So the farmer inadvertently made Belgium 2 meters larger and France 2 meters smaller. Thankfully authorities on both sides found the incident amusing...so long as the farmer put the marker back!
