I have been backpacking around Europe for a couple of months, and want to stay here for the rest of the year. I learned yesterday that my visa only lets me spend 90 days in 'Schengen' (whatever that is!)

2* If I stay longer than 90 days, what will happen to me?
3* How can I get an extension of my visa while I remain in Europe? (Don't tell me it can't be done, because that will make me really angry, and force me to ask lots more dopey questions!)
