    Pff, you own fault you let Lego on the floor after you played with it for half the night after the kids went to bed?

    I think a shipping freightliner constructed in Denmark would be laughably expensive if they didn't.
    They operate mostly from Odense Steel Shipyard it seems.

    Well all I know is that this guy saw a deer while driving and freaked out. That's understandable tho since those bastards will fuck your car up.

    While hiking through the woods with myself and 2 5-year-olds, though, we saw a fox.

    Foxes are about this big if you've never seen one:



    And this 180+ cm Dane screamed in such a way that I thought it was the 5 year old girl.

    Best. Outdoors trip. EVER

    The world economy and banking system still runs through the USA and UK, and its not like the Nordic countries are higher when it comes to purchasing power. Norway is the only one that's higher than us. I bet the combined GDP of the Anglopshere is more than a quarter of the worlds. Maybe a more fair comparison is Canada and California as our team.

    I believe I read recently that they shifted their actual shipbuilding to asia. Either China or Korea.

    The point is you guys aren't as rustic as your northern neighbors and it's as fun to drag you into the wilderness for a day as it is someone from New York City.

    Eh, most of us are used enough to deer and foxes. Mooses throw us a bit off as well as wolves though. I personally hate nature and all arachnids larger than a button needs to die in a fire.

    The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

    Snus is disgusting and you should feel bad.

    As i said before. 2 norwegians in my class. And one of them is like 182 - blonde hair, long legs, and uses snus. Its just sooooo... not feminine and very Norwegian/Swedish

    Go to Alaska and you can sometimes see Polar Bears fighting grizzlies if you're extremely lucky.
