| Hey, LizardKing. Northern Norwegian is considered by many to be the most beautiful accent (though, of course, there are variations. I think southerners prefer Troms-Northern over Nordland-Northern). I mean, heck, I'm from | |||

Curling should be the only Olympic Sport, since, well, 2002 Olympic Men's Curling Champions: Norway  (I watched the final match against Canada while chatting with Colleen, I remember. Well, Chatting and taunting him. )The Norwegian Olympic Team is going to suck. We were the 2000 Olympic Women's Football Champions, for 2004, the team didn't manage to qualify.  Our Women's Team Handball team, which usually is among the best in the world, did bad in the last World Cup, and thus didn't qualify, either. Then there's Trine Hattestad. 2000 Olympic Women's Javelin Throw Champion. Now she's retired. Beach Volley. We have some good Beach Volley teams. However, they might not be allowed to play, because the Norwegian Olympic Committee refuses to abide by rules set by FIVB (The International Volleyball Federation). The Norwegian Olympic Team basically have none left of the usual prospective Gold Winners. The only chance I see for us taking any gold is in men's rowing and paddling. We have some good guys there. Else, no gold for us... Of course, all in all, it doesn't really matter. Summer Olympics isn't exactly our thing. While we are the nation with the most Winter Olympic gold medals in the world, we hardly ever win anything in the Summer Olympics. |

| Though there are not many broad misconceptions about Norway, because most people don't know jack about Norway, it is hard to debunk any misconceptions. I often see many misconceptions from people who claim to have knowledge about Norway, and it is those misconceptions I'm answering right now. First of all, this country is not as cold as one may think. Granted, we are one of the northernmost countries in the world (the whole country lies about as far north as Alaska), but because of the warm Gulf-stream, the country gets heat. Greenland, which lies as far north as Norway, is 99% glaciers, Norway has only a few glaciers. The Gulf-stream helps a lot. On the other hand, during winter, it gets colder than many people could imagine. Some places in Northern Norway have had nearly -50 C during winter. One misconception which was big during the 1960's and 1970's was that Norway was a free-sex-loving hippie country. Granted, Norwegians generally are more liberal when it comes to things concerning sex and the roles of the two genders. That doesn't mean, however, that we all have sex wherever and whenever we want. Norway does not have limited technology. We have one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world, actually. The communications-devices per capita in Norway is higher than most other Western countries, actually. Finally, one misconception that I saw was common among many Norwegian-Americans, was that all Norwegians love the dish lutefisk. Most Norwegians have never eaten lutefisk (I've had it once, and it tastes horrible), it's an old dish which is not made much more in Norway. Also, some misconceptions about Scandinavia. Based on what I've seen from movies and TV-series that try to portray Scandinavia, I say this: Fritz and Helga are German names, not Scandinavian. Lederhosen are worn in Alpine countries, not Scandinavian. And finally, Finland is not a Scandinavian country, neither is Iceland. Scandinavia is only Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The term "Nordic countries", however, refers to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. |

Hey, 18 is the greatest age of them all. You're allowed to start drinking and driving (preferably not at the same time). Of course, not in the US, but in my country, that is.  |

| Why is it that it seems only oldbies/staff get the joke? Is there's something about this community's special humor that you have to get used to? | |||

| Basically, when your plane lands in Oslo (or Stockholm), everyone's all nice, until you've settled in. Then we put our helmets on, and we take turns raping and pillaging them. It's really a great scheme. | |||

| Err, Rock, Paper, Saddam, that is. This made me laugh, I hope it will make some of you guys laugh. If you've seen it before, you can either show off your l33t-ness by posting how old a joke this is, or you can decide it isn't worth wasting your time posting only to say you've seen it before, because the thread obviously wasn't meant for you then, anyway.  |
