I'm listening to "Israel" by Birmingham 6. Wake Up From Your Sleep Or Go Back To Your Grave Remember Your Star Remember Israel

Welcome to the forums, Scratchy. What country are you from?

Yup, Mjölner/Mjolnir is in his right hand. The statue depicts the battle in which both Tor and the Midgård serpent (Jörmundgand) is killed. At spring and summer the serpent's mouth is a fountain. I'm guessing that it's supposed to be its poison. Nice statue Mr Michel. The serpent is...

Statue of Tor and the Midgård serpent.

In Sweden the norm is to take off shoes in apartments or houses. No one keeps their shoes on without asking if it's okay. At work and other public places shoes generally stays on. But throughout the daycare center and grades 1-6 I had to take off my shoes. Caviar in Sweden is probably almost...

Doesn't anyone have sympathy with the rape victim?

I'm quite fond of this edition. There's a certain class to it. http://www.akademibokhandeln.se/db/cc/cc_main.getBook?cisbn=9172632186 http://www.akademibokhandeln.se/db/cc/cc_main.getBook?cisbn=9172632194 http://www.akademibokhandeln.se/db/cc/cc_main.getBook?cisbn=9172632208 But I'm also...

The television show Spongebob Squarepants is quite entertaining. The movie doesn't look very promising though. Cartoons seldom seem to do well as movies for some reason. One of my favourite cartoons when I was shorter was "Eldorado - the city of gold" or something similar to it. They had a...

I meant not so posh caviar for use on bread sandwiches or eggs. I personally don't like to eat eggs without caviar for example. I copied the question from an old questionnaire but it's mainly for yankees, I don't see as many canadians exclude the country in their profile. I thought that only...

There are some things about the north american culture that I'm curious about. Is the norm to keep your shoes on when you enter other people's houses and apartments? Even during the winter? Is it likely to find the less fancy red caviar in food stores? Do you use it on sandwiches? Does it...

I'd recommend Robert A. Heinlein because of the rational view of individual liberty that can be found in many of his books. I've only read "Farewell to Arms" by Hemingway and I can't say that it gave me very high opinions of the man. I have nothing against the prose but I couldn't stand the...

The german version is titled "99 Luftballons". If you translated that title to Swedish it would be "99 luftballonger".

I've translated the following from a German song so it might not be entirely proper. Ständig mild men med våld Träng ditt svärd i mig Förhoppningen, hon är död En gestalt, inte längre du Så kallt som stål blänker Utan en känsla Natt fullgör nu detta rummet Ditt ljus, det bländar mig...

I'm mostly surprised that you could translate "lördag" without cheating since there's no similarity in any other language except the scandinavian as far as I know.

This thread looks like advice for selfmurderers.

Jag lånade nyss tre böcker av bröderna Strugatskij. "Picknick vid vägkanten", "Måndag börjar på lördag" och "svårt att vara gud". Filmen "Stalker" av regissören Tarkovskij är löst baserad på "Picknick vid vägkanten".

I haven't read "Choke" and "Diary" but I can recommend "Lullaby", I thought that it was better than "Fight Club". I also concur in the recommendation of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time". Dead dogs can't fail.

Those of you that use post-its, do you use those gluey things in library books?

Wonderful. The "Bush and Blair love song" is also quite nice at Read my lips P.S. Try Dj Adolf if you want some NS techno as background music on your parties. My favourite track is probably "Es spricht der Führer".

I'm reading the third book in the series. Third one excluding the prequels that were published later. Don't wanna get your teddy bear mad at me. Knock on.
