Hey, Norway, I already said I was just kidding

Okay, this is somewhat unsettling: it seems the Norwegians, not being so sanguine about my last post (see below or click this link), may have tethered something of an electronic contact mine in the path of my internet surfing.

I was minding my own business, reading some on-line fiction, when I was struck by the author's odd use of the term, meander. I googled the word for images and found a site with an interesting photo of a river's convoluted path.

When I went directly to the site's current home page, I was confronted with a picture of Norwegians supposedly in spontaneous community service! What's more, I was bullied with a video taunting me with the fact that Norwegian has three more letters than the English alphabet. This was their proof that their culture is superior to our own. (WARNING: the lyrics in this video include two "F-bombs.")



Now I'm really worried. I will make this plea: if I should die unexpectedly, please be certain that my demise was due to natural causes—and not some nefarious revenge plot by the Norwegians!
