A Norwegian getting all ****y with the Swedes doesn't have
anything at all to do with sanity or rationality. It's like
cats and dogs, Hatfields and McCoys, Wolfie and Dickie.

Its actually a bit of a sport between our northern nations and usually
nobody takes it serious. Our
FM (Denmark) once told the Sweedes that if they didnt shut down one of
their powerplants
10 miles from the Danish capitol we would invade. Their reply was that in
that case they
would bomb Copenhagen with fermented pickeled herring. So the plant is
still there, but I think its
scheduled to be closed in 10 years or so.

Good God man, how long does it take to rot a fish?!
