How to break Iceland's spirit
Swedish food is...weird. Bad isn't even the right word. It's just the most bizarre combination of things you can imagine.Oh, and pineapple on pizza is illegal in Iceland, but that fact isn't even half as weird Swedish food.
Edit: Apparently pineapple pizza isn't illegal, they've just talked about making it illegal. My point about Swedish food still stands though.

Equality means no mercy
While I lived in England I realized how good we have it in Scandinavia. Norway, Sweden and Denmark have a bloody past with each other, but somehow we managed to put it all behind us and can now tease each other all we want without it turning ugly.If Norway hadn't struck oil they might have been our Ireland today (England can joke about them, but only to a point), but now they're the richest country in Europe so we're all good.

Bye bye ambassador
Soooo Denmark got a tiny bit obsessed with the U.S. ambassador and his husband. They even got their own TV show, and the queen threw a big goodbye party for them where Rufus was knighted.It will be a tough act to follow for Laura.

Break the bars
Fun fact: The Scandinavian prisons are practically hotels compared to most other places in the world, but you have to pay for your stay. When you get out a bill is sent to you so tax payers won't have to pay for your stupidity. The government will then help you get back into society so you can get a job and pay it off.See more of America Sweden Denmark Norway Finland Russia

Epiphany
A Swedish friend of mine works as a history teacher, and he sometimes send me little gold nuggets like this.We don't know if the Scandinavians kept using the English king's face on their coins because they thought that was what coins was supposed to look like, or if they did it because it made it easier to use the coins in England.

Goat Steak
OMG Norway! It's tradition!Every year a giant straw goat is build in Sweden and most years it meets a violent end. Usually by fire, but it has also been hit by cars and kicked apart.
People don't hate it. It has just become part of the tradition to try and destroy it.
