Norwegian's Weirder Than Originally Thought
Topic: World News

We report this story with great sadness, as we have Norwegian ancestry coursing through our veins. It turns out that not only are Toeheads obsessed with cross country skiing, but they also celebrate Easter by reading about murder and watching crime thrillers on TV. This can be attributed to Norway having the lowest crime rater in Europe while having some of the richest citizens and a five day Easter break. Gotta do something to waste the time away, we guess.

"People sit inside their cabins, watch crime on television and then read crime books at night," said book reviewer Ane Farsethaas. "It's a very Norwegian thing to do."


Sure, Norwegian. Or just strange. It's Easter for Christ's sake, and the number one book in the country is titled "Men Who Hate Women."

God why couldn't our ancestors been from Finland?
