Well after a long and tough winter in Norway that lasted for more than 6 months, finally spring is showing up [img]smile.gif[/img] The cold and dark winter is finally over and I'll celebrate it by sharing some information about how we survive up here [img]smile.gif[/img]
+15°C / 59°F This is as warm as it gets in Norway, so we'll start here. People in Spain wear winter-coats and gloves. The Norwegians are out in the sun, getting a tan. +10°C / 50°F The French are trying in vain to start their central heating. The Norwegians plant flowers in their gardens. +5°C / 41°F Italian cars won't start. The Norwegians are cruising in cabriolets. 0°C / 32°F Distilled water freezes. The water in Oslo Fjord gets a little thicker. -5°C / 23°F People in California almost freeze to death. The Norwegians have their final barbeque before winter. -10°C / 14°F The Brits start the heat in their houses. The Norwegians start using long sleeves. -20°C / -4°F The Aussies flee from Mallorca. The Norwegians end their Midsummer celebrations. Autumn is here. -30°C / -22°F People in Greece die from the cold and disappear from the face of the earth. The Norwegians start drying their laundry indoors. -40°C / -40°F Paris start cracking in the cold. The Norwegians stand in line at the hotdog stands. -50°C / -58°F Polar bears start evacuating the North Pole. The Norwegian army postpones their winter survival training awaiting real winter weather. -70°C / -94°F The false Santa moves south. The Norwegian army goes out on winter survival training. -183°C / -297.4°F Microbes in food don't survive. The Norwegian cows complain that the farmers' hands are cold. -273°C / -459.4°F ALL atom-based movent halts. The Norwegians start saying "Faen, it's cold outside today." -300°C / -508°F Hell freezes over. Norway wins the Eurovision Song Contest. |
Remind me to never go to Norway. Too used to the unbearably hot deep South.

LOL! I've seen variations on that before, but the Norwegians now take the cake.
On a side note, years ago I worked with a lady from Alaska. Honest to goodness, in the month of December in a snow storm in Michigan, she was outside waiting for her husband to pick her up... wearing a sweater. No coat, no gloves, no hat, just a thin sweater. She was waiting for it to get cold, I guess... 'twas plenty cold for me. Fifteen degrees fahrenheit, which makes... about -10 Celcius... and she was comfortable. 'Course, then I married a woman from Oklahoma in the south, and promptly introduced her to what we call cold weather up here... :D |
What do you expect Bungleau? We indians are quite resistant to the cold, best weather of the year really :D

Actually, Gangrell, she was not "native Alaskan" or whatever the politically correct way of saying it is. She was a transplant from somewhere else who had lived there for a few years, and was now transplanted back south.
Still impressive, though. |
<font color="gold">LMAO! This is the funniest post I've seen in a while, Brenn. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
Luckily, most of those facts aren't true. But only most of them. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font> |
