Well, for the life of me, I don't see anything wrong with "Lie-Andreassen;" it sounds like a perfectly good name, in Norwegian, to me.

"Eplet" roughly resembles "apple" (if one has a great deal of imagination), which coincidentally is one of the oldest words in English still in current use (others include "gold" and "bad").

One wonders if the eplet came before apple, or if apple came before the eplet.

"Ping" for the "Norway ping list."

Mondays must be a slow news day in Norway, the Nebraska of Europe.

I see nothing wrong with this apple-lation.
