It is the weekend, and so one imagines all the Norwegian Free Republicans, our allies in the War against Terror, are aquavited and lutefisked out, not likely to recover until Monday or Tuesday--also, it being the weekend, "light news" is about all we can expect from Norway, the Nebraska of Europe.

I am however curious about the final paragraph of this story; did poor Eirik get dubbed a nasty name, or is the English translation of it suitable for Free Republic?

Now Dr. Batman needs a nurse named Robin. :~ )

Mjelle, now Anders Batman Mjelle, told the paper that the idea came to him while he was practicing his signature during a prescription class.

I guess medical school isn't as hard as it once was.

"Ping" for the Norway ping list.

In case no one else has noticed, there ARE real genuine authentic Norwegians hanging around Free Republic; one just has to look for them.

I heartily recommend the postings by eurotwit--although his emphasis appears to be on the War against Terror, and Arab emigration to Europe--which include some of the most top-notch, high-quality, first-rate, incisive, cutting-edge news stories.

One does not even have to bother reading the headline or the abstract, before opening the article--if one just sees that eurotwit posted it, well then, no matter the subject, it is well worth reading.

And then there is tomjohn77, who yesterday afternoon (Friday afternoon) posted an interesting thread, about how because of the politically-correct environment, men in Norway are forced to do the jobs of both men and women, while women get away with doing just the jobs of men, and not their own too.

That was a provocative thread, but it, uh, sort of died, and no thread should die before its time. And so if one is inclined, take a look, and if one is inclined to respond, please do, so as to juice it up, put some life into that thread.

I think I've got that beat. About 10 years ago I was treated for a bone chip in my left elbow by a physician in Lititz, PA. His name was -- and I kid you not -- "Dr. Superdoc". Kinda reminded me of that Joseph Heller character in "Catch-22", Major Major.
