One of the many similarities Nebraska, the Norway of America, has with Norway, the Nebraska of Europe (omitting the superficial geographical characteristics, of course), is that more than half, but not quite two-thirds of those in Nebraska who join the military services, join the U.S. Navy, and the very best ones, the U.S. Marines.
"Ping" for the Norway ping list, which is growing by leaps and bounds.
Well, last night (Tuesday night), one learned what "sells" Norway; the "women's angle," in this case, news about clothing. The "views" meter on that story had the numbers racing faster than the digits on a gasoline pump.
My personal favorites however remain those stories about the wary Norwegian border guards catching guys who think they are smarter than the Norwegian border guards.
I doubt if anyone from that fine newspaper, the Aftenposten, reads this, but if some reporter there did a story about bison in Norway, well, I will send flowers to one of the two English translators on that staff, a handshake to the other English translator, and five pounds of Nebraska beef--too good, too expensive, for Norwegians to possibly afford--to that reporter.
Bad link.
Master Sgt. Phil Mehringer's article has a bad link.

Interesting site.
Thanks.
