Downloaders will get shot

That's the message of a new anti-piracy public service announcement that's been circulating on Youtube. Luckily it's not from the MPAA, but the British sitcom The IT Crowd.

You know you have been in Denmark too long when...

Denne liste er formentligt skrevet af en amerikaner bosat i Danmark.

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN DENMARK TOO LONG, WHEN:

You think there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

You think its normal to pick up a girl in a pub, walk her to her bike and ride with her back home.

You understand why not every type of meat can be put together on top of bread.

You think its impolite to sit next to someone in a bus if there is a bench where you can sit on your own.

You go to the supermarket and buy three good beers and 10 not too good ones.

You can open a beer bottle with almost anything.

You honestly believe that the distance between Copenhagen and Aalborg is long.

You can tell the difference between a Grøn Tuborg and a Carlsberg beer

The first thing you do on entering a bank/post office/pharmacy etc. is to look for the queue number machine.

You accept that you will have to queue to take a queue number.

When a stranger on the street smiles at you, you assume that:
a. he is drunk;
b. he is insane;
c. he is American;
d. he is all of the above.

Silence is fun.

It no longer seems excessive to spend 800 kr. on alcohol in a single night.

You know that "religious holiday" means "let's get pissed".

You use "Mmmm" as conversation filler.

The word "yes" is an intake of breath.

You have only two facial expressions, smiling or blank

Traditional dinners may not necessarily mean a cooked meal.

You forget how to open canned beer.

Can't remember when to say "please" and "excuse me".

You will leave a pub if you can't find a seat.

Your wardrobe no longer has suits but blue shirts and mustard colored sports jackets and lots of denim.

You don't mind paying the same for a 200-metre bus ride as you do for going 10 kms.

You don't look twice at businessmen in dark suits wearing white sport socks.

You start to believe that if it weren't for Denmark's efforts, the world would probably collapse pretty soon.

You find yourself more interested in the alcohol content than the name of the wine.

It feels natural to wear sport clothes and a backpack everywhere.

You know the meaning of life has something to do with the word "hyggelig".

You are very surprised when you receive compliments about ANYTHING - including your appearance/clothing! In fact when you do, you find it suspicious and start thinking they might have ulterior motives.

You've completely forgotten what a "date" is - no one ever comes to pick you up and unexpected gifts are VERY unexpected.

You don't think it strange that no one ever comes by to visit without being invited and you never show up at any one's place unannounced either.

You wouldn't dream of coming even 10 minutes early to a party. (Once around the block is always an alternative)

You find yourself lighting candles when you have guests - even if it is brightly sunny outside and 20 degrees.

You offer people strange-tasting brown alcoholic liquids with their coffee in the MORNING!

Don't we love Denmark??!!

What's The Matter With Denmark?

A special report on Danish imperialism. It appears every last corner of this planet is infested with garish Danish culture.

Tents disguised as cars

Prices of metropolitan hotels got you down? No worries. Michael Rakowitz' P(Lot) project has the answer for cheap stays in the city: car cover tents! Plop one down in a parking space, feed the meter, and you've got yourself a campsite

Grunden til sommeren var længer da man var barn

Logaritmisk tidsopfattelse: Først er man barn, derefter er man voksen, og til sidst dør man. Tegningen nedenfor viser en meget forenklet illustration af livet således som det tager sig ud på en logaritmisk akse for en person som blev født i en alder af 9 måneder og døde som 75-årig.

Ud fra ovenstående tegning kan vi opsummere nogle konsekvenser af den logaritmiske tidsopfattelse:

Livet er uendeligt langt, men desværre i den forkerte ende.
Man er barn lige så længe som man er voksen.
Jo ældre man bliver jo kortere bliver afstanden mellem fødselsdagene.
