-The correct response to the Irish greeting, "Top of the morning to you," is "and the rest of the day to yourself."

i was told that the correct response was "and the rest of the morning to you"

Why would it be the rest of the morning?

Yeah, I knew that. I once had a debate with a kid about which would make a better guard animal--a wild boar or a wolf. In the end, the wild boar won.

Actually I heard that before. Though I refrained from posting it for obvious reasons.

Well, we don't restrict ourselves to that, but yes......

Haha, guess I just know some weird people.

So this isn't OF.

The Bonobos monkey, is the only species that uses sex to greet each other and conflict resolution. They also don't... ummmmm "discriminate" against gender or age.

I don't think it's that odd, considering they're our closest relatives. People's sexual inhibitions are largely cultural.

Gabbe · « **Reply #39 on:** 19 October 2010, 15:54:48 »

It is od, considering them being gay

Norway is "comfortable with todays internet applications" together with other countries, weird is however, Iceland Sweden Denmark and Finland is "ready for tomorrow". so we loose in internet battle here in Norway, despite being one of the richest countries in the world...Canada and UK is by the way also on the list. Germany, pwns all however (not wierd, all servers are there... -.- XD

) More weird is, however the US is pretty low..

Broadband connection test of countries, what quality and stuff, saw it in Norwegian but i havent cathced the english spoken site yet..

Yeah, unfortunately. It's probably because we're so spread out. Connecting Seattle to Miami would be a bit of a challenge compared to any two places in Denmark.

Too bad in most parts of the US the price for an internet connection isn't low...

Gabbe · « **Reply #43 on:** 20 October 2010, 15:01:22 »

Now the much snow is coming to Norway! yay finally some epic paintball matches and snowball wars!

ultifd · « **Reply #44 on:** 20 October 2010, 21:45:14 »

I wish sometimes that it would snow where I live...but also sometimes, not...

Meh, just wait till you see Canada... I'm surprised that USA and Canada are tied, since Canada is even more spread out (northern half of canada = isolated wilderness

). Plus, USA has more larger ISPs... Hmm... Oddities...

True, but Canada's major cities aren't that far apart. They're all in the narrow strip along the US-Canada border that isn't nigh-uninhabitable tundra. Anything north of that... well, that's why you have dial-up.

Or in my case, satellite.

I thought chimps were our closest evolutionary ancestor? Aren't bonobos monkeys, bot great primates?

How can you guys miss the tail dancing dolphins?
