Guess Famous Non Living Thing Game

Nordic language, yes.

(Is "Norse" correct? I associate it with the language spoken by the vikings, but you know English much better than I do, of course.)

How about Norway then?

Yes, it’s Norwegian.

Bravo!

I knew it would be a bit difficult, but that’s the charm of it, isn’t it? I have seen this monster myself, when it was in Sandvika outside Oslo. It’s too noisy to be driven on public roads, so today it’s only driven in closed areas (and not very often, I think). The car in the stop-motion movie is, of course, a miniature model, the full scale model was made later. In the movie the top speed is 400 km/h (or maybe more, the second speedometer stops at 400), in real life it’s only 180.

I’m crossing my fingers for Syriza and Tsipras. The communist won’t even talk to him, and he refuses to talk to the nazis, of course, but 2/3 of the Greek voters said no to the new bailout, so maybe – just maybe – New Democracy and PASOK will change their minds. A new election won’t solve anything at all.

From a novel?

Fantasy?

Science fiction?

Sometimes I have telepathic contact with my wife, but for some reason or other it’s always about banalities (like a song, a person or a fictional place in a sci-fi novel).

Is the author still alive?
