    It never made any sense to me that ass is a swear word. It means either a body part or a donkey, neither of which are particularly offensive unless the donkey is performing conservative stand-up comedy.

  • The lake is actually ~99% on Norwegian territory, it's just a tiny edge on the end that's given to Sweden and Finland. We once tried to give Finland a mountain peak though (for their 100th anniversary of independence from Russia), but the constitution states the kingdom is indivisible so the legal work was deemed too much. It would have been their highest peak if it went through.

    Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. ... And a wooden walkway. ... And a big ass cement block. But there's nothing else there. It's a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!

    If you slip, fall and hit your head and loose conciousness during that, in a way such that you are lying exactly on the border between two or three nations, to which hospital will you be brought? And how are insurances going to deal with this?
