Explaining parallax and other measurement errors to idiots is a very... very trying task. I'm no physics whiz but it's a pretty straightforward concept.

Meh, I had that, not a bit fan.

Would Swiss cheese give a better reading? Their chronographs are extremely accurate

Wait,

Pretend that you never heard President Esteban Mandzij, and that all this time it was actually President Stefan Mænsïj.

Holy crap... There are easter eggs on the game????

There are several easter egg issues.

So I've been reading a book series in the last few weeks and with the latest book taking place in Denmark, I learned some things.

1. They are very... well...

'“Do what you want, but don’t stand out too much. And do you even know what language they speak in Denmark?”
“I can manage overseas using body language! Beef or fish! Sightseeing!!”
He may have been hallucinating due to the cold because he started shouting nonsense and running through the white scenery. He spotted a man clearing snow from the roof of a pastoral brick house and he began trying to communicate with the gestures of a broken robot. After a few minutes, he returned. His drooping shoulders suggested he had not had much luck.
“What did he say?”
“He said acting out in your youth is fine, but this winter is too cold so we should stick to
car sex if we want to let loose outdoors.”
“I-I’m going to destroy this world!!!!"
He was forced to physically restrain the dying magic god. He unexpectedly gained some warmth from her skin. '

2. They like Mythology.

'What’s with the statue of a muscular macho man? Does sliding it aside reveal a stairway below it?”
“That’s a statue of Odin, aka me. You can find these statues all over Scandinavia.”
Below the chilly sky, he looked back and forth between the lovely girl and the macho statue.
“Well, there goes the beautiful girl image… Hey, just how much were people afraid of you?”
“Sh-shut up! That’s how I was treated in one of the worlds in the opposing mirrors!! The
information about me is not always accurate, but it’s still a record left by a third party. [...]"
“But why is the statue wearing nothing but pants and a cape? Then again, with you…”
“If you say ‘I could see it happening’, I’ll punch you. Keep that in mind.”'

3. They are expensive.
'"A-anyway, we need to buy coats. Please don’t tell me there are only made-to-order tailors
around here.”
“What kind of place do you think Denmark is?”
“Let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised to come across items named ‘herb’ or ‘potion’
around here.”
[...]
“It looks like a cheap one will only cost about 2500 krone. How much do you have?”
“Sorry, I don’t understand krone.”
“2500 would be about 450 dollar.”
“How in the hell is that cheap!? Does that coat have a CPU inside!?”
“C’mon…”
“Don’t you dare bring up my ability to support myself. I’m a high school boy who was
launched overseas with almost nothing but the shirt on his back!!” '

[...]

'“See, they have batteries,” she pointed out. “Let’s break the glass and take one.”
“Shut up, you Viking. The door isn’t locked and it’s theft to take it just because no one’s
around.”
As they spoke, the two of them entered the deserted office. It was an unfamiliar site for him, but it seemed to have simple food and other daily necessities in one corner. The lineup was greater than a train station store and less than a convenience store.
“We just have to leave a bunch of money on the counter, right? Denmark doesn’t have a tipping system, so the unexpected extra money should make the worker happy. About 500 krone should cover it.”
“Sorry, I don’t understand-…”
“That’s about 90 dollar.”
“Why is everything so expensive!? Can that battery play Blu-rays or something!?”'

4. In the winter, it's cold.

'“Th-this isn’t good. My teeth are chattering from the cold. W-what country is A Dog of
Flanders from? I feel like I’m experiencing the authentic version of that.”
“Don’t worry. That was set in Belgium.”
“Phew.”
“Denmark is the home of The Little Match Girl.”
“Oh, god. That’s fifty or even a hundred more steps into the realm of tragedy!!”'

So, yeah. Just felt that would be a little relevant. You know, because Scandinavia.

Close enough, it's a light novel: A Certain Magical Index: New Testament Volume 10.

Yes! Top 10% in the world for least corrupt. WOO!
