Time to give you people out there some Friday fun! This is the world history from a Norwegian perspective by the Norwegian comedians "Raske menn" (Fast men). For all of you that don't know Thor Heyerdahl is a quite famed Norwegian explorer and he used to speak English like that and was always used for anything because he was so so famous... (or maybe not?). He also leaded the opening show at Lillehammer when we hosted the Olympic games in Norway i 1994, as you might have figured out.. I think this is so funny that I cry, even though I must have watched it about 50 times.
*For you that are not Norwegian:
Asbjørnsen and Moe are two men that collected all the fairy-tales of Norway in the 1800's. The fairy tales are very common in Norway and everybody knows that it should be ESPEN not ODD.
Det kom et skip til Bjørgvin i 1342 - is a book describing how the Black Plague came to Norway. Used frequently in Norwegian schools and often used by people my age to remember when the Black Plague really took place... (What was the name of that book.... hm ... :)
Sputnik: Also a Norwegian country artist with a horrible song about Johanne.
