just look at Gustav being all handsome and healthy... typical Norwegian jætte behavior!
norwegian jaette got me interested, but wasn't able to find anything on the concept by googling. What does it mean exactly?
Apparently they're called jötunn in English, but basically they're troll-like creatures from Norse mythology, who live in the mountain and do all kinds of antics, like drinking our politicians drunk so they can take our oil (even though that's mostly a myth Danes like to tell each other), and create a Norwegian version of Esperanto (Nynorsk), so they don't sound Danish, when they talk! Typical jætte behaviour!
(And just for people, who don't know the situation in Scandinavia, even though Norway used to be a Danish colony, there isn't bad blood between us, but just friendly banter. That's because in the case of Norway, Denmark did the only ethically responsible thing to do. That is to get drunk and hand over the oil fields. And we both like to tease Sweden, because they get so easily provoked)
