What's in the 100 year old Norwegian mystery package? It's being opened tomorrow 8/24.

Boy, I sure wish I could take naps, 'cause I apparantly need one!

Pshhh... the Norwegian authorities obviously handed down the controversial Breivik ruling when they knew the nation would be distracted by old box opening fever!

I have Kon-Tiki on DVD. I love it. I'll have to watch the dramatisation when it comes out here.

I don't know if this is breaking any rules, but it is a little insensitive.

Not any more than making us watch interpretative dance before opening the package. I was about to jump off the nearest fjord myself during that horror show.

"Inside the package? Surprise! Another package! Inside that, much to my dismay, was not an increasingly small series of packages leading to a pea. Instead, the interior package contained a number of fabrics in the color of Norway’s flag – “from the King,” said one of the package openers. Under the fabric the curators found notebooks, newspapers, a letter, a small drawing, some community council papers and other bits of paper."

I saw that as well. I was a little confused by the autobot symbol on the mast.

The curators returned to the stage without the secret for time travel. Instead, the package contents seem to be primarily concerned with the construction of a monument to celebrate the victory in 1612. The notebooks and newspapers contain ledgers and accounts of donations given to fund the memorial.
