Iceland is the only foreign nation that maintains official diplomatic relations with Arkansas. It is widely rumored that there’s a subterranean passageway connecting the two, through the lost world at the Earth’s core. Bjork was a cavegirl brought back as an infant and raised in Iceland.
Bjork once killed five swans and made a dress out of them. She found it much easier than making a dress out of captured glacier rats.
Glacier rats are one of the few creatures that breed better in captivity than they do in the wild, as there are so many natural predators for them. The most notorious of these predators is the woolly coyote.
The woolly coyote is well known for its large genitalia. An adult male woolly coyote’s average mass is 45 kg, 35kg of that mass belonging to his penis and testicles.
A wooly coyote once bit my sister.
Woolly coyotes are most aggressive in the late spring and early summer, when they are pining for the fjords.
The all-female band, Testarosaville, played naked on Main Street in Norfolk, Virginia in 2002 as part of a PETA protest against the woolly coyote Bolero jacket industry.
PETA unsuccessfully sued the International System of Units for adopting the prefix “peta”, claiming it should belong to the animal rights organization.
Zachary Heinzerling was runner-up for the prestigious Golden Bubble Award at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival for his searing documentary about the International System of Units and its successful fights against various frivolous lawsuits over the past thirty years. The Ampere Strikes Back was also well received at Sundance, though it was not nominated for a prize there.
Zachary Heinzerling’s father Josephus Zachary “Ole Birddog” Heinzerling Sr. was a college roommate of Spiro Agnew for a brief amount of time.
“Ole Birddog” Heinzerling Sr. earned his nickname at age 74, after the relentless pursuit of his fifth wife, the former Hota Lu Perelli. Heinzerling affectionately called her his “Hota Tomato”.
Many people breezily assume that tomatoes are a fruit. Actually, they are a legume.
A study conducted on Iceland in 1966 found that 55% of those questioned breezily assumed that tomatoes are fruit, 27% calmly knew they are legume, 15% stormingly assumed they are a species of mollusc, and 3% believed they are a geological phenomena expelled from geysers.
Iceland received its current name in 1970 to honor then heir apparent Prince Orri’s favorite supermarket chain. Prior to that it had been an Asda.
Prince Orri is a registered assassin, and has seven rank 3 kills, four rank 2 kills, and one rank 1 kill to his credit (Kim Jong Il). He is also a member of the rock band, the New Spanish Inquisition. (They never book their gigs, they just show up.)
Two members of the New Spanish Inquisition are identical twin brothers Demitri (“Dred”) and Destin Parrottsson. Despite the fact that Demitri wears dreadlocks and Destin is bald, Dimitri always opens the first set by screaming at the audience, “I’m not Dred, I’m Destin!”
The New Spanish Inquisition was started by a renegade cleric in Madrid in 1998, to cleanse the country of non-Catholic influence. The movement lasted three days. Everyone DID expect this.
:: haha, I screwed that up. Misspelled and the wrong brother. I get the booby prize

That cleric once shot a man for snoring too loud. Read all about it in book one of the Time Life series Madmen of Madrid.
Madrid, 1975-'76: local authorities are stymied as to the motive(s) of a 30-ish year old black man who wanders the streets at night hollering, “Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.”
