The Daily Feud: All Things Icelandic by WormtheRed [Game Over]

FTR, I knew that there weren’t many people there, but wasn’t sure how few. I figured half a million was a nice guess, and not too insulting. My state, Florida, has about 60 times your population and is not quite twice the landmass. We also have a dearth of yaks and polar bears, so we are similar in many ways. Come visit some time.

:slight_smile:

The main difference being that Florida isn’t 90% inhospitable lava fields and sand :slight_smile:

lava pies?

Nah, lava* chocolate :slight_smile:
*Hraun means lava in icelandic

Yay, my first feud!

2: 970
3: Tundra

6: 1905
7: Björk
8: Vulcanism
9: Reykjavik
10: No

Earthquakes are a cool natural phenomenon? Nobody else is going to get that one.

That was the only one I tried to think like everyone else, since earthquakes happen in many more places than just here. I guess my thinking was wrong :frowning:

Now I just hope I manage to hit rock bottom like Illuminatiprimus did in the UK Feud :slight_smile:

#5. I’m pretty sure #4-Denmark is right, but I’m sorta guessing on the year. I know it was right around WW2.

#9. I knew I was misspelling Reyjkavik, so I googled it.

Hah! I still ended up misspelling “Reykjavik”. :smack:

  1. Is this going to be scored as normal? If yes I expect a lot of 1pts!
  2. and 6. = Total guesses

And I still haven’t seen one :frowning: We have three volcanoes that are due any time now, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for some action :slight_smile:

You probably have plenty more snow than I do. The ground is gray and the twilight is booooring :frowning:

It just started this weekend. I won’t eat the stuff until the weekend after next though.

Always the funny guy :smiley:

1: 13.2
2: 1410
3: mountains
4: sheep
5: England
6: 1850
7: Haldor Laxness
8: hot springs
9: Reykavik
10: no

Jeebus, I’ll be lucky to get one of these right. Maybe two or three.

ETA: Kicking myself on #5 and #6, because it hasn’t been that long since I read the Laxness book and they were all over Denmark, and 1944.

You define earthquakes as “cool natural phenomenons”? :eek: That must be by opposition to “hot natural phenomenons”, like volcanoes erupting or something. Or else, I wouldn’t want to live through an “uncool natural phenomenon” in Iceland!

The latest Icelandic news: Icelandic government falls; asked to stay on - CNN.com

Let´s keep this thread Feud-related, since there’s another one on the situation right here.

(hey, I don’t want people to miss out on the fun stuff we have happening over here :D)

clairobscur: Volcanic eruptions are also cool! Since they usually aren’t that big and are really funky to watch :slight_smile:

Only 33 contestants so far (including the cheaters)… damn, that’s a lot of chatting going on :slight_smile:

Nope, can’t do this one. I just can’t think of enough reasonable answers. And I know the answer to 9, but I have no clue how to spell it without Google!

  4. sheep
