Hei!

Seth's Dagbadet artikle reminded me of this Nemi cartoon:

http://spray.nettavisen.no/shared/nemi/img/13.03.06.gif

Translation:

Girl: Are there norwegian fish in thermometers?
Nemi: Hehe... no.
Girl: So where do they get the mercury from then?

Well... now we know.

The scary thing is that Lyse drew this 9 months ago. I'll have to ask her about 2007, then... :huh:
