Hei!

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

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...
