Ah, but not nearly as interesting now, is it? :D

Ah, Finnish. I *thought* it looked like a Nordic language, but I too looked at .to and thought maybe it was some funny Mauritian language or the other.

Finnish isn't Nordic, except by courtesy. The Finns hacked their way off the steppe into Europe along with the Estonians and Hungarians. Those three languages aren't even Indo-European.

I thought .tv stood for Tivioli or something? My friend said it was some small fishing island with a population of like 200 whose major export was the domain name .tv..... *dunno*

Tuvalu. Collection of bits of coral strung out along half the Pacific. Gonna be awash when the ice caps melt. Tivoli is a computer-related company that a friend of mine works for in Texas.

This pontification brought to you by the letters e, g, o and the number i. May contain nuts.

Also a large garden or park in Copenhagen.

Well, I know l33t, but I would probably understand this better if I'd actually read the book. :oops:

I always said I'd read the book before the movie. :oops:
