#4 Typical Viking barbarity.

Where does that word barbarity come from, anyway?

#5 Mr Davis - from the Latin "barbarinus" and Greek "barbaros," themselves derivations of the Proto-Indo-European 'barbar,' meaning "strange, foreign, ignorant" and thought to originate as a derogatory immitation of the babbling of foreigners who didn't speak the language. Thus, people and/or behavior who are not like "us," therefore foreign, strange, bad, possibly dangerous.

Woops. Sorry. Librarian attack under control now.

#6 The truck contained not only a dead Iraqi, but also a load of pastry, and sausages from back home. Those Danes are probably hungry and homesick. "That Iraqi try to steal our milderpoese. I haven't had any good sausage in months."

#7 I'm sure there will be a followup article linking the shooting to the scandinavian beer-drinking episode posted yesterday.

Anyone know how to send a case of lager to Fajullah?

It's spelled "medisterpolse" and they're quite tasty too.
