More and more unknown people lay claim to their fifteen minutes in the limelight. Today two of them could be seen on the front page of my local newspaper “Sogn Avis”. Under the headline “Rare Breed”, they are shown in something which allegedly is a wrestling pose. I’m not a prejudiced man, but there’s something […]
Etter å ha flytt attende til Sandane frå synda sin eigen heimstad, Oslo, har frende Anders A Fitje teke initiativ til ei tilstelling i litteraturen sitt namn, Gloppen Boksete.

The anti-piracy organizations have a great challenge in trying to pass their message through to the vast multitude of Internet users who by now have grown accustomed to having unlimited amounts of free music and films freely available at their digital door-step.

Yet, nobody seems to be able to predict these things, only “postdict” them, which in all fairness isn’t such a useful gift. The Futurist has since 1985 […]
The character Doc Wilson in the film State and Maine introduced the world to the ill-forged statement: “never trust a man in a bow tie”. This entirely baseless statement has since been embraced by all those who due to lack of ability are forced to wear regular neck ties or, worse still, cannot even manage […]
