That was hilarious :)

ObLinguistics:
Which language was that? Danish or Norwegian? At least the correspondance
between the actual pronunciation and the orthography wasn't particularly
high ... hell, do they speak fast! At I found it funny that there was quite a
number of congnates compared to German, so that I could understand bits of
the (Norwegian|Danish) subtitles without reading the English ones, but I didn't
understand any familiar word in speech.

Yours,
Carsten
