“Oslo is a city without a city culture. Nobody here comes from a city. Everyone comes from somewhere small.”

This was told to me while we were ordering drinks at the bar at Dr. Jekyll’s Pub. I found the idea intriguing, but also, I really had to pee

Did you know that rune sticks were the Viking version of cell phone text messaging?
An wife might send a kid down to the pub to deliver a rune stick to her husband, with the inscription: "Get your arse home, dinner's ready".

And there's Viking rune "graffiti" left behind by Vikings all over the part of the world where they went. They just carved their names, or things like: "Olaf has a big dick", or the Viking equivalent of: "Sigurd is a douche".

Btw, the black and grey birdies are crows.
Ravens keep to the highlands and mountain areas in Norway.

Ah, thanks. I'm up on my corvids at home but haven't learned the finer points of them here.

And it is true. Olaf was such a dick.
