Vatnafjallajökull giantest glacier in all Yurop!

Iceland stronk!

Iceland is great they have the best elevators

wut

Merc don't hold out on us man we know you got the sweet know-how on those geysers and elevators.

Like i mean i knew it was a "country" the way Antarctica is a continent and shit but I didnt realize there were enough people there to have a government and whatnot.

It's actually a really nice place Chris. It's Greenland that is the icy shithole

I was referencing what I thought was an EN conversation but it looks like it was actually in this thread. Who knew?

I'm not sure what sort of burn you're going for there. It seems a bit abstract. It's not a burn, really... I just figured that what with you being Icelandic as well, you'd have as much access to those things as Ari. It'd be like me asking Jeff to get me pictures of hockey players or Tim Hortons. Unless I'm totally wrong about Iceland, in which case never mind, and I'll go hum quietly to myself in the corner. awk

Our parliament was founded in 930, the oldest standing parliament in the world.

I still don't understand the elevator part.

It was actually a running gag with ari at the time.

In the death trap thread we were talking about elevators being dangerous and he said.

Ari @ 9/7/2012 16:49

tbh Iceland really doesnt have many high buildings that require elevators. Thinking about it only one spings to mind!

Which lead to

Ari @ 9/7/2012 21:00 Ninefingers @ 9/7/2012 20:52 Do you ever gather up the family and go on vacation to the elevator? Are there any other places to go on vacation? None even half as cool. Ari puhlleeeaaase let me come on vacation to the "up and down box" with you all the next time you go!

Oh, Ari was in the old university, mine had elevators where we would take turns going on vacations in.

Niice

JC @ 5/4/2016 11:54 Dadd @ 5/4/2016 12:10 Not sure what the past three posts were all about Bad guy do bad thing and hide lot of money in warm place. Now bad guy out of job. It's more than that, he and his wife have a company in Panama which has millions of dollars worth of claims to the three biggest banks in Iceland after the bankruptcy. He sold his share in the company to his wife for $1 one day before new transparency laws came into effect. And he has been as PM negotiating bailout/whatever terms of those banks. BUT HE SAID HIS WIFE DIDN'T PROFIT AT ALL FROM HIS WORK AS PM. So it's all good, right?
