Of course they spit in burgers, like in any restaurant anywhere on earth! Who wouldn t?

Ppl from Schwedenland™, lazy basterds with no attention to customer service whatsoever.. also experienced the lack of spit in me lamb burger with mint sauce at MacD:s in Mumbai (the one near the butchery ...

..and there aren't riots in the streets here like there was in France..

The riots in France were not Islamic or religious. They had more in common with the LA and Atlanta riots of the 90:s than a so-called "jihad".
Some American and English papers hinted that they were of religious nature.. but ...

Maybe it will open our politicians eyes since politicians in both Norway and Sweden has been so naive and have up until very recently maintained that the biggest security threat is Neo Nazists not Islamists!

I think everything except an Islamist "hate the western world" organization can be ...

well.. almost everything in your map is latin - not english (and i think it´s ok since the map is about the roman empire)
also.. the english names you use were created much later - the english words are usually a modification of the latin names hundreds of years later..
it would be more consistant ...

yes, i guess langobardi would work since the map is from a latin perspective.. it means longbeards of course.. probably another way of saying they were people of Odin.

lombards were called longobards.. lombards only became their new name many hundreds of years after the fall of the western empire when they had mixed with the italians.

crusaders and the ones they were supposed to help

I married my wife mostly because of her personality.
Sex is ok but nothing more since my sexual preference really is plus-sized women.

I find skinny girls are like boys with female genitalia and (hopefully) some boobs, and I will probably live the rest of my life "in the closet" (we´ve been ...

black sabbath surely has done more for hard rock than metallica

You don't seem to be making any sense. You're saying that they were not candidates in the elections that i talk about, and in the next sentence you say they were elected in the precise same elections that I'm talking about.

Nope.. you misunderstand me. They were elected in Sweden and for Sweden ...

In Norway I believe this was the privy council. I don't know how they were elected in Sweden, but that's what I mean by electors.

The swedish privy/high council/riksrådet chose regents for Sweden.. sometimes those were more powerful than the union kings.
They did not have several possible union ...

Is it not true, though, that most electoral position were held by the same families that you mention? Together with the clergy, that was the way it was done in Norway I believe. I don't think I see much of a difference in what we are proposing.

Sweden/Finland never accepted the extensive royal ...

Interestingly, I don't think I've come across any mention of Finland in any resource books I've read on the Union period.
If there is enough space on the map, then it could include the south-western seabord, with Åbo. I believe the bishop of Åbo was part of the collegiate that elected the king ...

I agree with the zooming of the map (greenland was never that important) but I think you should include Österland (aka Finland) and the hanseatic league.

(4) record keeping

yeah that would be one definition that puts sumerians and egyptians among the first civilisations.. although I´m sure there existed more rudimentary ways to keep records even before writing proper.. but enough with my spam.. doesn´t really matter.

Do you plan to include any ...

how could other mapmakers make maps dated before this, if Sumer was the first civilization?


that depends on how you define civilisation..
yes they were (together with the egyptians) one of the earliest people to develop writing rather than pictography..

but there were walled cities many ...

Winter – Ares, Pisces, and Aquarius
Spring – Capricorn, Sagittarius, and Scorpio
Summer – Libra, Virgo, and Leo
Fall – Cancer, Gemini, and Taurus


This does not fit with what signs the sun is in during different seasons.. and not the "cosmic season"s either.. Did you make it up or something?

I am also a swede you know... didn't emigrate until ca five years ago. And I can look at a map.

3. There is obviously more then one definition of "scandinavia".

yes the correct one and a fuzzy "sometimes this and that" one by people who don´t really give a shit about the real definition.

No ...

Yes, this is not scandinavia.. these are the nordic countries in an uneducated disguise. It´s not scandinavia unless you drop Finland.

The servers are in a nuclear bunker in Stockholm, Sweden. Bring it!

... If he's the first, then it is a big deal, imo. Much like Obama being the first (half) Black US President. Kenedy being the first Catholic, etc.. Granted, the scale is smaller, but the point is the same.


except that religion doesn´t seem to have a major impact on how people vote in Canada ...

1) Fall asleep by either watching television or reading...basically by distracting myself enough that it just happens. The only flaw in this plan is that with reading, if I'm particularly into a book, I'll find that it's 6:00am and I never fell asleep because the book was too damn good. That doesn ...

Is anyone surprised by all this?
