Spaking of Donald Duck, a while ago someone told me that Americans like Mickey Mouse but never really cared for Donald; that it is Europeans who love Donald. I can't help wondering why this would be so. Why would Americans love the well-meaning and well-adjusted but ineffectual Mickey, who speaks in a falsetto vocie and never says anything other than exhorations like: "Pluuuto! Stop it!" or "You stupid mutt!" The Europeans show their superior judgment by rooting for the temperamental but dynamic duck, who engages with his surroundings in a much more committed and significant way.?jevind L?ngJohn Swanson
Hey, I didn't organize the Bloodbath of Stoclkholm! :-p

Prove it. Provide the links that show that you didn't. You deny it, and I know why: it's out of sheer evil anti-Swedishism!
Now you can start frothing from your beak.
