    Are you religious?

    Do you enjoy Sweden? You guys have some great SC2 players.

    If you were a tree, what would you be?

    A fish lands on your head. What do you do?

    Not really. I take a lot of inspiration from Norse paganism and I am agnostic but no, I can't say I'm very religious, I take neither things very seriously.

    I love Sweden. :) Beautiful country.

    Oak, very magnificent and history rich wood.

    Wonder where it came from and I'd probably go wash my hair as quickly as possible since I'd feel disgusted by the fish.

    Did you know an alternate way to spell 'Fish' is 'ghotti'? Are you annoyed to all the references of fish in your questionnaire? Do you think we are all racist bigots because we draw Sweden with Swedish Fish?

    That should make you question my sanity.

    :)

    No, but I do know that you can spell Fish as godis. :P
    I'm not annoyed, more like happy that I finally have met people that doesn't connect Sweden with IKEA.

    Did I mention IKEA makes crappy furniture? As cool as it looks, it's not very durable.

    And Sweden is an amazing place. I'd love to see the birthplace of Helvetica.

    Did you know Helvetica was created in Sweden?

    It's all about how you construct it. :)

    No idea who those people are.

    We don't have any specific product sold called "Swedish meatballs", but IKEA meatballs are delicious. :D
    You can stay with me at any time hun. ;)

    I enjoy hats in general. Sometimes I like wearing caps, sometimes fedoras, right now I've got a ski hat with Norway's flag on it. :D

    First: You have a nice country! I've been there a few times with my parents. And I think I'll come back.

    Are movies in Sweden still in english with swedish subtitles?

    Do you know that German publishers want to exchange the title of the father of Pippi Longstocking/Pippi LÃ¥ngstrump
    from "King of the negro" into "King of the southern sea" because of political correctness? I think it's silly. What do you think about it?

    economical question: What's the influence of the "euro crisis" on your country? The situation in Germany is better than anytime before.

    stereotypical question: In the last food scandal someone found horse meat in the IKEA meatballs. Why not moose meat?

    Yes. :)

    I don't care much for it. I can see how negro can be offensive on one hand, on the other it's apparent that it's just a name and it won't change kids much. My family has throughout my entire life called black people negroes and I've turned out alright anyway.

    Swedish economy is faring very well as well, I mean it's not as good as before the crisis but we've survived very well in comparison to other countries. :) I'd say we'd be as strong as Germany if it weren't for the rather large youth unemployment here, as well as the few inhabitants we have in general. You know, the more inhabitants the stronger GDP and that yaddah yaddah.
    Because moose are sacred animals in Sweden. :P

    Nothing honestly, more than it's kind of a Nordic animal, so it's something the Nordic countries are associated with, like Russia is associated with bears and the US with eagles. :)
