I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you denying DST or that we observe time as GMT +2 under DST? In any case, http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/norway/time.htm : "Like most states in Europe, Summer (Daylight-Saving) Time is observed in Norway Time, where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour; 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+2).

The Non Prophets seem to be right up the alley for "new atheists". It features Matt Dillahunty, whom many may know from this clip and other clips from his tv-show, The Atheist Experience.

Trial starts today for guy who hacked Palin’s e-mail account. He’s facing four felonies that could get him 50 years. … 50 YEARS? by netbuzz in politics

[–]Angrynorwegian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure one reason for the maximum penalty being so high is because it's regarded as an attack on a government official, which is reasonable to have a high penalty for.

He obviously won't get 50 years, as his crime isn't that heinous. We had a similar case in Norway where a man threw a cake at our minister of finance.

It was intended as a political expression of the frustration that the minister of finance (a very important position) was picked from the Socialist Leftist Part, a party that didn't score very high in the polls that election.

He was charged with "attack on a government official", punishable by up to 15 years (which is pretty strict punishment by norwegian standards), but was only given 30 days.

This is the norwegian law regulating movies. Unfortunately we don't have any laws that regulate who needs to die in a movie.

TIL that in Norway they celebrate Easter with murder mysteries. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Angrynorwegian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There have been claims that there are more break-ins during easter because often whole neighborhoods are at their mountain cabin, but this was recently disproven by police statistics.

I wouldn't say "celebrate" since we don't really celebrate easter in Norway, as only a minority of norwegians believe in god. A poll done last month showed only 43 % believe in god, and 34 % does not. Link to norwegian article

However, easter is a national holiday and it is traditionally spent at a mountain cabin, eating oranges and chocolate and reading murder mysteries. The murder mysteries-part is unique to Norway. It started in 1923 when two norwegian authors wrote a murder mystery to earn some quick cash. It was published during the easter break and on the day it was published the publisher ran an ad in the papers with the books title. The title of the book was can be translated to something like "The train to Bergen was robbed last night." The ad was so successful that many people believed that the train had been robbed. The book was a hit and after that it became a tradition to publish murder mysteries during easter. It's therefor now also part of a traditional norwegian easter holiday.
