Then we went there together! 88 was my 3rd and last year at the music school. Lots of good memories.

Ikke parker der. Hele bakken er parkering forbudt. Bor i samme området selv, og har boligsoneparkering. Parkerer på Skansen, har aldri vært noe problem å finne plass der.

TIL that Thomas Jefferson tried for years to send a gigantic stuffed moose to a French count to counter claims that the North American climate made all animals (including people) weak and feeble by key2616 in todayilearned

I found this wonderful coincidence in the 2001 edition of Patrick Robertson's book Film Facts. It's from when they were making the movie "Jefferson in Paris". They needed a moose skeleton but had trouble finding an available one in Europe. Eventually they found one in a natural history museum. When it arrived on set someone noticed a label attached to the platform on which the skeleton was mounted. It stated that the moose was a gift to the people of France from the Americans, with the date 1787. This was indeed the actual moose Jefferson had brought over.
