It doesn't stop there, Ed. They actually have two languages of Norwegian that are officially spoken: Bokmål and Nynorsk. Bokmål is supposed to be quite close to Danish. And I've also witnessed a Dane and Norwegian conversing quite easily in their respective languages to each other. As long as the Norwegian speaks Bokmål, I think.
Lindy P.S. I've been spending 10 hours a week at the Helsinki University in an advanced Finnish grammar course, so I found the discussions on languages quite enjoyable. P.P.S. Mainframes rule.

But to be honest after seeing the post(s) about the language several people agree its difficult unless you are a native to figure out which. Again my apologies. I thought the underlying "humor" was more important than the language in anycase. For some reason IBM-MAIN has stopped showing up in my in box so I am web posting until Darren can figure out why I have stopped receiving it.
