But what's really funny is that it's only you Americans who call it "danish"... (At least we don't call it "Dansker" or "Dansk", we just call it "Wiener-broed") Can you imagine saying; "Oh I think I'll get a head-start by devouring my usual fellow countryman"??? If there was any Justice, the rest of the world should be calling hamburgers just: "Americans"... ;P Jakob [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
