In fact there are Canadian's who think Toronto, ON is 4000 miles from Vancouver, BC when it is in fact 2491.6 miles by road (according to the "AAA Map&Go" software, shortist route). But what is 1500 miles between friends (GRIN)?

Hi, again,
Gee, Thrainn. I was only joking. Not about Bjork being smokin', which she is, but about whether you knew her. I knew Iceland was a small place, I didn't know it's that small.
And, I know how to spell "Icelandic", BTW (that was a type in the earlier post).
It's funny, but you saying that you've seen Bjork shopping, and mentioning how small your country's population is, reminds me of an ongoing Canadian joke about Americans. It seems that almost every Canadian I know tells a story of visiting the US, and when the Americans find out we're from Canada, they'll say "Oh, I have a cousin in Vancouver, maybe you've met them." Of course the answer is: "Well, there are 35 million Canadians, and Vancouver is 4,000 miles from Toronto, so no I haven't met your cousins."
Enough rambling. I've got to cut down on my off-topic ramblings anyway... <vbg>
cheers, frank

Sorry about the previous message. I hit the send button by accident.
I dont know Bjork personally. I've only seen her a few times shopping and so
on.
The population of Iceland is only about 280 thousand, so sooner or later you
see everybody. For example, I met the president of Iceland at a kiosk the
other day.
