Old Norwegian Poem.
(Note: Norwegians are not always duly acknowledged for their poetry.)

PS I recently acquired a Kenwood R5000 from another OM who has no more use for it, which is nice (for me). Fine radio.

Of course, tell that joke now, and the little girl would have to speak Polish… :)

Are you all right? It’s over three weeks now.

I’d be pleased to know that you are still going to continue to write.

We cannot know, but they _also_ possibly came up with the seemingly revolutionary idea of sticking two wheels on a pre-medieval ploughshare and oxen-team. The evidence is disputable and it may have happened simultaneously, like within a century, in several places in NW Europe and Britain. (Just think of the advantages and the output-amplification-factor…)

I think they also discovered Aspirin. Invented the concept of Organic Chemistry. Oh and there was those chappies, Planck, Einstein, von Braun, you know, that lot.

But I don’t think they conceptualised gravity, saw cells first, spotted many new planets, built and quantised the power output of steam engines, constructed 40% of the world’s railways, had a very large Merchant Marine (they sank most of ours twice, using our inventions) or invented valves or transistors (Dr Schottky did improve the former very much though.)
