Not Cryonics, but I round this off lighter as they do in the News.
Just read here Norwegian men are fishminded, the nice girls there like to 
dress off, and we Swedes are much nicer, hmmm. Don't remember their men, 
being more interested in girls as seem to be polite there.
By the way, Norway earn a lot on oil, the state have no long loans unpaid, 
instead they have a lot saved. Here and in US etc its the other way around.

Thomas, thank you for the background information about Scandinavian people.  
I can understand Norwegian men being "fishminded" since some of them fish 
for a living.  So, the nice girls like to "dress off," well, I can 
understand sometimes wanting to wear jeans and not dresses. :)

And you don't remember Norwegian men because you were focused in on their 
women, you sly dog!  And in Norway this is considered the polite way to be!  
I am quite astonished and would think this would lead to fights in clubs and 
parks.

Hey, Norway's financial situation reminds me of Alaska.  We earn a great 
deal from oil, actually save some of the money, and even give some of it 
back to individual state citizens!

Do you and Anders Sandberg ever visit with each other?  He is Swedish and 
finishing his doctorate in computational neurology.  I would assume in a 
small nation you would know just about everyone. ;)  I spent some time with 
him at Extro-5 and was very impressed by his intellect and big heart.

best wishes,

John :)
