That doesn't look like cake. That looks like fruit arranged pleasingly with whipped cream or icing decorating them. Is there cake underneath.

Abdhyius

also since I went to the trouble of finding the pictures from last 17th of may, have some more.

yes.

my skeletal hands keep making cameos in these.

on the one hand, if you strongly dislike a thing then posting about it nonstop in a thread mostly full of enthusiasts over and over is kind of a dick move.

but on the other hand, it sounds fucking hilarious and i am a devoted fan of all things troll-esque.

Abdhyius

I've never celebrated the 17th anywhere but in Stavanger.

One notable difference: Hulen's birthday is also on the 17th. So the hulen people have their own little procession.

Organichu

dang

My guess shorter than the Czechs.

Holy fuck are Czechs tall.

Organichu

apparently women in norway are only very slightly taller than women in the US. wiki says 5'5.5" (in a 'comprehensive' study versus 5'7" in a less representative one)

Tav

apparently I have 4000 points

how are points worked out?

Netherlands is your best bet!

Statistically, the tallest people in the world, as measured by country are the Dutch. The average height for all adults for the Netherlands is 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m). This great leap in height is a huge change for Holland, where about 100 years ago, 25% of men who attempted to join the army were rejected as being too short, less than 62 inches (1.57 m) tall.

There are taller people belonging to certain populations within countries. This is especially true of the Maasai people, who live in parts of Tanzania and Kenya. But as a whole, the citizens living in the Netherlands are on average, the tallest people. Even people who have immigrated to the Netherlands from other parts of the world are taller on average than their racial groups in their countries of origin.

Standing next to the Dutch, almost shoulder to shoulder, are the Danes. Average height in Denmark is 6 feet (1.83 m). Americans, who once were the tallest people, have fallen in stature and are on average about 5 feet 9 inches (1.76 m) for men.

Researchers have attempted to account for what makes a certain country have the tallest people and conclude that factors for height include a combination of genetics and nutrition. The Dutch, several hundred years ago, were some of the tallest people in the world. Uneven distribution of wealth, poor nutrition, and years of bad crops certainly contributed to keeping the Dutch shorter for many years. From a genetic standpoint, though, the Dutch could have been the tallest people sooner with appropriate nutrition, especially during early childhood years.

Those who study these statistics suggest that the Dutch emphasis on early childhood care, a diet rich in dairy products and thus high in protein, and a fairly even distribution of wealth have contributed to making the Dutch the world’s tallest people. In contrast, in America, pockets of poverty, which contribute to poor childhood nutrition and lack of available healthcare, as well as immigration of shorter racial groups to America, have resulted in a shorter average height.

Being the tallest people in the world is not without disadvantage. In recent years, the Dutch have had to make changes to building codes in order to provide taller doorframes, and more "height" friendly aspects to each new building and auto design. Further, the measurement is “average height” which means some people far exceed 6 feet 1 inch. Some people are significantly taller and may stand nearly 7 feet (2.13 m) tall, which can make traveling in the average car quite uncomfortable.

Huh, that's not a thing I would've expected!

Actually the comparison would be kind of bad since I know the average American woman's height, but.. I shouldn't compare myself to that, because the average white American woman's height is both more relevant and pretty different.

I wanted to know the price of blueberries in this promised land? I love me some blueberries, but with how expensive they are here, I can only imagine what importing them would be like. Probably fuck up the quality most of the time too, like Argentinean ones.

Holy fuck yes.

It'd be nice to be shorter than tons of other people/tons of women.

Instead of 98th percentile.

Shivahn

Though 98th percentile is not horrific. Still pretty darned tall though.

Abdhy just found out my buddy has a flock of female Norwegian exchange students at his house for a while. Give me some inside info

Organichu

apparently ladies from the netherlands are ~5'6.5"

notbad.obamajpg

Mazzyx

My glorious average 5'7".

Well below average but still with in range.

Ludious

I like unnaturally colored hair

a single line of purple/pink/green/blue in a girls hair can take her from a 6 to a 10

Abdhyius

Buekorps (Bow corps/Archery brigades)

Other stuff:

May the 17th is a cool day to be in Bergen.

Shivahn

I was actually at a couple friends' house yesterday.

The wife is about as tall as me or maybe slightly taller.

But flatter even after just a few months.

I unfortunately can't rub her face in it since I'm not out. But I did giggle.

Organichu

abd get this sea of white faces out of my sight

Mazzyx

Only after I sail the seas of a couple of those women sailors.

I am guessing they are sailors by the anchor on the uniform.

Ludious

I have a love/hate relationship with thick cut applewood bacon. The flavor and the melt in your mouth fat content provide an explosion in your mouth, but it is tempered by the fact that it just can't get crispy like thinly sliced bacon

*sigh*

they weren't imported, they were from our garden.

American blueberries is the type - the ones that have sorta white flesh.

They're navy. Haakonsvern is close and one of the biggest naval bases in Norway.
