"Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist and a Nobel laureate who made basic contributions to the structure of the atom. In 1939, he alerted scientists in the U.S. to the importance of experiments being done in Nazi Germany on nuclear fission. During the Nazi occupation of Denmark, he escaped to Sweden and eventually to the U.S. where he joined in the development of the first atomic bomb. After the war, he returned to Denmark where he pursued the cause of peaceful uses for atomic energy. "

So,

Bohr made "basic" contributions (which science lingo means nothing worth mentioning)

He ratted out his country, betrayed it, made a bomb that killed millions, and then spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it

what a great guy!

It's given us quite a bit of our modern English language- law terms too, and that quaint Geordie accent.

Not to mention 'Happy' Hammershoi, world's second cheeriest painter next to ' The Merry' Munch.

Oh, and King Canute, too.


Then there's Hans Christian Andersen, responsible for a film role for the really quite irritating Danny Kaye- and then there's Nielsen, another cheery Dane, giving us jaunty swingalongamusic such as 'The Inextinguishable', and Carl Dreyer with his films for all the family such as:

'Day of Wrath'

'The Passion of Joan of Arc'

'Vampyr'

and that Sunday afternoon and holiday laff-o-rama, 'Ordet':

quote:
...Dreyer secured financing for what many regard as his crowning work, Ordet (1956). Based on a play by Lutheran minister (and Nazi victim) Kaj Munk, the film is a wrenching study of the spiritual desolation and intricate emotional relationships in a rural household. Morten Borgen is the old patriarch of a farm run by his two sons, Michel and Anders. A third son, Johannes, has had a mental breakdown and believes he’s Jesus Christ. Michel’s wife, Inger, and their two daughters complete the household. In a scene reminiscent of what happened to Dreyer’s own mother, Inger becomes desperately ill in childbirth. The possessed Johannes predicts her death, and she dies. Prompted by her daughter, Johannes commands Inger to rise from the dead, and she does.

That's rich - that really is!

You guys support an invasion that has killed tens of thousands of civilians. not to mention over 15,000 US and coalition casualties on a mission that was a complete failure if you gullible enough to believe the official reasons for going to war - and yet you want me to clean up my act...!!?

That is one of the most illogical statements I have seen for a while - even on Poly...

People who supported the Iraq War are the ones with the blood on their hands - you and Kuciwalker might has well have pulled the trigger yourselves on all those American soldiers who have been killed ...

Check out the link - can you look their pictures in the eye!? 1,861 men and women who enlisted to fight to protect the freedoms of their country have been betrayed having their lives wasted - making the world their families live in more dangerous in the process!

What about the Danish soldier who died - have you apologised to his family yet for supporting the policies that got him killed?

I don't see you or Kuciwalker having the balls to back up your beliefs by volunteering to sign up...

And all this time while the US is tied down in Iraq, Bin Laden is still free four years after 9/11 (Did you know that the US helped defeat Germany and Japan in WWII in less time than Bin Laden has been on the run since 9/11!!?), NK and Iran are developing nukes and the Sudan is officially committing genocide (Bush June 1, 2005)!

So no matter how much you try and demonise me, you will never be able to escape the fact that it is your policies and not mine that have got all these people killed in what is, in effect, a pointless sideshow in the War on Terror...

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds and the truly scary thing is that you appear to be either blindly ignorant of that fact or too stupid to realise it!

They were called TMHT in Sweden because some marketing genius thought "ninja" sounded to violent. Probably same story in Denmark.

Denmark has given us the incessant whiner known as Adagio. If we dropped him on Iraq I'm sure all the terrorists would leave in disgust.

Which is probably why Carlsberg thought they could only get away with putting 'probably' because they knew no one would believe it was the best...

If you have to ask why, there's not much point in me explaining it.
