Norge Walk-About

FAKE HORNS

In the continuing saga of walking the streets of Norway, I ran into hoards of students wearing horns (right) on their heads, engaging in a drunken bar crawl. There are pods of 8-10 students in each group. I immediately thought of Austin, TX and the solstice orgies. They use real antlers in Texas. 

School starts next week and this is their chance to pledge a fraternity and drink to excess before they have to knuckle under and go back to the grind.

Did Vikings have fake horns?

UNISEX RESTROOMS

Norway -- Fancy Urinal

It's not as bad as Greece - but somewhere around half of the public restrooms in restaurants are gender neutral. I find it weird standing at a urinal with a woman washing her hands sort of next to me.  Yes, the women meat gaze.  

A story was run in the Norwegian newspaper, Aftenposten, involving a proposed school regulation that would require boys to pee sitting down. Schools in Norway have unisex restrooms and the girls are now complaining that the boys have poor aim and are leaving the seats wet. 

“When boys are not allowed to pee in the natural way, the way boys have done for generations, it is meddling with God’s work,” Kleppe told the newspaper. 

“It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl,” Kleppe said.

I can't imagine Vikings suggesting that men squat to urinate... Just saying. What happened to Norway?
