Breaking News - Major Terrorist Attack In Oslo, Norway

[Queequeg]

The mass murderer's behaviour, manifesto and demand for being in uniform when he appeared before the judge yesterday leads me to lean more and more towards ideology being secondary to a massive narcissistic personality disorder and Messiah complex.

I get this impression, as well.  There were a ton of rather well done headshots of him floating around within 48 hours of the massacre, and I read (somewhere, do not remember details) that he specifically sought these services out for just this occasion.  Endless vanity and narcissism.

Well, he's gay. 

Edit: Incidentally, was his sexuality confirmed? I have not seen it mentioned in any news, except in anonymous internet comments. I understand he also used to have a girlfriend at some point (they interviewed some Pole who used to work with him 8 years ago or so in some telecom company's office).

Is it possible to ascribe genes to a country?

Gene Hackman - USA
Gene Kelly - USA
Gene Roddenberry - USA
Gene Wilder - USA
etc.



All Genes seem to be American.

Gene Simmons - Israel

So all genes are either American or Jewish. Figures.

Do Yevgeniys count?

Only because they have foreign name, it does not mean they are mathematically illiterate.

Haw.  Out of curiosity, is that also the Pole version of Eugene?

No. Polish is "Eugeniusz". If you want a Polish version of a name, you have to take an English name, mispspell it, and add a W or CZ or SZ somewhere.

Sorry to ask a boring-ass followup, but do you guys have the "yeh" sound or is an E pronounced "eh" or "ee" (although in that case, however, I'd assume a long "u"?

I know that Polish isn't that closely related to Russian, so it's probably like assuming that Romanian is pronounced the same as French.

[Solmyr]

It's related closely enough that I can understand a lot of it knowing Russian.

E is pronounced like "eh" - similar to the "e" in "bed".

We have the "yeh" sound but it's achieved by putting "e" behind "i" or "j" (e.g. "pies" - meaning a "dog" or "jechać" meaning "to ride"). The sound is slightly different between both, but in principle you get "ie" when it follows a consonant and "je" when it is at the beginning of a word or after a vowel (but sometimes there can be "je" after a consonant, when the word is built from another word with "je" at the beginning - e.g. "wjechać" meaning "to ride into" or "zjechać" meaning "to ride down" or "najechać" meaning "to ride onto" or "invade").

Oh tasteful and helpful. Glenn Beck has likened the Utøya youth camp to the Hitler Youth.

"There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler youth, or, whatever. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics. Disturbing," said Beck on his syndicated radio show.

[Norgy]

I suppose he missed the point about exactly who was armed and in uniform.
