I know what your thinking, but just stop. This won't happen to you. You'll just get all sore and sweaty from walking around. Maybe even sunburned. Return to the couch like the good lord intended.

This, but with "you're" used correctly.
I went metal detecting in my back yard once. I found a rusty spoon and a 12" length of pipe!
I also went on an old farm and found half an ox shoe. Neat!
I didn't know they made shoes for half-oxes.
Thats just two less shoes than for a complete ox.
It's more likely two fewer.
Technically fewer shoes are also less shoes (at leastif I translate to my language lol)
No, shoes are countable, so it's "fewer."
I don't want to get off the couch either, but I'm sure he was thinking the same thing.
Captain Sabertooth coins,” said 51-year-old Erlend Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate.
what's up Norsemen, who's this Captain Sabertooth, and why don't i know him.. i didn't know i needed a fictional Norwegian pirate until today, but now i need one very much, thanks, that sounds brilliant..
It's a childrens story character. Kids in Norway are crazy about him. He is one of the main themes in the zoo/amusement park in Kristiansand. They have a midnight theatre (23:00-00:30) with ridiculously high production value. Went there this summer with my four year old twins who had an absolute blast of a time.
O.O this place??
https://www.dyreparken.no/english/english-abra-havn-the-pirate-hotel/
that looks awesome
Yeah! Dyreparken is Norwegian for The Zoo. ( dyr = animal)
Dyr = Tier = Deer
For those wondering, in Old English deer used to be a more general term for animals before it changed to the modern meaning.
Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.
It's pronounced almost the same as deer. But the Y is pronounced as the Y in rythm.
That's a completely made-up word, so nobody has any idea what sound that's supposed to be.
Every word is completely made up if you think about it. But are you saying nobody knows how to pronounce the Norwegian word Dyr, or the English word Rythm? Either way there are millions of people who disagree with you.
I assume they're commenting on the fact that you misspelled the word 'rhythm.'
I see. I didn't know that rhythm had two H'es. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll let it sit so that the comment chain makes sense. I can't say that the other comment was in any way helpful though.
i sy
Brings back memories. I haven't thought about that place in years. Glad it's still awesome.
i don't know him, but i'll bet Captain Sabertooth would say you found the real treasure, matey
thank you! i really want to visit and probably just stay in Norway.. if i went to a Norwegian Pirate Zoo i know i would never come back..
Go for it if you can afford it! It's really expensive by Norwegian standards. We didn't live at the park, sans the one night we were at the show, but at a friend who lives in the neighboring city.
ah that's cool when you can call on a friend nearby.. it sounds like a dangerously cheerful place, i gotta see it.. i'll start saving my pennies..
Captain Sabertooth is a dangerous man.
It says so, in his song.
It turned out to be nine pendants, three rings and 10 gold pearls in what was described as the country’s gold find of the century.
Huh. I knew gold is one of the few metals that you can find in pure elemental form in the Earth's crust, but I had no idea it was already forged into pendants and jewelry and stuff! Geology really is fascinating.
Obligatory comment about how good the British show The Detectorists is.
One of my favorite shows of all time. Fairly mellow.
10 gold pearls
So do you put gold in an oyster or what?
Back to the couch?
idk if i missed it, but no mention of the time period of the relics?
"Date from around A.D. 500, experts say"
Hmm, guess we'll never know
Hmm, kanskje æ også sku ha gjort det...
Tror staten skal bare ta myntene, men artikkelen sier at han skal få belønning
Yes, yes, I agree. Du lukter dritgodt and all that.
I agree; shallow and pedantic.
