Sometimes you need a break at work. It started off that I couldn't remember what the flag of Denmark looks like because there's a guy at work who has a Norwegian flag in his office and when I do my outer hall walks, I see it. And that reminded me once again that I couldn't remember what the Danish flag looked like. So, I got that solved this late afternoon but then I pondered, "is Finland part of Scandinavia?" because they're kind of cousins with Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes but the language is from a different branch of the Indo-European family. So what's the answer? That lead to "what's the difference between 'Scandinavian' and 'Nordic'"? So, I found this neat little web site and found out. I also found out what the flag of Iceland looks like. More factoids stuffed into the brain maybe to be used again someday. Then again maybe not...
