I found a version of the Oregon Trail game online for free! I don't know about anyone else, but this game took up a large chunk of my childhood, and it was really fun to play (even if everyone ended up dying from cholera). I've been thinking of playing a game and taking screenshots so we can have something kinda like the Hunger Games simulator, would anyone be interested in joining the party? (there are only five slots, so there won't be many people per game). This thing probably isn't nearly as enjoyable to anyone who never played it as a kid, but I have a fondness for the pixelated graphics ^-^

Ahhh my childhood! I'm totally interested! :D (although I don't know if I can play today since I'll be in class until 9)

Sometimes I forget just how tiny Iceland is and then I'm suddenly reminded. Today Justin Bieber is apparently here because:

Bieber ordered a chicken sandwich - the staff member still in shock

Justin Bieber in Iceland: visited Lemon* in Reykjanesbæ

Bieber used a public toilet - heading towards the Golden Circle**

...and many, many other equally important headlines...

* a juice shop
** the big three -trip: the waterfall Gullfoss, Þingvellir and the Geysir area.

I'd be interested! I never played it, but I remember my dad talking about it. ^.^

*rolls eyes* sorry to all beliebers among us, but I do not like him as a human being (to put it mildly) and I would very much like to give him a special tour of Þingvellir and the geysirs. That's a tasty looking kalkunsbringa though, I hope he liked it.

In Iceland's defence they made a really massive deal out of his visit to Norway some years ago.

Yes yes good keep him there, we don't need him here.

Fun fact: he's from the same area as some of my family friends and they used to see him playing on the steps of the church when he was little.

I just remember something vague about a car being torn to shreds by raging teenagers and Bieber escaping in a boat. Or was that One Direction ... I'm so out of the loop.

Not too fond of him either, but please consider our reputation. This year we have lost seven tourists already and that's more tourists dying in accidents than Icelanders...

It would suck if he died of course. No idea what the news article means, but the guy in the picture looks annoyed so I guess it happens pretty often. Do people die at thingvellir and near the geysirs though?

We played (and won) a hockey game to get rid of him, maybe you could try the same?

Dinosaurs are so cool! It's amazing how they can even determine little details like that.
Not knowing anything about those particular findings, but positive proof of coloration is usually only possible when the respective part of the fossil did not get fossilized [= original material replaced by rock] and still shows the material's original color.

That proves it, you have some dark sacrificing rituals going on there! :P
