Mysterious 100-year-old, "Do not open till 2012" parcel in Norway set to be unwrapped

[Lera213]

I bet it is a bible. LOL

 

[SieSie]

Bagpipe performance and violin performance still to come, it'll be awhile before they actually open the package, IMO.

 

[Lera213]

Oh just open the dang thing...they must know what is in it via Xray...why all the music and speeches?

 

[SieSie]

I bet it is a bible. LOL

Maybe a map to Atlantis? Or the cure for cancer? Proof of alien life?

:floorlaugh:

We can rule out that it's who shot JFK, and hope that it's not anthrax or something similar. :what:

 

[Lera213]

That song sounds like "True Colors" by Cindy Lauper

 

[Cazzie]

I hope the ceremony is watchable later.

And I hope this isn't a publicity stunt...I already want to visit Norway, LOL. So, back off, Norwegian Tourism Board!

 

[Lera213]

well the headline during that time was the Titanic sinking

 

[SieSie]

Oh just open the dang thing...they must know what is in it via Xray...why all the music and speeches?

:doh: I hadn't even thought of x-raying the thing! I wonder if anyone ever did that?! :waitasec:

 

[wfgodot]

Oh awesome, they're repeating what was just said in English! :woohoo: I was worried if they opened it and it was a letter, that I wouldn't know what it was anyway!

Some of the Norwegian words really sound like she's saying "the f word".

"Pule" is apparently the actual Norwegian "f" word. "Føkk deg" is the vernacular for "eff off."

 

[Lera213]

Balkan wars too in 1912 would fit all the speakers talking about "we come together with peace" blah blah blah

 

[Lera213]

:doh: I hadn't even thought of x-raying the thing! I wonder if anyone ever did that?! :waitasec:

I'm sure they did, a safety issue!

Can we?

I'm hoping that it's "The Secret Of Life".

 

[Lera213]

I've seen better dancers on "So you think you can dance" show. LOL

 

[boston_baby]

they are really milking this for all it's worth...

 

[wfgodot]

Of course they are. How many times are the eyes of even a fraction of the world on Otta, Norway?

 

[Lera213]

A book of Poetry...then they'll auction it off for millions. This is all about the build up, to make the item worth more then it is.

 

[Lera213]

drum roll.............................

 

[wfgodot]

I believe IKEA has those tables.

 

[Cazzie]

Maybe it's my family's long lost recipe for rye bread? Much better than pickled herring or lutefisk (ack).

 

[SieSie]

It's open! Documents and letters...

ETA for those not watching: They're wearing white gloves, going through the many letters and documents. Just found a newspaper, letters from the United States...
