Seeing as how every Scandinavian I've ever met is about 6-foot-6, I
suspect we all ARE dwarves compared to you!

You gotta remember that this place is BIG!  When I saw tBS two weeks
ago, it took about 2hours 15 mins.  Maybe it's better to use time vs
distance to measure?  I'm thinking maybe 150 km?

We were supposed to adopt the metric system about 20 years ago!  They
do use it some in Canada, mainly for distance.  I don't know if they
use metric weight measurement there.  The only people who use metric
consistently here are whiskey distillers!  So they can give you a
smaller bottle for the same price...
