Let's Talk About: Iceland

Not about Bobby Fischer, but rather how Iceland is basically the US now.

From the late 18th century, a variant of karnoffel (a 15th Century Viking game that Gillipig probably plays) called Alkort was the most popular card game in Iceland.* Now the most popular game is Bridge. So, do you think the Icelanders should start paying taxes to Obama?

The #1 movie in Iceland: Man of Steel.

* Check out a hilarious reference in this book:
"Well I am no worse off" said Sigrid in an undertone at the same time endeavouring to tread on Indrid's foot so that he might understand that she had the deuce of hearts but instead of this she unwittingly touched her mother's foot under the table
"This play will not count either" said Ingveld when she looked at her cards and saw that the nine of clubs was her highest card
"you were trying to signal to Indrid and trod on my foot instead you hussy! I believe you steal from the pack too and that's the reason I can't draw a good card"
"Indeed I wouldn't do such a thing mother dear"

The only animal native to Iceland is the Arctic Fox.
