TIL nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down" origins are unknown. There are similar rhymes across Europe, pre-dating the records in England. One origin was the supposed destruction of London Bridge by Olaf II of Norway in 1014, Old London Bridge was damaged in a major fire in 1633 and many more

Olaf II of Norway was officially canonized in 1164 for bringing Christianity to Norway in the 11th Century. Modern scholarship, however, says that he most likely played a minor role in the Christianization of the country. How and why did his role in the Norwegian conversion become so overemphasized?
King Olaf V of Norway travels by tram to a place where he can ski. During the oil crisis in 1973, the king of Norway did like other Norwegians: he used public transport to get around (960 x 642).
This guy’s been inside the Norway pavilion shop since I was a child, and it reminds me of Maelstrom every time I see it. Frozen isn’t bad, and the Olaf animatronic is amazing, but I miss Maelstrom.
TIL that in 1163, Norway declared St Olaf II (who had been dead for over a hundred years) its "perpetual king", with all subsequent kings officially serving as his vassals.

Olaf Jansen traveled north past Svalbard and ended up in the inner earth. I'm willing to take the same journey and livestream it to either disprove/approve the hollow earth theory since I actually live in Norway. But how can I obtain the funding since Kickstarter prob won't take it seriously?
Disclaimer: I'm not a believer of the hollow earth theory or rejecting it. It is fascinating and interesting. Either it's true or it's false. Why not just go check right?
So look at this: The Smoky God. Also to those new or ignorant of the hollow earth theory. At the true northpole (the no fly zone) you'll apparently sail gradually inside. One of the takes on it, is that there is a hole at the north and south. That the aurora borealis is coming up from the central sun. This matches Admiral Byrd's statements of his expedition to the arctic.
To put it simply. Living in Norway. I'm willing to quiet literally - hire a captain and a boat to livestream the trip up there to investigate. Following both radar, and other measurements. Some people claim radar is manipulated by the government. I want there to be no doubt so... I think it was a gyroscope? Haven't looked into it yet but someone told me there is tool you can use at sea to travel in one true direction.
I've looked around and... just taking a boat up there sounds easy in theory but is actually quiet expensive. I fear that if I post on Kickstarter people will think it's a scam or that I'm not serious. So I'm wondering - how do I obtain the - converted to USD - roughly 11500 dollars needed? I'm not sure what the best place to crowdfund this is.
According to many people talking about this, if I end up succeeding with the funding I'll be scared into changing my mind or murdered before I go. And if I go we will be - in the BEST case scenario. Met by military navy or something forcing us to go back. Worst case just get dumpstered and sunk, with the disappearance blamed on an accident with the boat. With 4 sides of the boat having livestream cameras - this would limit the options of sabotage and such.
This would hopefully provide solid evidence for - or against - the hollow earth theory. Or at least provide some new insight. In my case, I'm willing to physically take the trip, simply for no other reason than feeling adventurous and finding this conspiracy theory fascinating.

In July 6, Kaiser Wilhelm II set off on a cruise in Norway and returned on July 27. How did he react to the Serbian rejection of the Austrian-Hungarian ultimatum?
I know this is a niche question, but I was reading Encyclopaedia Britannica and I saw that on July 6, he had given assurances to Austria-Hungary that Germany would support them in a preventive war in the Balkans. He then went on his annual cruise to Norway. Why did he go on this cruise while Europe was so volatile?
However, when he returned on July 27 it was stated that he informed the German Foreign Office after learning of the Serbian reaction to the Austrian ultimatum to tell the Austrians to relent on the war and settle for a temporary occupation of Belgrade. Was Wilhelm trying to prevent a general war, or was he dismissive of the thought?
Also, the GFO during this time was encouraging the Austrian chief of staff to pressure Franz Joseph to declare war. Did the Kaiser fire foreign office officials that acted while he was on the cruise?
On this day in 1066, in the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Harald Hardrada, the invading King of Norway, is defeated by King Harold II (Godwinson) of England.

POD: In the year 1940, the UK is sucessful in stopping the Nazi invasion of Norway. How does this change the course of World War II?
When Olaf says, "Well, at least they have their parents. Their parents are dead." Like right after, that was absolutely hilarious in Frozen II.
That part was actually funny.

Another thing I noticed during my rewatch of charades: Josh "cheated" the same way Olaf did in Frozen II (unless you don't consider rearranging as cheating 🤣).
