Mind blown. Job done.

No, I know what it means. I'm telling you that "mørk" is the origin of the english word "murk".
As in murky? Murky depths? You drove past me completely, I think

I can usually polish a Litre of wine and be ok the next day. I only way about 165 or so.
The key, eat something that is bread with it. Pizza, or a sandwich, during the drinking.
The other thing, also drink a Litre of water, spaced between the glasses.
No hangover =P so long as you get enough sleep too.
Sure keeps you regular though
I tend to always be in the bathroom the next day.
whoops.... that might have been too much info.

Bjorn knows what I'm talking about, though. Maybe he knows a way? Well? Do ya, punk?

It's be easier to teach a donkey to do backflips than to teach an american how to pronounce your last name Fred, but I'm sure it'd be just as entertaining, so let be give it a go.
Okay, american, pronounce the word "brewer", in your head. Now, pronounce it again, without the "r". Now you're saying "booer", as in a person who boos. But you're pronouncing the "r" wrong - you have to trill it. How to do that? Think of the name "Eddie". Think of the way you pronounce the "Edd" part. No replace that sound with the "er" from "booer" with that. Now you're saying "boo-edd". Now, you're almost there, but you're pronouncing the "boo" part wrong. You're saying "boo" like a ghost. Totally wrong. Replace the double "o" in "boo" with the sound you make when you see someone eat a booger, namely "ew". So now we have "b-ew-edd". "B-ew-edd". Fred B-Ew-Edd. Got it? Good.
Bests, Rockefeller
The "Bew" part was always obvious, but then Edd comes in and destroys all expectations.
Ah well, there's always Czech to learn.
