Mostly those in the south. Slovenia and Croatia are a bit brave too, but they are more like western European countries nevertheless.

I imagine spending a lot of time being shot at tends to loosen your gun laws :)

The Proto-Germanic verb tawojan became tun in German and do in English. In Swedish it is extinct, although it exists as tæja in Icelandic. Swedish has the noun dåd=deed, though.

A friend of mine was born a Serb, grew up in Tanzania and South Africa, moved to New Zealand and married an American, finally settling in Washington state. She is a writer, loves to travel, and sometimes produces articles for travel mags in addition to writing novels.

When the Vikings had cut their nails, they hid the cut off pieces thoroughly, because they believed that the forces of Evil might otherwise build a ship of the pieces and come and take the owner of them to Hel - Hell. The ship's name was Nagelfar. Still today, 1000 years later, there is a Swedish verb nagelfara, meaning "examine throroughly".

I don't think they'll get too many votes here.  Besides alcohol, they'd like to ban drugs, cigarettes, commercial vice, and pornography.  Makes Romney seem like quite the Libertarian.

Saw on the internet, but didn't read the article.  A baby was born weighing 8 lbs, 9 ounces on 10/11/12 at 13:14.

The Romans would probably have liked this wine, at least the slaves and peasants, who usually drank sour, cheap wine  :)
