The almighty kreppa doesn’t have to dominate the news every day. Life goes on and we must pause to take notice. Turns out the otherwise stoic Icelander are possibly the worlds best at something you might not expect. Film at 11.
.Inspired by the kreppa but this goes way beyond, a whole neighbourhood that was built just before the bubble burst has been bought out in a bizarre scheme to gather votes.
.The conficker worm doing strange things in Iceland and beyond. Excerpt:
“Reports are trickling in about the impact from the Conficker worm, as infected systems passed zero hour at midnight and began downloading additional malicious components. Here are a couple of the more notable incidents caused by Conficker so far, according to published reports: — ‘… shortly after midnight local time, an ATM in the capital city of Reykjavik began spewing 100-Krona notes. … A nuclear missile installation near Elmendorf Air force Base outside of Anchorage, Alaska briefly went on a full-scale military alert after technicians manning the bunker suspected that several of their control systems were infected with Conficker.’”
.Iceland gets an unexpected boost that will help the country and the U.S.
.A few tidbits to make this day much more clear.
I hope your April 1st was as funny as mine.
My April Fool’s Day wasn’t especially funny, but I did have a funny moment when my Sweetie sent an text message to my son saying we had sold the house and were moving to Iceland… my 29 year old son texted back “EVIL TRICK – I was in a meeting and didn’t notice what day it was… NOT COOL”. Too funny
I told him it was only April Fools – and wishful thinking LOL!
