Norway: Probably One of the Best Royal Families in the World

Just came across two articles on the BBC News website about the Norwegian royal family.

Four years ago, the brother of the “controversial” princess was convicted of assault, and now today:

Norway’s Princess Martha Louise says she has psychic powers and can teach people to communicate with angels.

I ought to note that this is a different princess to the sister of the assault guy, but still. I can see the headlines of the papers in a similar scenario over here now:

“Queen declares psychic link with corgis. Prince Charles subsequently declares similar link with vegetables.”

Admit it. You’d love it too if the royal family said something like that.

The Euro

It’s just occurred to me that the plural of Euro is also Euro, much like the plural of sheep is also sheep.

To quote George from Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”: There’s probably some irony in there [along the lines of sheep following each other], but I’m not drunk enough to work it out.

Just wondering if this is cause for concern.

Are the two in any way related? We should be told!
