So the public drunken shenanigans here are pretty epic. 2: The entire city of copenhagen looks like the world's largest santa village, and everyone bikes everywhere. They have the best designated bike lanes I've ever seen.3: Did I mention how much these people party?

They were less about teaching ham-handed lessons and more about great stories, many of which were from some of the best young adult books of the day.

Do this right now. Visit this internet web site, download the two .mp3s, and follow the instructions. It's an alternate soundtrack to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (philosopher's stone to our friends in jolly olde england) that you listen to alongside the movie, a-la The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz. It's absolutely hilarious and extremely well written.
