24 hours per day of unyielding daylight for six months, followed by six months of darkness, will do strange things to your voting habits.

Nym and RWN both hold education up as extremely important.  I respect that.  I'd say my views on the subject are closer to Nym's, assuming RWN is serious, which may or may not be a valid assumption.  But in any case, RWN is correct in this case.  The earth tilts at 23.5 degrees (which is why the sun is never directly overhead unless you live between the two tropics).  So the long-day phenomenon is observed anywhere between the polar circles and their respective poles.  Very little of Sweden is inside; I was just giving Gustaf grief.  Smiley

Ah, yes.  I see my wording was rather sloppy in the original post.  I knew it was an exaggeration as I typed it and assumed Gustaf would pick up on that.  sorry for the confusion.  Guess it's time for a drink.  This is that time of day when I get just too damned lazy to get up out of this chair and go home.  Shouda left over an hour ago.  Geez.  Tempus fugit!
