Liz Ditz gets a no-prize with a horned helmet on it for bringing us this report of even more Norwegian quirkiness:
[The Gathering is a] youth festival which is generally tagged as a nerd exposition, is a huge cult event, with participants bringing along their machines to install them in the hall and commune with peers for days on end.
The article is long on snarkiness but short on facts, so it's difficult to say exactly what this thing is all about. It kinda sounds like the world's largest LAN party. But after reading the previous two stories I've decided Norwegians are capable of anything.
