Kuk i computeren?

[Winston]

Ha, ha. Well it's gotten better with the trains. Except, as I recently read that ~10 times a day, someone drops a glove or something on the tracks and jumps down to retrieve it. And then the nearest train will stop immediately, and not start again until the controllers figure out what is going on. Pure genius.

That link made the e-mail rounds. It was even on TV. The metro people got interviewed: "how big is the kuk" etc. Priceless

[Gangerolf]

Hint: it's a capital of a country

[Winston]

Ah, now it's dawning on me why it would amuse a Norwegian, Swede etc. ... Didn't catch that at first.

It's a "fun" word in Danish as well, but more along the lines of "peek-a-boo" and also to describe a comical mess - of which we seem to have gotten our fair share with the lovely Metro.

In any case, on with the picture game! Not my "turn" to guess again yet though.
