The Vikings. They popularised the use of the one-sided comb and trousers. Before that combs were weird shaped and everyone in Northern Europe wore tunics... And I don't have nice legs, so I owe the Vikings a LOT!
I just remembered some more, Scar Symmetry, In Flames (Though a bit overrated), Soilwork, Opeth, Keep of Kalessin and many more awesome metal bands.
The Norwegians also invented the worlds ugliest city; Oslo, which, if I remember correctly, is awarded the following "awards":
Europes Drug Capital
Most Expensive City in the World
And also some other things.

When we're still talking about chocolate, the Milk Chocolate known in Norway as Freia Melkesjokolade and in Sweden as Marabou *somethingsomething*, they are actually amongst the best chocolates in the world
they're not that good. just something invented by the norvegians during the union with sweden and denmark, to get morale, and the nationalism growing.Kycho said:
Exampels: do you know how swedens wash their car? one holds the swamp, and the other drives back and fourth.
do you know why the danish brings sandpaper to the desert? they mistaked it for a map.
what seperates the norwegians from the apes? the [URL="{url}" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svinesund_Bridge)]Svinesund Bridge[/URL]
the swedish, the danish and the norwegian were lost on a deserted isle. one day a bottle floated onto the island. when they rubbed it, a genie emerged.they got one wish each. the norwegian wished himself home, as did the danish. but the swedish became so lonly so he wished them both back again...
The Fucking Vikings
I've only seen it mentioned once.
Following that, the engineering and Alfred Nobel

Turbonegro are a good export!
I think everything else has been said to be honest.
Oh and the Scandanavians in the call centres I have to ring at work are always pretty upbeat and enjoy humiliating me as I try badly pronounce their words...then laugh at me. Then again at least they aren't grumpy dickheads so thats pretty awesome!
