Stupid, backwards, communist, lumber jacks, we sweat maple syrup, We all live in Igloos.
No, that would be us Icelanders.

Vikings who live in igloos because it's so cold here and have the most complicated language to learn. And the most expensive country in the world.

I have no idea if there are any more stereotypes from Iceland...
How about complex and hard-to-understand genealogies? I mean, how do you keep track of who's related to whom when the people take on the names of their parents as last names?

I have yet to see the geysers.And must say that I have no real interest in it.
Though I would rather want to see the geysers then go to Akureyri.

Hver vill búa á AKUREYRI?

If you want geysers, come to Yellowstone National Park. Half the world's geothermal features are there, including the Old Faithful geyser.

It's not that hard.We have old,old,really really old documents that say who was whom´s father and uncle and ect. And then we just do the math.
It is also said that most Icelanders are related in the 9th or inner circles of family.

Easy. We know who our relatives are. And it's the father's name we take as last name, except if the father has a family name (as we call them) or there is no father, then the mother's name is taken as a last name.

I see. Sort of like pedigrees or something? I really need to find out more about my heritage.

But.But.But then I would have to go to the U.S...I don´t want to waste my money on going to the U.S. when I could spend just as much money and go to Japan.

Liverpool - to anyone in Britain the next part will be obvious.

We're all tracksuit wearing scallies that like to mug old ladies, burgle houses and fuck the matrix. However, we have the best accent ever and Everton Football Club.

I live on an Indian Reservation. So, apparently we all live in tepees and all the men have feathers in their hair while the woman dance around in scantily clad leather outfits with braids in their hair while harvesting various things from the forest... still... in 2010..

And I semi-lived in London. All the men their wear bowler hats while sipping tea, saying "Pip pip cheerio" and everyone looks like a train went up and suck punched their mouths. TOTALLY YOU GUYS.

Oh, I forgot the stereotypes about my heritage. Apparently since I'm a quarter Dutch, I just LOVE cheese and wooden shoes and Delft pottery.

And don't get me started on the German stereotypes. Yeah, we're ALL Nazis and just LOVE our sausages and sauerkraut.

All Swedes wake up at 05.30 and eats crisp bread with cheese and a slice of cucumber. Everyone drives a Volvo and have short blonde hair,glasses and are extremly tall. (This is actually true for me...)
Everyone and their grandma have suicidal tendecies and drinks like there is no tomorrow.

Now,if we were to go more to the place I live,the stereotype is that everyone is a farmer and owns a tractor. And the neighbouring island and us are inbred fucks who can't even remember their own name.

In Illinois we're know for not obeying traffic laws. Which I guess is justified as going 15 mph over the speed limit on highways is completely normal here.

Apparently, because I was born in and lived next to Wiltshire, I see people every day with 6 fingered hands and there are allways tractors driving in the town's high street. Only one of these is true.

I'm Scottish. We're all ginger, we wear kilts and we chase around haggis. Also, anyone who's seen Frankie Boyle thinks that every Scotsman is a cynical bastard. This just isn't true. Only the true Scotsmen are.

you also hate the english

I'm Australian. Knowing this, you can already assume that when I'm not surfing at the world's greatest beaches I'm getting pissed constantly, look all rugged and have an accent that has slightly more appeal than a straight english one, ride kangaroos to work, relish pouncing on that venomous snake that got into the house, and if I see a croc out in the swamp by crikey you better believe I'll whack a machete between my teeth and dive headfirst into the mire to sort that sucker out.

Us Aussies are actually quite fond of our stereotype, and do pretty much NOTHING to suggest it isn't true.

Also- DROP BEARS!


with one stroke these monsters will slice your scalp open and EAT YOUR BRAIN. Also our spiders are so big they have health bars (Google it)
