I'd make a great Dane

Crazy

I know four things about Denmark:

  • Danelaw (was actually England)
  • Hamlet (fictional)
  • Bacon (supposedly not true)
  • Jutland (juts. Puninsula)

And if I think really hard I'll remember Hans Christian Andersen (Aesop was better).

But, well, according to this, I should live there:

You Scored as Danish



Danish
63%
Swiss
50%
Belgian
50%
British
50%
Polish
50%
Italian
38%
Spanish
38%
Molvanian
25%
Irish
25%
German
25%
Dutch
13%
Turkish
13%
Russian
13%
French
0%

I know sod all about Belgique (although at least I'd have a bit of the language) ('Astings, mon ami) and the same goes for la Suisse (I have a Victorinox knife... are they really Swiss any more?). I'm surprised I'm as much as 50% British, given that I loathe tea and beer...

Maybe it's racial memory. Hey, did you know I'm distantly descended from someone called Jane Eyre? As literary heroines go I'd prefer an Irene Adler, a Liz Bennett or a Rosalind. At least it's not a Cathy Earnshaw or a Fuschsia Groan or Christine Daaaaaé or Ophelia or some balls.

My slight preference for black humour over red wine manifests itself:

"You Scored as British"


PS. How 'bout Susan Calvin? Everyone loves Susan Calvin.

Well, I figured the ship of convenience sailed with Fuschia Groan. Sure, Calvin doesn't have the gothic and Regency credentials yet, but get a few Jump Leads and give 'em a TARDIS, and you're all set.

Steerpike/Fuchsia was a ship of convenience that never sailed, which pretty much cements the poor child's status as Ophelia clone.

Anything requiring Dr Calvin to be forced into a dress would simply break my brain to a point where the First Law would no longer function. Pretty much like Guy Ritchie's Holmes effort is going to, coincidentally.

I'm waiting to see that film just to be able to turn on my Morbo voice and go "IRENE ADLER DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!"

We should. It would be awesome. Halfway through the widescreen would physically explode into flames.
