Handball is actually a Danish invention, like American football is American, handball was actually first invented in good old Denmark.

If you wanna try what "Hygge" is about, try this. On a cold night, sit down on the couch with friends or family, turn off the lights and light some candlelights on your coffee table, wrap yourself in a blanket and sip a cup of tea, or whatever you fancy, maybe even have a few snacks nearby to munch on and maybe watch some TV. It's an amazing feeling.

I love when people try to say Danish names and words, it sounds so funny.

Nice list Even if I had a bit of trouble understanding some of those pronunciations of our words ;) Can't believe there wasn't a single point on this list mentioning Aqua or Barbie Girl. Also, Copenhagen houses THE oldest comic book store in the whole world, "Fantask" which is turning 50 years old next year. Last year, the place was on the edge of closing it's doors actually but a huge crowdfunding campaign raised almost $90,000 to help them stay afloat. Denmark was also THE first country to legalize the sale of pornographic content and we were also the first country to legalize gay marriage. And for many Europeans growing up in the '90s, you might remember a television show where you could call in to play a computer game called Hugo via the buttons on your phone. That character and the whole concept also originated from the Danish company "Silverrocks Studio" The Unity engine that is used by many developers to create video games these days also have its roots in Denmark. Also, in Denmark, we like to think that Santa Clause lives on Greenland and not the North Pole. Santa Clause danish name is "Julemanden" which directly translates to "The Christmas Man" We also celebrate Christmas on Dec 24th and usually opens up presents after the Christmas dinner. Most Danes prefer Duck or Pork with rinds while a few prefer ham. As long as the potatoes and gravy are there.

Proof of good education in Denmark: I am 17 years old and about average in history class. I knew 96 of these facts.
