I met a walrus in the centre of Bodø today. But I don't think it was ark.

A real live walrus? I don't think they are native to Norway.

A real stoned walrus. Er, stone, I mean. 🙂 I don't think the category "live or dead" applies to them. But there are some real live non-stone walri in Northern Norway, and many on Spitsbergen. I wouldn't expect to meet any in the centre of Bodø, though. 😉

Thank you very much. I'll probably make some stunning blunders in my dream chess games.

Just don't give the opponent a free queen!

Why not? That would make a good nightmare, wouldn't it?

I once stayed up all night stressing about a game I was winning, then gave away, then got back into, then gave away again. I was trying to figure out a way to do something, but it's not going so well.

I'm glad you met a walrus today. We're quite a sociable bunch, aren't we? Well, at least those of us not made out of stone. But you guys didn't need to post pictures, video, and information regarding walri. I could've just shared my photo album, and home video collection with you. And those websites think they know a lot about walri, but they aren't written by a real walrus. And let me just tell you, they got a lot of their facts wrong.

Please do! 🙂 Do you know any Norwegian walri, too?
