From today I am the answer to The Utimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything; the answer is calculated in exactly 7.5 million years by supercomputer Deep Thought and turns out to be my age as of today: 42!
The Ultimate Question is not known, though apparently we are all part of the calculation of it; a supercomputer called ‘Earth’ was designed to calculate the Ultimate Question in 10 million years and Life itself forms part of its operational matrix…
(from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, recommended! đ )
So, from today you just ask me and I will be your answer! đ

Living in Norway, wood plays an important role; most houses (except those in the main cities) are made of wood, and fireplaces use wood to heat up the house during the cold winter months. Besides that, there are a shitload of trees in this country, making nature here an absolutely stunning experience! If I would have the time and the talent, I would chop down one of those trees and start wood carving…why? Well, why not? The result can be amaaaazing!!
I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so the picture below is just the start (‘the’ tree), just click this link for the full article and let yourself be surprised with the end result…WoW!

Tony Blair: “The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.”
