My screen didn't actually stretch until your last comment there. My screen isn't even in a size that tends to come with computers, so I've maybe only seen wallpapers that come in this size like, once. Then again it's hard to find wallpapers I like in general so the size of my screen probably doesn't matter that much. It sure makes posting pictures on the meme and everything confusing, because I'm not sure what's going to stretch most browsers.
I still don't think that a little screen stretching ever hurt anyone anyways. Maybe posting something that's 5000px in width, but little bit of scroll on the bottom is really no harm done.
That's pretty much what I used to think of Norway/Norwegians. That and fjords. Lots and lots of fjords (that has to be one of my favourite words. The "fj" makes it an absolute delight to say). Err, when you say a Newfie accent, you're just talking about the way they clip words? Or do you mean like he totally sounds like the guy here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgYJ-Q-pzxE ? cause i don't know if i can handre that
I think that if you looked short standing next to Denmark and Sweden, it's very likely you'd still be average height. In my head those two are pretty much behemoths (Sweden's second tallest after Russia, I think. Headcanon, yeahh.). Were they focused so much on, err, shiny things (well, I'd imagine that they were, everyone must have liked finding and picking up nice things. Hell, it's probably human nature to like shiny things.)? I remember reading two artciles that went on about vikings caring a lot about about their personal matienence and how Danes were made fun of for being "too clean." I'm not sure why I find the idea of the most badass people who ever lived being overly invested in smelling nice adorable and maybe a bit endearing, but there you go.
I know right. Like that Greek woman who set a plumber's dick on fire when he tried to rape her, what a pansy (that story is actually the greatest thing I have ever heard in my life and it's exactly the kind of badass thing I want to do at least once before I die. The fact that I won't die happy unless I do something that can earn me a mention in a cracked.com article is probably not a good thing) I wouldn't immediately assume that people would run it in a different direction though, this fandom treats the female characters very well. In a lot of other fandoms you'll see a lot of hate towards female characters, usually a result of them getting in the way of the gay or something ridiculous like that, but here they all seem to be loved. 's such a relief. Out of all the countries, I would've expected that France and Italy be made into girls (Hungary too, actually, but looks like she's already a girl). I am going off topic, yes.
I dunno when you would've ever even considerred them, but comics have a terrible rep when it comes to that stuff for a reason. Most of the art in the 90s was just dreadful, back in the day when EXTREMEEE was the way to go. Especially Rob Liefeld (http://progressiveboink.com/archive/robliefeld.html), aejihiaouethaoth. I was originally really turned off of superhero comics in general. It wasn't until I ended up reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman series (if you haven't read it, by all means, please do) and that got me into comics which later got me into superhero stuff and etc etc etc story of my life. I wish more people would give the non-mainstream superhero comics a chance, there is some incredible stuff there.
