We might not like the Icesave
deal, but the alternative is much
worse, and maybe this is the
best we or anyone else could
get. Take it or leave it, that's the
message we got.
Historian Guðni Th. Jóhannesson on the
potentially awful Icesave deal.

Oh wait, that’s not hilarious at all
and it’s decidedly disturbing if
you enjoy such symptoms.

Terror strikes for a fleeting fear-
ful second but before instinct
kicks in the accidental game

turns an on-ramp into an off-
ramp and a particular hazard to

Furthermore, I am determined
to take the following and more
poetic steps: I will chop off my
fingers one by one with an axe
and mail them to you in an en-
velope.

Our Puffin binge may be com-
ing to a close. A recent report
shows an alarming 25% de-
crease in the Westman Island’s
puffin population over the last
four years. And with the islands
being the puffins’ single largest
breeding colony in the world,
this is some potentially grave
news.
Will our beloved Puffin go the way of the
Great Auk?
