AGONY! The Highest Point in Denmark Has Changed!

[CFLarsen]

We Danes were a happy people once. We thought that Yding Skovhøj was the highest point in Denmark. Then, it was Ejer Bavnehøj.

A whopping 169-170 meters high.

Now, today, a Danish scientist, after decades of intense studies, has revealed the stunning fact: The highest point in Denmark is an astounding 170.86 meters high.

This is no laughing matter. This is a devastating blow to our national pride. For years, we have been told a lie. Our national pride has been hurt, stabbed, killed. What we have now is a Danish History in shambles. We Do Not Have A Common History Anymore!

A.

Go.

Ny.

Please, join me in this hour of intense grief, on a national scale. Wear a black band to work tomorrow. Shed a tear at noon, with your hand placed over your heart.

Aww, quit your complaining. It could be worse - the Netherlands doesn't even have a highest point.

God Dag:

Jeg graede. 511 feet? You must be kidding.

For a second there I thought you were alluding to this film... terrible film though.

Claus, I thought the highest point in Denmark was the tip of your nose.

Hey Bruce: Columbia Missouri! What's going on there? Haven't been back in decades. Don't miss it either. Like the nose joke though. Say "hi" to Jesse Hall, may he rest in peace.:D

Best quote I've ever heard was from Tom Sawyer on the cartoon Fairly Odd Parents: "As we say in Missouri, "I'm never going back to Missouri!"".

When did you leave? The Heidleberg burned down and they re-built it. Looks exactly the same as before. I think they even made replicas of the gum under the seats. We now have a Ramano's Macaroni Grill in town. Good stuff. They are still threatening to build a fourth Wal-Mart, but that's nothing new. They tore down Alexander's Steak House and replaced it with an ugly Famous Barr. Looks like a featureless cinder block. Make the Break Time in front of it look pretty. They're building the national headquarters of the Bass and Pro shop here. Even built a fake lake for it. Should be open in a few months. Someone must have decided the hippy to redneck ratio was favoring the hippies.

Some new good grub: Back Yard Burger, Nothing But Noodles, Lions Choice, Stone Cold Creamery, and Buffalo Wild Wings. Food quality in Columbia is definitely improving, but there are still no jobs for chemists, which is why I'll be leaving soon.

Flat Branch is still here and still making the best beer on the planet: The Oil Change Stout. Sorry, Guinness, you are a close second.

Before there was one Walmart- '72

Just gather a group of 10 friends, buy each one a good shovel, and use the cover of a winter night to rectify the problem.

No, that will be found out! You see, the scientists actually reevaluated the height of those hills by subtracting the layers that had been added by humans.

But to me the main damage has been done long ago. In my childhood there was no doubt that Ejer Baunehøj was the highest point. People had erected a small tower there to add to the magnificent view, and for every year people make pilgrimage to this place where the clean air of high-altitude can be breathed. For some years now, all this has been in vain: It was established that Yding Skovhøj was actually higher! My world has not been the same ever since, even though it was actually established before I was born!

The fact that Møllehøj has now been determined to be 50 centimeters higher than Yding Skovhøj concerns me in no way, since the damage has already been done.

Come and visit Denmark - the country where you can get your perspective right!

Gee, that is how I feel about Weston, MO "The Town that Time Forgot"...(well, I keep trying to) I heard from a friend in Texas that it now has a ski resort!

I thought this was going to be a thread about drugs.

Bummer.

So Claus- you mean Denmark is getting higher? Why so upset then?

Is this due to a magma chamber swelling up, global warming making Denmark expand, or the pile of empty Carlsberg cans getting bigger?

What? I love that movie! It's wonderful, especially the location settings and the locals employed in the cast.

Well, there's your problem. It probably was the highest, but all those people standing on it all those years packed it down!

Don't you understand, man?!?!??

We need to transform our economy to a skiing resort/mountaineering one. Our cars will have to be replaced with lifts. Old people will die, because they can't breathe in the high altitudes. We can't produce grain for our beer.

To pick a few reasons. I hope you understand the severity of the situation!!!

A few layers of dirt.
