I propose we change our National Anthem to "O Fortuna"

[Swede]

O Fortuna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis Fate
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

3. I don't know what to think of that one

After the introduction it gets better. I need to listen again I think.

6. I love techno music

I listen to it constantly, all day long while I work. Years ago, I had a ripped version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony that had been remixed to a techno version. It was like 4 hours like and was the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, I lost (or had stolen) the external drive with some of my music and I haven't been able to find it again.

Not even that minx Myrna Minkoff.
