Subject: [acc-list] Vikings ban meteorology from Swedish schools
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 12:32:24 +0100

Oskarshamn, SWEDEN, Tuesday October 26, 999AD:
Today, a group headed by Johan Kuno, passed a new law which states that
teaching about meteorology in Swedish schools is against their religion.
Norse Mythology teaches that Thor, the God of lightning, is responsible
for all atmospheric phenomena. Lightning is _not_ electrical discharges
it is caused by the hammer of Thor. Thunder and rain is also brought
forward by the Mighty Thor. There can be no other morally acceptable
explanations to this.

A few meteorologists complained and called this drastic measure "a
ludicrous proposition that will send us back to the Stone Age". But the
Swedish right-wing Vikings are (physically) strong and the school board
passed the new law after only two mugs of frothing mead -- an
unprecedented event in Swedish legislative history.
