The world's largest windmillpark will in a few years will be between Djursland and Anholt. The formal decision is taken later in the month. However, according to DR News information, it is almost certain that the next big bet on wind power in Denmark will be the middle of the Kattegat.
A broad majority in the Parliament agreed in February this year to the next major windmillpark must be ready to produce power in 2012. It will consist of about 100 giant wind turbines, which will provide 400 MW of power. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of power in no fewer than 400,000 households....

The 38 year old woman from North Zealand jumped out from the 34,8 meter tall tower - Rundetaarn and landed in the middle of pedestrians.

No one got hit when the woman jumped. Købmagergade as the street is called got barred. About 15 people were witnesses to the incident.

Among other were a class witnesses to the tragedy and the police called for phycological help.

A new study of pupils in Silkeborg shows that smokers not only die earlier. They also get worse grades.

Uglier teeth, worse conditioning, the bad economy and premature death.

There is enough of the things that speak against smoking, and now, a study of pupils in Silkeborg that smoking students also get lower grades ..

The students were smoking, according to Central Jutland Avis at the end of 8. class last year grades, which was 0.76 lower than non smokers.

Their grades in 9. Class was 0.97 in non-smokers.

The figures are also "gutted" for students' background. It means that you have made up for students' social background.

THIS IS VERY URGENT AND NOT A JOKE! ALSO DON'T GOOF OFF!!!!

I really mean it! What would you be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would you be able to do if writing fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would you do if it's illegal to do a cover of your favorite song on YouTube? What would you do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal? What would you do if SOPA/TPP wins the war and takes away internet freedom? Net Neutrality is already dead so far, we can't risk the freedom of internet...

Hi, there. I thought it would be funny if I wrote about the defference about danish and english. I tried to do it in Images, but this is easier...

In Denmark, some things is easier than english, but many is harder.

Here are some easy ones:

Am = er
Is = er
are = er
ice = is
bath = bad
mouse = mus
window = vindue
fish = fisk
wine = vin
water = vand
sick = syg
sun = sol
music = musik

See, that's easy.

Some of them are completely the same :

England = England
radio = radio
computer = computer
stereo = stereo
door = dør
agent = agent

There's a lot more of that kind of words.

Then there is also those who does'nt look the...

Jyllands-Posten has printed the drawings again, and now many muslims(there are 800.000 muslims in Denmark out of 5.4 mio. people = 0,8 mio people is muslims) in the age from 13-17 started setting buildings on fire in Aarhus and Copenhagen, but what they don't know is that it's legal to DRAW anything you want in Denmark, even if it was pornographic( You actually only have to be 15 for to have sex and 16 to buy alcohol here), but it's illegal so set things on fire. People just don't know what the drawings stands for, they think that it's realistic, but it...

I translated this little song written by Natasja before she died. I decided to translate it because everything she says is true. If you want to listen to the real song later, then I have added a link later down at the page.

Ey Denmark, what happens to you?
I miss you, I want you back,
Like in the old days where a bitch was a bitch YO!
I want you back,
Like in the old days where a free bird was free,
and where they believed what they said.

Ey Denmark, I miss you.
I freaking fucking miss you.
You frighten me,
I want you back, because I am scared.

I can see it happen,
It's Satan, and he puts forces...

Okay, I just made this, because I was so borred. :P

This is what Danes have in common with Americans.

1. Our flag gets burned in the middle east like yours.

2. We have McDonald and all the other fast food stores, but what country has'nt?

3. Our language is very similar to yours.

4. Our Pizza is the same.

5. We use the internet all the time.


You may think that Denmark is a little country, where nothing happends, so little freaks like me have to go to american sites. But...you are wrong.

There lives 5 million people in Denmark. That's more than in Norway and Finland. (Denmark was once a big country,...

Danish energy policy has been thought of highly in the world's leading magazines, The New York Times.

Thomas L. Friedman developments in Denmark and the United States since the oil crisis in 1973 and the comparison will have Thomas L. Friedman to stamp the U.S. energy policy as "pathetic".

"I wish we were as energismart as Denmark," says Friedman, whose articles are being delivered out in over 700 newspapers around the world.

"Return look to Denmark"
In the same way the newspaper Forbes recommends that the presidential John McCain and Barack Obama look at the Danish environmental policy.

Skallingen is an island in the northern part of vadehavet (walkocean is the right translation). It's 7 km long and is a quite new island. It was naturally made in 1634 by a sandstorm. Skallingen is all nature, but that's not the only thing...

Skallingen until today had the last minefelt in Denmark. The Germans putted them there duing world war II, but now it's all clean.

You still should'nt go there, because it's nature area. It would be a good place to swim, but the ocean is pretty rough there. Actually 2 km of the island will be gone by the next 25 years...

The life on the island is very quiet and you must not bring dogs, because it's an important place for birds.
Can you find it? :D

This poem is actually a song by Michael Falch. I just love the text so I decided to translate it. There's no dots or commas, I know. It's supposed to be that way. It rhymes in Danish but not in English... It's called "I et land uden høje bjerge" in Danish.

In a country with no high mountains
where it rains and snows
Shall I live my days
and die the day is happens
On a dot on the world map
as nobody reckon on
And so easy can be gone
when we don't have peace anymore

My flag doesn't have stars,
hammer or sails
It dropped down from heaven
almost by a mistake

In a country with no high mountains
will I build...
