Scandinavia is still recovering from the last ice age, when the land was depressed 2000ft (600 m) by the weight of the ice. Today the earth's crust is "rebounding" at the rate of 0.3 inches (9mm) a year in the Gulf of Bothnia.

The Durian is a southeast Asian fruit with "spikes" on it, deadly if it falls on you, considered a delicacy, sold in some domestic Asian markets, has a foul smell and a kerosene-ish aftertaste. You can also buy Durian-flavored pudding and such, Kerosene seasoning not included.
It is best eaten outside, or you WILL get complaints from the smell.
