Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's actually true, in norwegian 'rumpetroll' means tadpole http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpetroll but the literal translation is "ass troll", yes, seriously. that's why it's extra fun! especially if you are swedish like me ;)

I thought "rumpetroll" was a fake word along the lines of "guleböj" and "brusefåtölj" when I saw it. Fellow Swede here.

haha. yeah, when I first moved to Norway I couldn't believe it either :)

Makes me proud to be Norwegian. Haven't seen stuff like this from our country before, let's hope this opens a flood gate of creativity and cutting edge web development!

glad to hear that! we are planning to release the code, can't wait to see what you guys come up with :)

Makes me proud to make Norwegians proud. I too really hope this may stimulate others to push the envelope.
