What a depressing-looking crowd. I sure hope I never get invited to that.
 
I'm with Feynman on this one.
 
I can predict that Professor Nobel's food will get cold before he can eat it if he has to ask Sundqvist to pass the salt.

Has the makings of one awesome food fight, though.
 
In summary, the King sits in the middle, surrounded by a buffer-zone of Swedes seperating him from the Nobels (who have their own buffers between themselves), and some ambassadors and non-laureate professors are essentially eating off the floor, 7.1 km away from anyone important.

I like how the Australian ambassador got a better seat than the British one! What's up with that.

:smile: Well, I can assure you at least "HRH The Duchess of Halland" is not depressing-looking:

Actually that's what most of the women around here look like. If she is supposed to be an exotic beauty then that is quite distressing since I am already tired of the look.

no its a more golden blonde. But her natural color isn't really fiery red. Its just on the red side of strawberry blonde, to the point where it isn't blonde.

Yes, then please tell her she's a terrible person.


Congrats on your Guru Award by the way.
