How cool is this?
They're turning the streetlights out in Reykjavik on Thursday night for 2 hours while an astronomer tells people about the night sky on national radio.
No wonder you guys came up with EVE, you're all bonkers

That¦s freakin awesome! Not sure if they have a lot of snow up there and I hate snow, but if they let people stargaze without disturbance from lights, I would even be able to live with the snow...I think. ________________________________

Are the CCP offices going to be darkened and the giant glass roof opened to allow all the staff to gaze at the heavens in awe?

Apparently what happened was that the original vikings who colonised Iceland had visited the area we know now as Greenland first. What they found was a barren wasteland, uninhabitable unless your name was Mr Penguin.
They then found Iceland which was a lot nicer (gives you some idea of just how chilly Greenland was...) and decided "Nice volcanic land mass, we'll take it". To fool other potential settlers they then gave the barren, inhospitable wasteland the cunning name "Greenland" and called the (relatively) lush and pretty one "Iceland" so that all the other vikings/goths/Scottish people would head for Greenland instead and they could then point from the warm (and vaguely sulphurous) comfort of Iceland and say "haha!.

Heh...I had heard about the two names (allegedly) being mixed up - hence my question on whether they get a lot of snow there. However, didn¦t know there was a plan actually.
suddenly it all makes sense

I'll put a video of the lights going out in a few moments.
I'll have to upload it to my laptop and get it on eve-files and then you can watch the lights going out.

Thanks to CKY2K I've been in love with Iceland for many years. If I had any experience with computers or have been playing EVE since beta, I would camp at CCP until they gave me a job doing anything! You wouldn't even have to pay me, just give a few donuts and beers each day, and let me sleep on Tux's desk! Pleeeeeeaasssssee???

Seriously though, if America ever gets nuked to all hell and back, I'm moving to Iceland - cold, wet, dark, I love places like that . Especially with hot, friendly women (from what I've heard, please let it be accurate)...

I think I will take a vacation to Iceland, and press my body up against the CCP building; naked. And then make people take pictures for a new sig.
