With a price-tag of 250 norwegian kronor it's not a tough buy either. Yes, it shows time in decimal too... In Sweden we often poke fun at the Norwegians (like the Germans do to the Ostfriesen) and this almost sounds too good to be true."

    Consider this a Me-2 post.

    It sorta reminds me how I used to mess with my dumb math teachers in high school by doing all my 'internal' calculations in hex, only converting the final answer back to decimal. Those idiot fucks never figured it out =)
