Den stumme dansken Explanation: Refers to the famous book "Den tavse dansker" by Erich Erichsen. Title of the Swedish translation: "Den stumme dansken". (Title of the English translation: "The quiet Dane"; title of the German translation: "Der Stille Däne") -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 30 mins (2005-02-16 10:56:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just tried it on a larger group. All geriatrics made the connection, but nobody under 60 grasped it. You would be well advised to write a footnote! |
