Okay editor what you lot been up to then.When I cranked up AB this morning I got this warning from my security thingy.yo . erm...if your after hacking into my bank details,.. forget it,my 19 year old daughter..got their fist...say no more..or is ab now a virus ?..(:O)
[...] a race of short people who used to live in Scandinavia - not even I had heard of those until Octavius said hackehemman and I looked it up. As you can see there is no Wikipedia entry in Swedish for this "Swedish folklore"... now I'm really confuzzled!
Oh... the original question... I hope we get Ed's explanation for that, Vinny. Clever daughter BTW...!
Actually I didn't, Octavius, I only looked in the "languages" box to the left of the "Hacker (folklore)" entry. But I am looking it up now even as we speak in Swedish Wikipedia and it still doesn't say anything about the short people :-) - only computer hackers. I'll keep on searching for this, though - it intrigues me. Could be they have another name in Sweden - or it could of course be that it's an American or British (or something) myth about us that we have this myth...
