According to Aftenposten, two kids have already been arrested and released on bail and I am not even a suspect. This comes less than two weeks after Turkey's Sultan KÃ¶sen, the world's tallest man, came to Norway and unveiled the world's largest gingerbread man at one of Oslo's Ikea stores. Unlike lovely little Bergen, Oslo is one of Europe's dumpiest medium-sized cities outside the former East Bloc. It needs whatever it can get to distinguish it, be it Ikea stores, tall Turks or gingerbread.

Irish Monks, under the guise of a package holiday group, were found to be the culprits.

Their only comment: "We believe that after 900 years, the dish had properly cooled."

Hopefully whoever did this will be visited by three ghosts, develop a paternal bond with a subordinate's crippled son, and finally learn the true meaning of Christmas.

Between this and the disappearing waffles, I'm sensing that something sinister is afoot on a much larger scale than we realize.
