I can't think of anything really silly enough to post here, but I'll just write some meaningless chit-chat instead:
Did you know that in danish "forgive" means to poison?
Or that the danish word for windows, "vinduer", translates into "winepigeons" or "wineworks"?
The danish word for beer and the german word for oil is exactly the same: "øl/Öl"?
That's all for now, but I know that I'll think of a whole lot of fun stuff the moment I turn off the computer.

Poisson is french for fish. So:
One man's fish is another man's poisson
