100 year old mystery unveiled today

[smange]

And you thought it was bad having to wait til Christmas morning before being allowed to open your presents? Well imagine waiting 100 years!! Thats what a small town in Norway has had to do before opening a package that was wrapped and sealed by the then mayor 100 years ago.

Intriguing stuff http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utrolige-historier/artikkel.php?artid=10060251


The opening is being shown live here http://www.vgtv.no/#!id=55544 for anyone interested

Would be spooky if it's a bit of paper with one word written on it - 'Sane'

Looks like a hand knitted golf sweater to me!

Doc and Marty wrapped it in 1912 and they will pick it up today, essential spare part for the flux capacitor no doubt.

 

[CMAC]

actually it is very interesting and I will watch at 4pm. It could be a 100 yr old joke for a laugh or something really interesting or political scandal. Its not very well wrapped for something 'serious' so I think it's light hearted.
Wonder why no-one x-ray'd it?

Will health and safety have to check it out first, PAT test it if its electrical, quarantine it for 6 months etc.

Yes, just been in a management meeting.

All these scientists, museum officials and news people and not one of them seem to know that Norway is only 1 hour ahead of GMT.

After much Norwegian cultural stuff they opened it and it contained a nice silk scarf and loads and loads of crap. Looked like letters and documents and stuff - guess they'll be analysing it for yonks!
