Takk stelpur!!! All my loving goes to Erna og Stina for clarifying this mystery.

And Stina, don't take the English translation of The Second Sex at face value. It was done by someone who didn't know s*** about philosophy, so all the philosophical terms are misinterpreted by him/her, in places completely changing the meaning of what Simone was trying to say. Or so it says in the introduction to the Norwegian edition.

Just came here from the Kroa pub, where Oli Ingolfs and I met over a beer. Oli is a professor of geology at UNIS (and HI), and really good fun to talk with. We sat there for some few hours (and some few beers) discussing everything from South American history through fatalism in the Icelandic sagas to conservation of the global gene pool and the global environmental disaster waiting around the corner. Found out that all the private swimming pools in the deserts of Arizona are probably to blame.
