Sweden has a king?

Yep.

FTA: "The Red Wings' Swedish players will meet tomorrow with Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf, who is on two-day tour of Michigan to celebrate the opening of a Flint-Swedish joint project that will turn human waste into fuel for power and vehicles."

Trying to leave politics out of this, but that is cool of the King to come all this way to show

support for this. What will be more interesting is to hear how this project pans out. I have to admire the way other countries show progressive attitudes and it seems I hear a lot about Sweden being a great country. I also really like their right of the people to use the land, so hiking, fishing, boating, etc are all freely permitted.

Actually i heard sweden has a fishing policy that is really dumb. And I heard they recently passed legislation for less internet/phone/tv privacy.

[Guest mindfly]

yeah you can fish, hiking, boating everywhere, some lakes you have to pay for though

"And I heard they recently passed legislation for less internet/phone/tv privacy"

No that's not true, the goverment wanna monitor phonecall/email from other countries to sweden, but it still need approval from court of law and clear evidence that they are terrorists or other threats so basically the same as in U.S

I thought the king was already here, named lidstrom

[OsGOD 3]

He should come down the street and check out our Ikea... see if they made it right.

That's what i thought when i read the title.

I was thinking "well duh, hes been in Detroit for years now"

If Lids is King, does that mean that Hank is the prince? lol

Queen

Sweden has a king?

Of course. Just like empires have emperors, kingdoms have kings. America is a country so they have George Bush.

The Prince is in the Palace, not the Joe.

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Sweden has a king?

Duh. His name is Henrik Zetterberg.

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Of course. Just like empires have emperors, kingdoms have kings. America is a country so they have George Bush.

Ouch. Sucks to be a country then. At least they have a 70+ Bush act-alike with horrible rage issues on the horizon!

Mean!

[Doggy 130]

Mean!

I was just kidding, relax. I would've said it about Australia but like any of you knows who Kevin Rudd is.

I do so!

Do you know who Stephen Harper is?

[thedisappearer 291]

Do you know who Stephen Harper is?

Yeah, he's that weird guy that shows up at international events with all the leaders of countries there. Is he the valet or something?

[55fan 5,133]

Do you know who Stephen Harper is?

Drummer from the Grass Roots?

Forward for U of Minn basketball team?

Guy who invented the DVD rewinder?

Leader of a huge country with colourful money?

Got me.

I do. It's kinda funny that to this day if you google 'Bush boot licker' you'll still find many instances of John Howard in the results... hopefully Mr. Rudd's got a little better public image in Oz?

Back on topic though I wonder how much hype there is to being king of Sweden? I mean like if queen Elizabeth (or any of her family for that matter) shows up anywhere it's a big deal. I tell ya what I like him already.. turning #2 into electricity, right on man!

I don't he's earnt the image of being professional kiss-arse to the US president yet, but aside form that his image is still pretty poor. I can't stand the little prick.
