My favorite fact about Iceland is that their horses are all members of a labour union.

Actual book. ‘Body Trauma’ by David W. Page, MD. Subtitled ‘a writers guide to wounds and injuries’ it explains things like how it feels to be shot, and how long it would take to wake up after being knocked out.
I can see why no one’s favorite fact about Iceland is that their national dish is shark fermented in its own urea and then hung out to dry for months.
I mean I can see it back when they were Vikings, desperate to survive, but come on, Iceland. Move on from eating the dried pee sharks.
How the fuck did you collect the sharks urea? I see how it gets expensive… Lmao
Sharks don’t really pee. It gets stored it in their body tissue instead. Part of the preperation of shark is essentially pressing it for weeks to bring out the ammonia and let it break down into something that won’t kill you. Doesn’t taste good, but won’t kill you.
