hah, if you add an F and an R you get 'hoffnarr' which is the norwegian word for court jester. which is vaguely funny on some level.

In Dutch you don't have to add letters at all We write it Hofnar. It means the same as in Norwegian though ... We call a HOFNAR an ODOL by the way, but if I explained the meaning of that abbreviation someons will probably raise my warn level :bleh: (sorry for the off-topicness btw).
