Today is Sweden's National Day, so today is a free day for celebration and dodging nazies (Yes, we have those retards here).

Anyway, I'm going to wave a flag from my desk and work anyway. Yay me.

Anyway, the Day is also known as the Swedish Flag Day. We celebrate it because it was the day that the King Gustav Vasa, the king that overthrew the Danish ruled Kalmar Union, was elected as King in 1523, which is considered as the foundation of modern Sweden.

King Gustav Vasa was the king that reformed the Swedish belief system into protestantism... (for monetary reasons).

And some LOL from Wikipedia about Gustav Vasa.

18th Century references in Britain

"In 1739, English playwright Henry Brooke wrote the play Gustavus Vasa, dealing with the liberation of Sweden from Danish rule. However, Robert Walpole, British Prime Minister at the time, believed that the play's villain was intended to represent him, and had the play banned - the first English play to be so banned under the Licensing Act 1737.

Later in the 18th Century, the name Gustavus Vasa was given to Olaudah Equiano, a prominent African ex-slave living in Britain and involved in the struggle to abolish slavery."

Anyway, off to wave some flags and have fun. Peace and fun.
