Hi, everybody.

The Copenhagen graticule (55 12) has got a new member.

Today (20th June 2008) I went to this place called Sigerslevvester to look at a maize (corn) field. (Wow) ;-)

I confess right away: I don't own a GPS receiver, so I pinpointed the location using Google Maps living with the inaccuracy. According to Google the location was out in the middle of this maize field and as such inaccessible so I wouldn't be able to get to the exact spot anyway (assuming that the farmer might have a strong opinion about people damaging his crops).

Sigerslevvester is a village with a population of around a hundred, and naturally I was bombarded with questions. Having NOT read the FAQ, I had a great time explaining all about "some internet silliness" based on todays date, the opening index of Dow Jones and "a complicated mathematical process" to their astonished faces, grinning widely and sillily in the process. I did not, however, mention the word hash at all :-)

The only slightly negative person I met, was the owner of the trees in which I hung the XKCD marker, who was worried that I might damage his trees. When he learned that I had no intention of hurting his trees and used solely bio-degradable materials for my marker he mellowed up.

Anyway, it was a nice day, a nice weather and nice people in Sigerslevvester.

That was fun.

Yes, I know that this is not the right way to post an expedition report, but so far I haven't been able to locate any button/link for creating a new page. I know it must be there, but it's well hidden. -J0e

It appears that I can just link to a non-existing internal page and edit that. --J0e
