in isolated like to build a direct route from up
after nurse to reykjavik and
make sense they need that role but look there's a lot of people that are against
it
including environmentalists are worried about splitting up there habitat oh so
the
animals that live there and they've got some cancer well as another community
that has
a concern it's the people that are worried about the whole book poke
who the whole before they are the hidden box trolls
elves arrest but now
together there my Mentalist and the the whole the folk people have gotten
together
and the form friends a blob and they're fighting back
in fact they have gotten her icelandic Supreme Court to delay the road
as a figure out if there's going to be environmental concerns
and whether they can be concerns about elves along the way
they say they're my knee me in Alvechurch on the path and that's why
its holy ground now I so has a slightly different tradition that we do
so for example during thirty days before Christmas they have the Yule Lads that
come to town
and that's thirteen different but characters
the or trolls but one for example
is stall for he's extremely short
and eats across left in pants that's a very specific troll
and their pot scraper who snatches leftovers and to hold the scaler
or the door slammer so be here door slam number one slot well thats obviously the
Buddha scallop
so they've got to be protected right in fact
Associated Press explains health advocates in Iceland have joined forces
with my
environmental stewardship authorities to abandon
a highway project that they claim will disturb health habitat
including an old church fun basic come under strict
people bison don't really believe this I guess environmentalists are using it as
a ruse
for the purposes set well you would be wrong according to a poll done in 2007
you know many people weisman
believe that elves might exist sixty
to percent sixty
to perset I know there seems little unbelievable
I'm but we also have our traditions that are only well get to those in a sec
first we go to a essere
natio the Sears apparently can see the trolls and elves and
they can do telepathically with them and find out what their intent is in this
case is
right new load of duty it will be a terrible loss
and damaging both for the of world and for us humans
we actually found another open lobby is so well-known
advocate a valves and on the issue
the road here's what he's have the
he's for themselves so
now look it when you actually wanna environmentalists talk to at
environmentalists in Iceland they make interesting point says look hip
Magnussen is one of them he says I know some people find this
of stuff ridiculous but quote i got married in a church
with a God just as invisible as the elves so what might seem irrational
is actually quite common with icelanders thats actually a terrific point
so from our point of view adults
deliver them Bowden's that's obviously not true
the real God is obviously a visible one let's send a son to walk on water
and return water know what kind and a rick is the Dept head
and himself on right raise rise from the dead three days everyday
hide and I can bookmark your mother you crazy I'd slip dirt's
but I'm silly review really
so Terry got always a folklore professor
explains this he says there's a land where your house can be destroyed by
something you can see
where the wind can knock you off your feet with the smell of sulfur from you
tabs
tells you that there is an invisible fire not for below your feet
with the Northern Lights make the sky the biggest television screen in the
world
and where hot springs in glaciers talk and basically explains
people needed a way to explain all of that so they came up with well if
there's an earthquake in the rocks fall
the ELS most pushed up now we had our own way to explaining things two
thousand years ago
well you know if we lost the war the gods must not a paper dust weicker's
within sprinkle the goat blood in the Rye part to the temple
and we didn't take the pic in trails into the correct boo do with that
but that's perfectly rational and
gone if you want us to win in the New Testament well
I'm not sure if we win or lose for the seven headed dragon but he would have
said 27 had a dragon one way or another
but elves this silly elves
well those are obviously Ole Miss to explain things that we can explain now
with
right science the same exact thing
that Western traditions tonight so often finally Bjork was asked about this
obviously small most famous people come out about
excellent and when Hester know whether
the really believe in elves and I so she said quote we do
it's our relationship with nature Mike with the rocks the elves
all in the rock so you have to it's all about respect you know
now that might seem ridiculous to respect the elves
but think about it is not exactly what are Christians hearsay
you have to respect my beliefs about the sky god
and his son that turned a little bit imp bread into a lot of bread in a little
bit efficient all other fish
only do it with mad check from the sky
good you have to respect that but the guys who believe in El
they're idiots
