Gentlemen, before we go delving into South America I think we should continue to delve into ladies underwear. What was in Lohanius' underwear? Paper Clips, BPB or er the Nutmeg/Peanut combo?

Good God. The more I read, the more I get pulled into the dark history of Sweden.

W1, please pursue the undergarment angle. It does appear this was LoLan's main vehicle for getting the BPB into Sweden.

As for the Iowan and Minnesotan connection - it appears that those boys were all relatives of LOLan (and of each other).

I am reading the excellent book How Lohanius Used Her Profits from the Paper Clips Smuggling to Settle Indiana and Retired in Fishers by Stephen Ambrose. This book should settle the smuggling question.

According to Swedipedia, LoLan was using the St. Lawrence River to gain access to the Great Lakes and thus the interior of Minnesota. Apparently, Minnesota had a perfect climate for the growing of the peanut/nutmeg hybrid (called peanutmeg).

LoLan resettled large numbers of out-of-work Swedish fishermen there to tend her harvest. Thus the Minnesotan contingent in her reg't. Interesting.

Information from Swedipedia should not be considered fact. It was created by the Swedish Neutrality Department to help inform the rest of the world what they should do and make them believe in the illusion of Swedish neutrality.

Maybe that is the reason we Swedes love Holland and the Dutch.

That's true Orm.

We're finding the info from that agency was pure propaganda.

Modeled along the lines of Goebbels' ministry. Which makes sense, since Hitler was Swedish.

Oh my God, was Goebbels Swedish too?

I can't take much more...

Info in this book is very suspect as we all know. It was written while A was on one of his famous BPB binges.

And on that bombshell I'm going to turn in for the night. Need to get my head around some of the discoveries unearthed here.... incredible. I mean seriously, you couldn't make it up.

Indeed.

I will turn in as well.

Good call. Off to the Ram for a few pints and a burger.

Goodnight Indiana.

There weren't any cows involved, were there? If there were, then which side of the BPB did they start with?
And did the Norwegians covertly aid the Swedes in setting up the Kensington Stone in Minnesota??
