Why is the area of Norway, Sweden, and Finland called "Scandinavia"? What is the significance of that somewhat peculiar title? Which famous system used every year and introduced, in its current form, in 1979 is coming close to having to use the Greek alphabet for the first time? What did American Airlines eliminate in 1987 that saved the airline $40,000 that year? Is it true that there is a hotel in Sweden built entirely out of ice, and it is rebuilt every year?
