Grünerløkka
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Grünerløkka is a city in Norway, situated among beautiful fjords and large expanses of ice. Beautiful ones.
[edit] History
Founded in the early middle ages, Grünerløkka was initially a small farming community where sheep and crops competed for food among the aforementioned fjords and ice. Despite some small success at agriculture, the locals soon turned to trading and built large pulleys to haul passing ships in over the ice to buy and sell their wares. This was the first known use of the "captive market" strategy.
Grünerløkka became a centre of culture and entertainment during the Viking era, when loot from English monasteries provided the needed capital to invest in fire to thaw much of the local area. Grünerløkka Vikings were known for their high-traction boots and fondness for anything warm. Archeologists believe that natives of the settlement travelled as far as China in their study Viking ships and almost certainly discovered America before everyone other than the people that already lived there.
[edit] Modern Times
Today Grünerløkka is considered the most modern place in Norway, full of biodomes, sentient plants and ten universities dedicated to researching the unknown mysteries of science. In 1974 the city was moved seventeen years into the future, meaning that today it exists in almost the same time-zone as Japan.
It is a very popular place to go out for drinks or a party, despite gangs of drunk hobos who attack unwary visitors to the area. With one bar per ten people, the town is known for boisterous fun and a high organ-donation rate.
Some claim that "Grünerløkka RULES!!!!!!!!!!!", but no one is quite sure what it's ruling. The city is twinned with Newcastle, despite the other city claiming never to heard of this fact.
