Don’t Ask Nanna: About Ask Guðmundur

Dear Nanna,

What is the deepest ravine in Iceland?

– Spelunker

Dear Spelunker,

The Prime Minister’s approval ratings!

ZING!

– Nanna

Dear Nanna,

I read in the news this week that Inspired by Iceland has launched a human search engine called Ask Guðmundur. How does it feel to have a rival?

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT,

Dear Travel Junkie,

There are enough stupid questions to go around.

Example:

#AskGuðmundur Does everyone in Iceland have blue eyes? http://t.co/eP8RGDSa2O

Donnie probably contacted Guðmundur because he wanted a kind-hearted, friendly Icelander to diligently explain with words and science that “no, not all Icelanders have blue eyes because genetics, haha.”

Donnie probably didn’t contact me because he doesn’t know I exist and if he did he wouldn’t want a snarky Icelander to imply his Twitter account was being haunted by the ghost of Dr. Mengele.

Something I now suspect to be the case.

Best,

Snark Junkie

Dear Nanna,

What do puffins sound like?

Thank you,

Dear Power Puff,

Puffins are known for their husky and sexually potent baritone voices.
