The exploits of the Icelandic football team recently may have inspired some of us to take a closer look at this tiny nation of 330,000 people.
There are some funny facts and trivia about this island that are downright quirky and bizarre. Like for instance;
10% of the population have an earnest belief that elves really exist, 80% at least keeps the possibility open and only 10% doesn't believe in elves.
A group of students developed a mobile app especially for Icelanders to check out if you have a blood relationship with someone you plan to have a date with. Considering that most Icelanders descend from the same group of colonists in the 8th century AD and have no family name, this is a pretty handy little tool.
A road under construction was detoured around a boulder because of the belief that this place was inhabited by elves.
Anything else you may know about Iceland and it's people? Feel free to share with us!
