Yes it is, it is a Norweigian invention.

Is it? Didn't know that.

I love that other Norwegian thing though; that piece of rubber in the shape of half a circle at the end of a stick you can use to get absolute every last bit out of an almost empty bottle. So cheap it should've been Scottish

I knew about that a few months ago, always thought it was a Swedish invention.

Michael Faraday was the man who discovered electricity, he did not even invent it.

Edison however invented the lightbulb.
