Hi James,

This is just me keeping myself amused.  Not being a native speaker
of Old Norse or even Modern Icelandic, I can't promise that it's
grammatically accurate, and I certainly wouldn't want to ruin the
reputation of the mighty Rosetta Project!  Hopefully if Haukur has
time he'll point out any major flaws.
