That’s how it works, right?
“It’s not every day that one steps on a sword in the lake!” Mikael Nordström from Jönköpings Läns Museum told The Local when explaining the significance of the find.
But that’s exactly what happened to [Swedish Girl Who Found A Sword], who found the relic at the Vidöstern lake in Småland earlier this summer.
“I felt something in the water and lifted it up. It was a handle, and I told my dad that it looked like a sword!” Saga told Sveriges Radio, recalling the moment. “It was pretty cool and a bit exciting.”
More here. Does ‘[her name]’ mean the same thing in Swedish as it does in English? Because if it does, that would be AWESOME. Although, seriously: so is finding the sword. They should get that kid something neat for finding it.

PS: In case anybody’s wondering: Sweden is in fact still a constitutional monarchy, and everybody’s apparently fairly chill about it. You know how Western Europe can be about this sort of thing.
PPS: Oh, go ahead.
There *will* be a Queen of Sweden: Princess Victoria is already next in line due to absolute primogeniture. This could get interesting.

popcornstack of meatballs.So Sweden has some kind of crazy Geo-caching lottery that gives anybody the chance to be the sovereign? They certainly have a peculiar way of doing things over there. Maybe that’s why my stepdaughter liked it there so much.
