Donkey's Bridge

The story of the Tower of Babel is a facinating one, so much so that someone decided to make a big Hollywood movie out of it. Now, this movie "Babel" was on its way up to Tromsö for a prepremiere that we were all really looking forward to. But like the building of the tower itself, the mission turned out to be impossible.



I see the connection here: the Tower of Babel was supposed to reach the heavens but then something went wrong and the people building it were left with different languages and were scattered all around. The "Babel" was supposed to reach Tromsö but then something went wrong and all the people waiting for it were left mumbling in their own languages and wondering around Tromsö. Well, in Finland we would call that connection a donkey's bridge, which means that it's a little far fetched. Aaanyway, luckily Hollywood has provided us with a subsitute movie called "The Devil Wears Prada" that will bring us all together again to speak the one and only true language, English.
