Default Are you a " Block head " ?

No one got this bonus question. The answer is--

A blockhead is a term for a Norweigian. Supposedly it
comes from square head, meaning square-dealing and fair.

Norway is a nautical country. Today they make, or rebuild
the best commerical fishing, and processing boats in the world.

I have a friend who crewed on an American keeled, Norweigian
rebuilt, fishing boat in the Bering Sea for a few years. They
processed the fish right on the boat and reused some of the fish
oil for fuel.

Lots of people lose fingers, limbs, and lives in that industry.
