Join us on April 1st for a lecture by Norwegian government troll hunter Hans Trolljegeren. Hans conspicuously tracks and kills trolls in northern Norway at the behest of the Norwegian government. His techniques include shining bright concentrated lights at the trolls and playing loud pop music, this has the effect of turning the trolls into stone or causes them to explode, depending on their age. Hans will be joining us on his US speaking tour. He flew from Oslo to the States on the new Boeing Dreamliner 787, “Pure luxury, I watched films and drank pop the whole flight, it was lovely,” said Hans of his trip. Mr. Trolljegeren will be delighted to answer any questions you may have about his work. He would also be happy to demonstrate his troll hunting technique on blow-up troll dolls in the woods around town after his talk.
