Among all religious beliefs, the Greek pantheon of colorful gods is perhaps the best described in the history of all human religiosity.

I know the answers is probably no, but I will try anyway. The Little Mermaid So ok, let's start with a puzzle, if you thought of little mermaid and Hans Christian Andersen, quantum mechanics and Niels Bohr, famous Hamlet's "To be or not to be" in Shakespeare's old play, amazing cuisine with cookies, pretzels and Carlsberg beer, LEGO world, handball team and Caroline Wozniacki, what country would it be? The answer, for a very few of you who didn't guess is of course Denmark. One of top developed country of European Union. According to the United Nation's first ever World Happiness Report, Denmark has taken the top spot followed by Finland, Norway and the Netherlands. When I first read about this I was skeptical since happines
