One of my favourite books as a kid. :)

Happy Birthday, J.M. Barrie!
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
- "Into Battle"
{Ensiferum}

All mys tudents had fun with this today. As a rule they are not allowed to play games in the library. However, this was on google and hence they said they could play it. Blah, I didn't even go there.

But 30 years? Oh my!
