- selimthegrim 1y agoWait until you hear about what the institute is called in the translation of Monday Begins on Saturday
- meling 1y agoHa, that’s funny! I got my PhD from NTNU, but never actually noticed that in English it becomes NUTS… NTNU is a Norwegian acronym for Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet.

I still have a T-shirt somewhere proudly sporting the domain name under the NTNU (Norwegian abbreviation for Norwegian University of Tecnology and Science) logo, slightly modified - the real logo is a circle bounded by a rounded square; the T-shirt has a hazelnut standing in for the circle.
