Opera CEO starts Atlantic swim...

[Zim Hosein]

Tetzchner said last week that he would swim from Norway to the United States if Opera 8 was downloaded a million times in its first four days of release. Because this target was exceeded over the weekend, the executive has agreed to keep to his promise.

"Although I blatantly admit that my promise was based more on joy and enthusiasm than my swimming abilities and physical health, I will do my very best to keep it," he said in a statement.

I'm thinking there'll be a coast gaurd rescue taking place tomorrow.

There's no way that that little dingy would even hold enough food for someone to swim across the atlantic, or even to Iceland.

Anyone else find it funny that it's their PR Man that's going along?
