I like long walks on the beach, martinis and juicy steaks. Not to mention Chopin, Beethoven and Schubert.

Some know me as "MN Dave".

I have to say that I hadn't noticed that before...
I just assumed that it's some Ye Olde English form of Björn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjorn)

I was just kidding of course.

As for Olde English Form of Spelling, I doubt it. It may just be Bjorg. They don't teach spelling in Minnesota.

Surely not with a G? And that j isn't very common in English, I can imagine it being replaced by e in this case (Byorn would obviously be closer to the original).
Minnesota???

Certainly, and a great character he is. I have read the thing two or three times, albeit translated in Finnish (an excellent translation). Some day I should get the English original.
