Aker river runs white A mishap involving the delivery of paint in downtown Oslo on Friday left the River Aker colored an eerie shade of white.

A delivery truck lost a pallet of paint outside a shop on Friday morning after a lifting belt broke, and 440 liters (116 gallons) of white paint ran into the Oslo river.

"We have been told that the river is quite white. We are now out gathering water samples now," said Hanne Tomter of Oslo's Department of Water and Sanitation.

Tomter was unsure what the effects of the water soluble paint on river wildlife would be.

"The fish are vulnerable and we assume that we will be notified by the public if fish die," Tomter said. She had no idea if the paint posed a risk to humans, but said that this was hardly the time of year for people to be wading in the river.

Honey, Let's go paint the river white!

[BenLurkin]

A river of milk?

That must be next to the river which flows honey.

Norway has no imagination...

I can't imagine the wildlife would flourish swimming in paint. {{{insert rolling eyes}}}

Memo to self: Avoid German Whitefish.

Even in Norway they know that it's gauche to wear white after Labor Day...
