Lille Mand - Eight year old Mathis writes an essay for school entitled, "How to Understand Women." (via Neatorama) (It will be slow to load. Also, there is brief shower nudity so NSFW)

Isn't there a real life version of this story, where the essay was picked up for a book deal?

The file has been renamed due to excessive linking. I don't want to help that, so I suggest searching Google for lm.mov site:rasmusheise.dk The movie is in that list of files.

There's this, which is close.

I just saw a story on xbonesgt's link at the Beeb this morning. I haven't looked at the original link, but the BBC story makes it sound formulaic and absurd.

It's "Mathias." (my own brother's name, so that popped out at me)

Cute story.

Yes, it is Mathias. You'd think I could at least keep typos out of the main post. There is no future in editing for me I'm afraid.

The video file has been removed from the site.

A little Googling, like I mentioned above, reveals that the file has only been renamed.

I thought it was pretty creepy, actually.
