Sverde i Fjell: (Swords in Rock) a monument near Stavanger in Norway, to commemorate a battle in the year 872, which resulted in the unification of Norway into one kingdom. It was the custom in those times that when the battle finished, everyone stuck their swords into the ground, and went off to the pub. Edit: the highest sword is 30m (=100ft) tall.
