This reminds me of an American (what else) at the EUUG conference in Copenhagen, who, after comparing his system to Lego blocks asked, ``Do you have Lego in Denmark?''. Birkenstocks may be found in Germany (where they are manufactured and not actually referred to as Berkeley sandals), most of Europe and Canada, and even in some of the lesser civilized parts of the world (like Pittsburgh not more than a mile from CMU). I am sure that they can be found somewhere near Newark. If not, try mugging a Lufthansa or Virgin Atlantic flight attendant. They are really worth the effort.
