I should have known that Monty Python wouldn’t neglect the Norwegian hammer theme in their work. In one of their comedy sketches they refer to the Trondheim Hammer Dance, “a dance which was done every 25 minutes in the town of Trondheim in which the old ladies were struck about the head with large clubs”. Trondheim Hammer Dance has come to refer to any gathering where a defenseless group of people are beaten up by soldiers or police for no particular reason.
