Q: How do you get a blonde out of a tree?
According to this map – and if you really believe that blondes have less brains – a nasty fall like that is more likely to happen in the central parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland, where at least 80% of the population is fair-haired, the highest figure in all of Europe.
This map, indicating the varying degrees of blondness in Europe, shows how fair hair gets rarer further away from this core area – towards the south, as one intuitively might presume, but also towards the east, west and even towards the north.
The consecutive bands (coloured in such a way as to approximately represent the ‘average’ hair colour in each area) surrounding the core blonde area in Scandinavia in most cases don’t correspond with national boundaries, but could be taken to represent certain degrees of ethnic variation, often with a possible historical explanation.
I’ve no idea which year this map is from, but it seems fair to say – pun intended – that the larger mobility of people nowadays would make for a more diffuse distribution of hair colouration. Which dovetails nicely with this blonde joke:
Q: What did the blonde do when she heard that 90% of accidents occur around the home?
The map was sent to me by Faluvégi Balázs from Hungary, and can be found here on eupedia.com , together with other interesting maps showing the distribution of eye-colour, religion, ethnicity, GDP per capita, legal age to purchase and drink alcohol and even the legal status of cannabis.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of characters in The Librarian series . They are all characters who have appeared either in the Librarian television films, or the Librarians series .
Creator of "The Librarians", John Rogers, noted that Dean Devlin wanted to do a television version of the Librarian movies, in the style of the revived Doctor Who series. Unfortunately, because Noah Wyle was still doing Dark Skies , and Bob Newhart and Jane Curtain were only going to be available periodically, Rogers had to come up with a new approach, noting that Wyle did not want to be recast or replaced as the Librarian, so Rogers came up with the idea of creating a new team of heroes in the style of Doc Savage and team of experts approach. He notes that "Jacob Stone was written with Christian Kane in mind. He worked very hard on Leverage, and he choreographed all of his own fights", "Lindy Booth just straight-up out auditioned everybody" for the role of Cassandra, John Kim won his role by "just being charming as hell", and Rebecca Romijn is someone who "could throw a punch and who could land a joke". He also notes that John Larroquette's role is essentially a replacement for Bob Newhart's Judson, so they had to find someone with "a very specific sense of humor" and "somebody with insane chops". [1]
Editors Patricia Demers and Toni Samek, in their book "Minds Alive: Libraries and Archives Now", note that libraries are often identified with the aspirational, and as a result, viewers gleefully accept the heroic characters in "The Librarians", far removed from the typical safe, stereotypical representation of librarians [2] In her book "The Laughing Librarian", Jeanette C. Smith, compares Flynn Carsen to Indiana Jones , adventuring with the supernatural, but notes that Flynn's superpower is his "superior research skills". [3] Biographer Jonathan M. Farlow refers to Carsen as a "swashbuckling" hero who relies on "his wits". [4] Author Karen A. Romanko compares the show to Warehouse 13 in her book "Women of Science Fiction and Fantasy Television", and describes the key characters in "The Librarians", highlighting Colonel Baird's role as not only the protector of the lives of the librarians, but also of their immortal souls. She also notes how Cassandra's brain tumour gives her powers that help the team. [5]
A nerdish bookworm, Flynn is brilliant beyond compare. By the time he was 31 years old, he had earned 22 academic degrees—12 Bachelor’s degrees , 6 Master’s degrees , and 4 doctorates —including four degrees in Egyptology, a doctorate in Comparative Religions, and a Ph.D. in Cryptology. In the beginning of The Quest for the Spear , his Egyptology professor signs off on his 23rd degree. (The precise degree is not known, but it must be either a master’s degree or a Ph.D, because he already possesses a B.A., a B.S. or both in the relevant field.)
Practically addicted to learning, Flynn would have continued being a perpetual student had Professor Harris not awarded him the degree mid-term, making it impossible for him to sign up for another course for six months. Observing that Flynn did not know the names of any of his fellow students, the professor insisted that he get some real-world experience. Upon receiving a magical invitation, Flynn (asking how did they do that?) applied for a job as a librarian in the New York Metropolitan Library. He was successful in his job interview and was recruited into an ancient clandestine order of Librarians who have protected a range of historical and often magical items (such as the Ark of the Covenant ) for centuries.
Flynn is a polymath , highly intelligent and resourceful. He often gives voice to his speed-of-light thinking, which can be confusing—and annoying—to bystanders. A natural gift and years of study have made his powers of observation and deductive skills comparable to those of Sherlock Holmes . His ordinary skills (which did not qualify him for the job) include knowledge of the Dewey decimal system , the Library of Congress , research paper orthodoxy, web searching, and the ability to set up an RSS feed. En route to his first mission, Flynn managed to decode the previously untranslated Language of the Birds in just over seven hours, a feat that no other Librarian (save the one who created the book) had been able to accomplish. Flynn rapidly evolves into a brave hero, not easily overwhelmed by the supernatural.
When Flynn was still quite young, his father was shot by an unknown assailant. It took many years for Flynn to identify the murderer and discover the reasons behind it. He took clarinet lessons when he was young, and when he was nine years old he attended a book signing of Stephen Hawking where he began to argue with Hawking about the correctness of the central thesis of the book.
His geeky bookishness is coupled with a razor-sharp wit that unfortunately has a habit of manifesting itself at the worst times. Flynn really hates being corrected. He is a bit awkward meeting women, and his mother is constantly trying to set him up on dates. Over his first 10 years as Librarian, he is too busy globe-trotting and fighting evil to maintain a relationship, and after the deaths of two great loves he stays clear of emotional entanglements until he meets Colonel Eve Baird in the first episode of the TV series.
By the end of the third and last movie, he has fully embraced his destiny as the Librarian. During The Librarians series he is forced to step back from his usual duties when Charlene and Judson displace the Library in time and space in a desperate effort to protect it from evil forces ("And the Crown of King Arthur") Through its Annex, the Library prompts Flynn to track down three people—Ezekiel Jones, Cassandra Cillian and Jacob Stone—whom the Library invited to apply at the same time it recruited Flynn, 10 years before. None of them applied. Once found—and convinced of their callings—they formed a team of Librarians and assumed Flynn’s usual responsibilities of retrieving and protecting supernatural artifacts and guarding the Library and humanity from evil, while he dedicates himself to finding the Library and learning how to bring it back. Flynn returns when the situation requires his expertise—or when he needs them.
There is a running joke throughout the series: No matter what the situation, when Flynn announces or introduces himself with the words “I am The Librarian.” he is accepted as a person with a right to be there, no matter how inappropriate the context. Cassandra, Ezekial and Jacob try this repeatedly, but it does not always work for them. Flynn then reveals in the beginning of the episode, "And the Curse of Cindy" , that he uses magic in order to convince people whenever they question who he is, which momentarily shocked Jacob who despises using magic. In the last episode of The Librarians, it saves the world.
Noah Wyle describes the character as "Indiana Jones played by Don Knotts", and describes his journey as going from someone who was "a professional student ... incredibly comfortable in the realm of academia" to someone who "has a touch of madness about him now, his people skills are wanting, he’s very irreverent and very eccentric." As well as acting, Wyle contributed to the writing and directing of episodes of "The Librarians". [6] [7] Literary Hub rated Flynn Carsen as 18th best fictional librarian. [8] Wyle was nominated for Saturn Awards for his portrayal of the character in all three TV movies in 2005, 2007 and 2009. [9]
The humorless, no-nonsense library administrator who interviews Flynn for the job of 'The Librarian'. Flynn was granted the position after he was able to tell Charlene very specific things about her only a few minutes after their first meeting, based solely on his keen observation (among them, having mononucleosis, being divorced two months before, owning three cats, and breaking her nose as a child) and after answering a single question from an unseen Judson, “What's more important than knowledge?” with his mother’s wise words: “The things that make life worth living can not be thought here (pointing to his head), they must be felt here (hand over heart).”
In her role as administrator, Charlene is a consummate bureaucrat, threatening to dock Flynn's pay should he break something and insisting that he keep his receipts if he wishes to get refunds for the expenses of his adventures. She keeps a straight face when Flynn makes jokes. In her words, she does not "do funny."
In the TV series' first episode, "And the Crown of King Arthur", after Dulaque's attack on the Library, Judson and Charlene cast a spell to sever the Library from this plane in order to protect it.
In the season three episode "And the Fangs of Death", Charlene has retired to a remote Incan temple and wants nothing to do with the Library. Carsen seeks her out, and she agrees to return to help defeat Apep, but the next day her servants are dead and she's missing. Carsen finally finds her in Shangri-La in the episode "And the Fatal Separation". He discovers that she's been hiding among Sterling Lam's collection of supernatural beings and artifacts. Fearing that Apep could use her to access the Library, she's planning on sacrificing herself, severing her connection to it by giving up her immortality. Finally, Jenkins sends her to another plane of existence, where she rejoins Judson. Among her last words is the injunction to keep receipts. In the next episode, she talks with Flynn through a mirror.
(Note: Charlene's recent divorce is first mentioned in the movie "The Quest for the Spear", In the movie, "Curse of the Judas Chalice", Charlene reveals more about her divorce, saying her duty to the Library is what cost her her marriage, and calling her ex-husband "Gaston". This may well be a fake name for Galahad. It is revealed in the episode "And the Fatal Separation" that Galahad loved her and that she chose Judson. In the episode "And the Eternal Question", Jenkins (aka Galahad) tells Cassandra that his true love (whom we later find out is Charlene) chose another AFTER he "had already pledged his heart to her for all eternity", which is a strong indication that he and Charlene had married before she chose to remain eternally with Judson and the Library).
Dean Devlin speculated that Charlene had in her youth served as the Guardian to a Librarian, as Nicole did. This was officially made part of her history in the episode "... and the Fangs of Death."
Judson, as he is introduced in the first film, has previously served as 'The Librarian' and now acts as a mentor to those who take up the mantle. He has a tattoo from a time he served in the Marines and is very handy in a fight. He enjoys buying things on eBay and loves flying kites. He is able to use mirrors, Television screens and a technique resembling astral projection to communicate with the Librarian anywhere in the world, frequently at less-than-convenient times and places. He dies after the third film, five years before the first episode of the TV series. Flynn keeps his portrait, draped with crape, next to his desk. He tells Eve that Judson is still there in spirit; she is shocked to find this to be the simple truth when Judson appears in the full-length mirror that stands near his portrait.
It is hinted in the film Curse of the Judas Chalice that Judson may be the original founder of the Library, although he finds the suggestion that he might be more than 2000 years old "insulting". In season four of the series, however, it is confirmed that he is the original Librarian, that Charlene was his Guardian, and they performed the Tethering ritual that is one of the story arcs in that season. When the Serpent Brotherhood invades the Library, Judson and Charlene conduct a ritual that severs the Library from the physical reality's plane of existence and sends it into the void. Towards the end of season three, Charlene goes to join him into the void after dying. [10]
Bob Newhart said he was surprised at the success of the first movie, because of the message "that it's all right to be smart, which is not the most common message in popular culture", and that he loved the script and his character. [11]
Flynn’s mother, Margie, is constantly worried about her son and encourages him to get a job, find a bride, and be happy. She plays MahJong , likes to give surprise birthday parties and enjoys singing karaoke. She was delighted to meet Nicole at the end of the first film. It is revealed in the series premiere of " The Librarians " that she has died and that Judson helped Flynn through his mourning.
Edward Wilde was the 'Librarian' before Flynn, and he was considered to be very good. He worked with Nicole for two years during which time she fell in love with him. During an adventure in the Antarctic involving the Serpent Brotherhood, Wilde had to build an igloo to shelter himself and Nicole. He made it appear to Nicole that he had been killed by the Serpent Brotherhood, but in reality Edward staged his own death to ally himself with the Brotherhood in an effort to steal the Spear of Destiny and take control of the world.
Nicole is an adventurer who works for the library as the Librarian's Guardian, and usually serves as the brawn to the Librarian's brains. She is the youngest of three siblings and the only girl. Her mother is English , and her father is South American ( Argentine ), but she never bothered to learn Spanish . She never had any pets, and her favorite stone is jade (as mentioned in "The Librarian: Quest for the Spear"). She is fearless, loves adventure, and is an excellent fighter. She developed feelings for the previous Librarian, Edward Wilde, and felt an overwhelming sense of guilt when he was apparently killed. Judson told Flynn to "trust no one", a pun of Nicole's surname Noone.
In The Librarians it is revealed that Nicole got trapped five hundred years in the past while going after H.G. Wells ' Time Machine with Flynn. She becomes angry and bitter that Flynn never returned from her. Now immortal, Nicole acts as the primary antagonist of the fourth season, causing the death of Jenkins, the dissolution of the Library and a rift between the Librarians. After the Library is restored, Flynn uses an artifact to go back in time to the moment that Nicole first became immortal in order to right his wrong of never going back for her. Flynn convinces Nicole that she needs to remain in the past and still have her adventures, but this time to have them for the Library instead of against it. Nicole agrees, stating that she realizes now she is the Guardian of the Library itself instead of Flynn and promises that she will see Flynn again in five hundred years. When Flynn returns to the future, he finds that time has been altered and all of the evil that Nicole caused has been undone. Only Flynn and Baird ever remember Nicole's evil actions.
Jerry was a close friend of Flynn's father, whom he met in 1967, He knew both of Flynn's parents when they met and began courting. Jerry is wealthy and runs a global import-export business. In the course of an adventure to discover King Solomon's Mines, Flynn discovers that Jerry had always been jealous of Flynn's father. He wants to use the power of the Mines to turn back time so he can win the affections of Margie Carsen: He feels that she was stolen from him. It turns out Jerry was the unknown figure who shot Flynn's father, after Carsen refused to tell Jerry about the Mines.
Emily is an archaeologist who holds twenty-five degrees, three more than Flynn, and can argue convincingly about ancient history, Biblical texts, and geography. Emily teams up with Flynn to search for King Solomon's Mines, and may still be in Africa trying to prove that the Queen of Sheba actually ruled most, if not all, of Africa.
An elderly, crippled man who is a brilliant professor at the University of Bucharest. Seemingly harmless, he is taken hostage by the villainous Kubichek, who wants Lazlo to lead him to the Judas Chalice. Later it is revealed that he is none other than Dracula/Vlad the Impaler himself. After drinking from a victim infected by Cholera hundreds of years ago, he became weakened, assuming an almost-human, crippled form. Since then, he has searched for the Judas Chalice, hoping to reawaken his evil powers. After drinking from the Judas Chalice, Dracula regains his powers and battles Flynn and Simone Renoir. Flynn is able to trick Dracula with the Judas Chalice and then impale him through the heart with a stake made from an aspen tree, the same kind of tree from which Judas Iscariot hung himself. Dracula dies, releasing the souls of all of his victims and burning to ash in the process.
