I'm guessing this might be a mystery like no other.

"A curious 100-year-old package will be opened [http://www.vgtv.no/#!id=55551], at noon tomorrow in Norway, and it's got folks on reddit in guessing-game mode.

The nearly 7-pound, 16-inch-long package was bestowed on the town of Sel in 1912 by then mayor Johan Nygaard with strict instructions to open it in 2012. It's survived two world wars and was nearly put out with the trash twice. Predictions about its contents range from the fictional Blue Star diamond featured in "Titanic" to valuable oil-share certificates.

These days, a suspicious package is more likely to be greeted with a bomb squad than a marching band, but trusting Norwegians are so hyped up they'll be live-streaming the event".

Are there any of our Norwegian members (or anyone else), care to take a stab at guessing what might be in the package?

It's an invoice for something that has been charged 100 years of interest.
Don't open it. You'll get stuck with the bill. (har har har :tongue_sm)

Frozen head. He's gonna be annoyed that we can't fix him, even after a hundred years. Living in the future has always been a big disappointment to me.
 
It'd be funny if it had a piece of paper inside that just said "Disappointment" (or "Skuffelse", or whatever the Norwegian word is). One of history's greatest pranks, in fact.
 
Sensitive information! Wait 100 years so all the involved people are dead and then you release this information. Maybe the identity of Jack the Ripper? :biggrin1:

They'll open it in about 6 hours so I'm very excited!
