| The Bishop who named all of the milk cans in Ísland, the brúsi, has been honored with a statue made of fiberglass. It is located next to the church where he was a bishop at Skálholt, Ísland. It is said that Bishop Brúsi liked the looks of all milk containers and always called them by his own name, the name that has been used since then for the milk container, the brúsi. | |
