All the links on that blog post are dead, but I'm sure that someone searching "Naken Russ" can find eventually find another source for these pics, or at least some similar ones. I'm not going to pursue it now, maybe later. Hope someone finds this helpful.

Well... I am norwegian, and belive me, having a lesson in the underwear is not a common ting.
It's true that we become "russ" after we finish high school, and party a bit, but there are very few who takes it that far, I've never heard of something like this before now.
What the guy in this blog writes h-t-t-p://bjornsmestad.blogspot.com/2005/05/russen.html is more or less true, like the "knuteregler" thing he mentions. Each school makes their own rules, or rather, the students makes their own rules. There might be one or two daring things like that, but rarely more, and it's even rarer that someone goes trough with it. It seems like that guy just have scooped around a bit and found many dares, and put his favourites on one list.
Sorry to disappoint you, belive me, I wish it was like that too
