Some say he never told a lie, others say he did. Nobody knows the truth and actually, nobody cares.

King Arni only ruled for 4 days, the shorted reign of any king in the history of Iceland. In these 4 days though, he managed to repair the bridge over Laugardalslækur and buy a lot of cool stuff from abroad. Amongst the things he bought was a big dildo (a very welcome gift to Icelandic women everywhere, although they did have to take turns using it, which was a little bit disgusting, but mainly just inconvenient).

By the third day of his reign the people of Iceland had grown tired of Arni. They asked him to leave but he said no. Then they asked him again but he again said no. This went on for one more day before he finally said yes. However he did not leave on his own accord when the time came. Nobody wanted to make a scene by throwing him out so everyone just pretended he didn't exist. A new king was then crowned (Skakkalappakappalappi Runólfs II) and nobody listened to Arni's complaints. After having lived by his own in a corner of the Icelandic palace for three decades, without anybody so much as looking at him, Arni finally gave up and committed suicide. Nobody bothered to bury him and thus he still lies there, in his corner of the palace, a rotten corpse and a stain on the carpet.
