Postal mail for the districts of Nørrebro and í˜sterbro should be addressed to "København N" and "København í˜" respectively.
The postal district of central Copenhagen is called "København K".
What does the K stand for?

Grrr, should have asked the equally un-googleble "What does the S in København S stand for"

Hmm thinking about it I think the answer is 'Købmagergade'.
Because København S stands for Sønderbro, which is the name of the main post office in 2300. Following the same logic the 1000 numbers should be named after the main post office in the area, which is Købmagergade

"Kbh. K= kentrum (center på latinsk, stjålet fra Celtisk) Købmagergade hedder oprindelige Bjørnebrogade(der var en å der løbet fra den nuværende Hausers Plads nedad Købmagergade ind i havet) fordi der var en bro i gammle dag der gik fra den ene side af Købmagergade over for Ilium til Silkegade for der kommer kystlinien dertil for mange, mange år siden. Købmagergade's postkontor var engang en palæ. Anyway, K=Kentrum"

Close, but actually K=Kity (city på engelsk, stjålet fra Phransk)....
Just kidding. But it's wrong, and the quality of that post should have alluded to that fact

København K = København København
Probably a bit like the way Manhattan, I think, is just NY New York.

Btw. I experienced something weird on wikipedia today. I was reading something, wanted to know more and clicked on a link. The article was empty, i.e. no-one had written anything yet. What puzzled me was a warning box on the bottom of the page:
Du er ikke logget på!
Din IP-adresse vil blive gemt i denne sides redigeringshistorik. For at undgå at din IP-adresse offentligøres, kan du oprette dig som bruger.
If that is the case... isn't it a bit sick that wikipedia will publicise someones ip-adress just because he was the first person to attempt to read an article?

Correct.
Hmm... that page was written today, only two hours before my post. That's actually a freak coincidence!
I was certain that my question was ungooglable since I had to give up googling the question a couple of years ago and sent an email to the postal service. This is the main content of that email, but it's quite similar to Laluu's link:
Det er en lidt længere forklaring .
"udviklingshistorien" tog sin begyndelse med omdelingen af post i 1841.
Man fandt hurtigt ud af, at man måtte vide præcis HVOR en postmodtager
boede, for at være sikker på, at det var den korrekte person, man
afleverede brevene til. Det førte til indførslen af husnumre i 1859.
Så fandt man i løbet af de næste år ud af, at brevene kunne komme
hurtigere frem, hvis man kunne "pakke og sende" brevene mere direkte til
det sted, hvorfra brevene skulle omdeles, og om dette udgik der en
bekendtgørelse i 1876.
I bekendtgørelsen står der at postafsenderne får fremskyndet og forbedret
omdelingen af post i Københavns området sådan: Man skal forkynde på
brevets forside ( foruden en tydelig bopælsangivelse ( typisk gadenavn og
husnummer, (red.) ) i hvilket af de københavnske posthuses
omdelingskredse, adressatens bopæl er beliggende. På breve til omdeling
fra Kjøbenhavns Brevpostkontors Omdelingskreds ( i dag kaldet Postområde
Købmagergade (red.)) benyttes bogstavet: K.
Ordningen trådte i kraft 1. marts 1876.
En lille tilføjelse: Også dengang var der en omdelingskreds, der hed
København C ( det var på Christianshavn ) I dag anvendes C'et for post med
relation til Københavns Post Center, og den daværende omdelingskreds er nu
en del af: København K.
............
Derfor må svaret være: K for " Kjøbenhavns Brevpostkontors Omdelingskreds"
But yeah, basically the K stands for København.

Regarding the Wikipedia question, your ip-address will only be recorded if you actually make any changes. If you do this anonymously, Wikipedia won't have a name to put on the log as the one who made the changes; so they put your ip-address.
So... my turn?

What is his name and his claim to fame?
Have to think of another question, because I keep getting the message:
"invalid file name or file size".
So... who is this guy?
Hint #1: He is a famous sports star.

Yes, Andy Fordham it is. (He looks very different, now that he has lost weight).

This time i have chosen a riddle. Here goes:
As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?
P.S. Try figuring this out without using Google... Thats just to easy.
