The high vodka content in their blood keeps them from freezing.

True or false.

True!

More than that, you know whether or not you're sexually compatible with her before you have to sit through a date and shell out for 4 or 5 dinners.

You have to sort her out with breakfast in the morning though! lol

Scandanavian country. I thought I'd read something about one sauna for every 3 or 4 people in the country. It's not very densely populated, large areas of forests and lakes. Santa apparantly lives there. Lordi. They defeated the Sovjet army prior to WWII with the support of Germany (war material) and while doing so invented the Molotov cocktail (I think Molotov was a Sovjet general). Language is called Suomi, one of the Uralian languages (some of which include Icelandic and I believe Hungarian as well, but please correct me if I'm wrong). That's about all I can think of from the top of my head.

Last time I checked, Icelandic was Germanic just like the rest of Scandinavian languages.
OT: Suomi, alcohol hardcore drinkers, getting really cold, bathing in sauna then going into the snow naked, Nokia, destroying Soviets in WW2 like a boss. It is good to note that the Uralic languages are not part of indo-european languages which include most of Europe's languages, this shit could ( excluding the fact that I'm sure a lot of things were borrowed from Indo-European languages throughout the history) be as close to English as Japanese is.

Hence why you can speak English with them. They don't tell you to fuck off if you speak English with them, right?

Assuming they or the Finns can speak english properly, no problem.

But if you're representing a business and you try to sell them anything, good luck doing it in anything but swedish :P

I got interested in reading more about Finland after posting my initial guesses. Looking closer at the military side of things, I'm amazed at what you guys had to go through during WWII - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militar...g_World_War_II. You had 3 wars going on between 1939 and 1945.

Fascinating read...well at least for me .
