Yep, and he's a funky lil' bugger, has more character than Bill Gates and Paul Allen combined :P

Very cheap cigarettes and alcohol, compared to the rest of the scandinavia

I couldn't say, because the last and only time I was there predates my birthday by 5 months.

I'm crazy and remember it! Or...
because my mom told me? <.<

I meant why the hell do you know where you were conceived?

I'd trepan myself and pour bleach into the hole just to attempt to un-hear that.

I said 5 months, and what's the problem with knowing that my parents went to Finnland at that time. You're weird!

For some reason most people forget this, even though it should be right up there on the biggest and best things to come out of here, besides Santa Claus ofc.

oh yeah, sorry!
The most computer savy folks in my social circle loves Linux and has done so for many, many years, I have never gotten around to using it though.

Amundsen was norwegian though.

Well it's true that they keep reducing public funding for mental institutes in Finland, so ppl like this one are roaming free on the streets.

Finland, one of our neighbors to the east. Land of a thousand lakes, nokia and the sauna. They also have a weird "sport" where they carry their girlfriend.
Extremely strange language, of which I know "perkele" and used to know "do not cover" (used to be on heaters when I was a kid XD). It's always fun to challenge your friends to read the finnish labels on stuff, sounds ever stranger than an actual Finnish person speaking.

They aren't that much of a fan of the Swedes, which is always a good thing! They also sound funny when they speak Swedish, they get this very stereotypical accent that has led to a lot of comedy.
In recent years, the finnish guy on youtube eating licorice is gold. And of course more madness from Finland, the dudesons. Much better than jackass.

Iv'e actually been to Finland once, in vaasa or whatever the name was. The hotel had a kick-ass water slide, that my little brother almost fell off because he gained so much speed.
