My girlfriend has said that me and my fellow fins are and i quote

'absolutly insane and should all be locked up' - This is due to the fact that fins do some very strange things.

But are they really that strange?

Fins love saunas their a finnish invention and there are actual mini religion that belive that have a sauna every day leads to a good life (or atleast good hygene) Now we spend around 3 hours everyday in a sauna - this is rather normal to most people. Then we go bash ourselves with clumps of birch branches and then run naked and jump into a freezing lake... was wrong with that???

Another one is me and my cousins new sport where you geta snowboard and a tow rope and attach yourself toa super charged snowmobile and do leaps of snow drifts doing about 150mph.. I admit its dangerous but again what is wrong with that?

Up here (and i do mean up) we all live underground our buildings are only oe storey tall and the bedrooms are underground, this is for the conservation of heat and the fact that for 6 months is bright and have you ever tried sleeping when its bright all the time?

And my final question... what is wrong with cutting intoa lake and removing a 10x10 square of ice that is normally five feet deep and putting on a dry suit and going for a swim under the ice? This is good fun and only 2 people a year doing it... thats l;ess than the people who are killed by objects falling from the sky and killing them...

So...

What strange things do you do... this will (i hope) not make me so strange and will put my faith back into finland that is so desperatly trying to shrug off the label 'New Zealand of the north'

Sometimes when I brush my teeth, I move my head from side to side instead of my arm. I look goofy.

Wow now that is STRANGE!

Did you know that over 3000 people a year die in wieghtlifting accidents? 62% of them happen in the states.... trying to work all that fat off i suppose

We are a fat, lazy country I haven't died in the gym yet, thank God.

I have a pic somewhere of a guy who had his neck crushed after dropping 140 pounds on it.... a nasty way to go...

Another one if this but i find it strange... a daredevil had to legs ripped opff after two 500 pound weights were attached to his legs... why? WHY! would you do that? He was an american to... this all makes me feel normal.

we let mexicans into california, but that's more of a stupid thing then a strange thing.

hehe. An American dude killed himself because he was using a cell phone while walking, wasn't paying attention, smacked into a telephone pole and broke his neck. I don't think you can get any stupider than that.

i've seen two men attach chains to their nipple rings and then to a full metal beer canister thing, like the ones they have in pubs, you've seen em, and lift it using their nipples.

also they lifted a table by nailing their tongues to it.

and other shit too.

I dunno people do some stupid things, i know there was a bloke who got his arse stuck to a glcier and had to be cut free and had to have skin grafts on his ass... question is what the hell was he doing rubbing his bare arse on a glacier for?

Was there a paticularyly penis shaped piece of ice?

i guess using their hands would've been too complicated...

hm.............. ouch??

wow..

well at least us Dutch are normal..

*phew*

then you have us.. the australians.. that have nothing else to do but "throw a shrimp on the barbie" or wrestle wombats... koalas... crocs... bleh

I know an Australian guy. He's definitely bizarre. We were talking about the movie Deuce Bigalow and the fat chick in it. Then he tells us that he once had sex with a chick who was just that fat. He demonstrated through a series of hand gestures how this was done. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. I think I did both.

i once crawled under a fold back chair....and got stuck.... sure it aint as stupid as other things but...its stupid enough

..

..I'm from Eire..

..doesn't that warrant unending pity n' remorse alone?..

Did it look like swimming?

My brother once poured bleach and drano down the sink to get rid of a clog. (we were worried that it would have caused a dangerous chemical reaction, luckily it didn't)

Another time he tried to flush plaster that had nails and screws mixed in down the toilet. I doubt he'll ever become a plummer.

A friend of mine spent the entire day using all these different products on a tub drain that his girlfriend claimed was clogged . . . It wasn't clogged, the drain plug was in.

yucl.. that was just wrong

heh... what weird things do we have over here... well, there's a big rock that resembles a bull, a pair of mountains that if you look them from afar, they look like a pair of well formed boobs (perverts that we are)...

and some gal stayed in a house of crystal(in the middle of a shopping mall) living there for 60 consecutive days. and the people just lurken, and waiting for her bathtime... what people do for money... hehe...
