Really? Well, they are weird! Another breed entirely. A very
masculine ideal. Ever heard of Finnish vodka? Had a Finnish guest
lecturer once, he insisted on talking in English, totally
incomprehensible. Better than Finnish, of course, (Finnish is totally
weird, excellent for cursing, I better not... I don't think JCL will
approve.). The weird thing is, his Swedish WAS comprehensible, but
English it was...
(Finland is not a scandinavian country methinks, but nordic, we stick
together because we used to be alone up here with the USSR. (We've got
some company now, with the 3 micros)
