you have to wonder why some places on this earth were even inhabited.. they were miserable! what was Finland's pre-Vatican religion? Shared with the Norse Vikings, or something else entirely?

not really they had their own religion and myths.

This is of course humor, as we are talking on Something Awful. The correct way of getting a seat on the top bench is to throw more water on the stove until someone gives up, collapses or dies. Usually people do not give up before suffering some degree of burns if you sit in a prestigious public sauna.

Also, sauna is the place where you live and die. gently caress you for making me pick a specific Finnish person who broke the tradition.

lol

On 7 August 2010, Russian finalist and former third-place finisher Vladimir Ladyzhensky and Finnish five-time champion Timo Kaukonen passed out after six minutes in the sauna, both suffering from terrible burns and trauma. According to a spectator who asked not to be identified, Kaukonen was able to leave the sauna with assistance, but Ladyzhensky had to be dragged out, and almost immediately went into cramps and convulsions.

Ladyzhensky's autopsy concluded that he had died of third-degree burns. His death was aided by his use of strong painkillers and local anesthetic grease on his skin. Kaukonen was competing according to the rules.

There's a story behind the name, actually. During the war, the Russians used these giantass cluster bombs to bombard Finnish cities, while one of their politicians - named mMlotov - loudly denied accusations of bombing civilian targets, claiming they were shipments of bread to a starving people. So Finns started first calling those bombs 'Molotov breadboxes'.. and when they started mixing firebombs, they'd say they were sending Molotov a drink back as a thank-you for all the bread.

So yeah. don't gently caress with a Finn - we don't get even, we get creative.

I like the story on how finns would place frozen russian soldiers upright next to roads to troll the russians.
