Where is Gali(nette)?

You know you've lived in Finland too long when... you don't start giggling when you see "megapussi" written on a crisps bag. Or "expresspussi" for that matter. For me "pussi" is a bag, it's not related in any way, shape or form to the English "pussy".

Actually when I saw people laughing at "jussipussi" I couldn't even get what was funny because I didn't read it as "juicy pussy", I read it with the "j" not being the way j's are pronounced in English.

So yeah, I think I've officially been here too long :D

It's just too brilliant not to actually post the whole thing... (from here originally)

It can't have escaped anyone's notice that the net is crawling with Finns. Despite the fact that their total population is laughably small, at any given time around 60% of people online anywhere turn out to be Finnish. Even if you seek refuge on forums entirely dedicated to ancient mongolian skin complaints, at some point a Janni or Tommi or Aaasol will show up and be irritatingly chirpy.

Sinister, isn't it? Fortunately my army of gimp researchers are on the case and are now ready to reveal the TRUTH about evil, evil Finland. Here we go....

1- The Winter War. What the hell happened there? When Joe Stalin's T-34's rolled into central Europe the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS screamed like girls and ran away. However all it took was a few dozen of Santa's little helpers lobbing snowballs and the Russkis bottled out in Finland. What really happened? Is the truth too horrible to reveal.

2- Linux. Open-source coding meant that the entire structure of Western capitalism was under threat. Fortunately all that happened was that a few dozen ubergeeks experienced immediate and uncontrollable climax while the rest of the world yawned and loaded up Windows. Try harder, evil Finns.

3- Anyway, I've heard that Linus Torsvald smells of chisels.

4- When Tolkien wanted to create a people who were inhuman, pointy-eared and as camp as Butlins, whose language did he base their speech on? Yup- you guessed it.

5- Mobile phones. Utterly dominated by those skulking trolls between Sweden and Russia. Their phones get smaller every day- ideal for those spindly elven fingers, but damning the rest of humanity to cordless communication serfdom. Do you think you're going to get away with it?
