weird coincidence of the day:

wax_jism lives, of all the univesities in finland, closest to åbo akademi in turku, where they speak swedish all the time and all of the children are above avg. etc. etc.

so was browsing pop_icons and stumbled across an icon posted by waxed (...) whose default icon is:

I spent a few minutes thinking whether the above was geographically true, or not. And came to the conclusion that it probably is. University of Turku (http://www.utu.fi) is about 250 m away from ÅA and The School of Economics and Business Administration (http://www.tukkk.fi) about 150m (distances between admin buildings, the campuses sort of blend) from UfT, both to the north-east, so technically they are farther from Pargas.

... and all of the children are above avg. etc. etc.

Oh, really? I'd like to state for a fact that we here at UfT are pretty cool, too. Even if our admin building isn't nearly as pretty as theirs.

oh. american joke. uh, there's this show on public radio, 'a prairie home companion,' which broadcasts from the fictional location of lake woebegone minnesota, motto: 'where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and ALL of the children are above average.' you can get doormats like this with your family's name instead of 'lake woebegone' one them.
