      And it always puts a smile on my face. For example, in Finnish: Batman is Lepakkomies (Lepakko = bat, mies = man), so as soon as I saw "Nahkhiirmees", I deducted it means Batman.
      Nahk = nahka in Finnish, hiir=hiiri. Hence "leather mouse man" :D

      It's a joke in our culture. If you watch interviews of Finnish athletes from early 2000(some more recently, but gotten better) they all have horrible pronunciation. It sounds pretty much like that. So we have started calling it "rally english" , not sure about origin, but I bet it's because we had famous rally drivers who couldn't speak English.

    Lyrics of a Finnish song (no joke, they are real):
    Saatana vittu perkele
    Welcome to my world of death and pain
    Oh it drives you so insane
    I am no blast from the past
    Because I'm death and I'm everlast
    I'm the future breed, evil and mean
    A fucking killing machine
    No-one will stay alive and see
    They all will die and join me
    Fuck you and die, Living is so damn painful
    It's coll to be dead and grateful
    Nothing can hurt you anymore
    Anyhow death is so much more
    You can just kill, kill and kill
    Just kill em all if you will
    Do you still wanna stay alive
    Or join me by my side
    [Chorus:]
    I am the Death Unlimited
    And death is all I have to give
    I'll tell you the meaning of life
    It's not to live but to die
    I am the Death Unlimited
    And death is all I have to give
    Let me spill your sweet blood
    And to you I am god
    Can you feel the dark side calling
    It's useless to resist
    Give in to fear, hate and anger
    Then life won't take your time any longer
    Only I am by your side
    Soon your life is gone
    And that I adore

    FACT: Finnish baseball was invented to train and prepare soldiers for Finnish Army. Thanks to baseball Finns were fit and tough for Soviets in the Winter War . Baseball which was one of the main sport in the school taught young kids how to throw grenades, how to take cover and dive into foxholes and trenches and kept them physically in a good shape.

      FACT: that was more of a marketing thing to get suojeluskunta (finnish militia 1918-1944) excited about it. Getting young men into this new sport was a key thing to make it succeed.
      It wasn't really invented for military purposes, but selling it this way was a win-win situation.
