Post by: Whitey33 on September 22, 2008, 12:42:07 PM: Reason i asked is because in small country like Finland (population 5 000 000+) sometimes when somebody makes career abroad, media makes it look like he/she is known all over the world. I gave some examples that crossed my mind only for see does anyone sounds familiar to u guys and to see if they was so known as we here are thinking.

There is one you probably know, but she has only finnish roots:

Pamela Anderson WOOT :lol

I hope you give me more answers.

Post by: avionix on September 22, 2008, 05:19:01 PM: Yeah it is. I think they have something called lutefisk over there. Some of the people in Minnesota ate when I was there. It's whitefish soaked in lye for a few days and then washed. The nastiest smelling and tasting stuff I ever ate. But lefse ain't too bad. That is more of a potato tortilla.

Juha Veikko Valjakkala

I think Valjakkala isnt known in States. Btw. nowadays his name is Nikita Joachim Fougantine or something like that. He´s got out from jail this year and is now in parole. Are you Swedish Bodhi? "En Finne igen!"
