    hmm.. interesting....

    from the article:

    "Only the Dominican Republic, New Zealand and Finland
    have higher crime rates than England and Wales."

    and now from the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs web page:

    "Although the crime rate in Finland is low compared to the U.S. and most European countries, it has increased in recent years. However, Finland remains a relatively safe environment. "
    " Street crimes, such as muggings and pickpocketing, remain relatively uncommon, but do occur. "

  3. Re:am I missing something here? on Cell Phone Ringtones Give Music Industry Another Headache · · Score: 1

    a famous finish pop band actually released one of their
    hits as a ringingtone first. I think it was 3 of 4 years ago.
    To curse about someones ringingtone is somehow so '90.. ;)

    The next thing (tm) is small cellphone games made about
    the newest scandal. Made fast by small companies to ride the wave of the scandal...

    umm... forget that.. its allready old news.. ;)


  4. Re:It's turtles all the way down! on Black Holes No More -- Introducing the Gravastar · · Score: 1

    Terry Pratchett in " The science of Discworld"
    in the chapter Beginnings and becommings, talking about the beginning of time and space.
    The prase is that of a old hindi woman, who is asked where the turtle who holds the world stands on.
    "now change turtles into time and down into back" The chapter goes about what, if anything, is holding up the whole pile. The whole book is very good.
