Everything is News in July…


…in Finland.

A photo she took moments later was published in the country’s largest newspaper and possibly in other papers as well. Here’s what is was about.

 

Jaakko and the Cold Stone

This year Jaakko’s cold stone was cooled using organic methods i.e. a wet towel. Everybody knows that if you are on a beach and put a wet towel over you, you will soon be feeling cold.

See the alarm clock that is always 12 o’clock. Their water temperature meter was also fixed at -49 degrees Celsius.

Read my yesterday’s entry about Jaakko throwing a cold stone that cools down the waters if you are lost what this is about.

Jaakko Threw the Cold Stone Again!

Today the Unscientific Society of Finland threw a cold stone to Cholera Basin and the stone will eventually cool down the whole Baltic Sea. According to an old Finnish belief on 25th July Jaakko will throw a cold stone to a lake and as a result our lakes start to get colder and colder every day.

This year the traditional stone was from Switzerland and it was cooled down organically. The society admitted that their actions have caused problems with a Swiss (CERN?) particle accelerator: When you pick a stone it will be replaced with a black hole. And black holes will attract all kinds of objects towards them.

I know that next year Jaakko won’t be able to ruin the swimming season on the shores of Baltic Sea anymore as I captured his soul with my camera. On the other hand, we could throw more cold stones to our oceans to stop the global warming!

See another photo of Jaakko and the stone in my other entry.
