Good news - I was hoping but didn't expect them to win.

I wish I'd put some money on them.

it was soooo cool.
i live in ireland (who have won it 7 times)
and the big beef is that, now it is sms/phone votes, that all the eastern europeans vote for each other and ireland cant win.

I took one look at Finland and thought "I HOPE THEY WIN" ( i like megadeth myself)



AND THEY WON!!!


still gives me a chuckle.🙂

Oh the irony

i dont understand. why is it Ironic?


Eddie van halen used to play in a cover band, iis it "ironic" that he turned out to be one of the best guitarists of his era?


Good Luck to them, they won because they were different, and every country voted for them. The Eastern europeans vote on block for each other so it was as good as a protest vote.

I hate the eurovision, but last night was sooo funny. GO FINLAND


😀😉

If we are lucky next year every country will take a leaf out of Finland's book. An all metal euro-vision, think of it, it would be worth watching.

He he yea I think I got it sorted out now. Internet is great. America doesn't have the competition yet. I just read that it could be coming soon though. Sounds fun. Anyway I see now "Lordi" is the band and they won with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah". Is that correct? I'm trying to see if I can find it. To see if it sounds as good as all that. Thanks for clearing that up for me.😵 Took a lot of guessing. Oh and Yes Abba is good.

Finland was a great, small, warm country in the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, due to plate tectonics it ended where it is today. The name "Fin-Land" was given by western explorers, who lost many sailors to sharks during the Crusades. The folk of the isle of Finland are very warm-hearted, open-minded, talkative, and love their northern neighbours in the autonomous Grand Duchy of Sweden.

Because of the longing to the favourable climate of the Caribbean Sea, the Finns stole the concept of sauna from Canadians. This is why the Finns are sometimes called "Fauna of Sauna" by Lithuanians.

History

Finland is a very old land. It's born at year 900, when King Matti Viinanjuoja (Matti Boozedrinker) found the land. He founded a castle on a big hill and there he can control all the land. In 1000s, Finns traveled to west, to Sweden. There he conquered all their land and arrested Swedes for the slaves job. At 1300s, all Sweden was with Finland.

Later peace with Denmark and Norway started to break and Finland musted to attack other lands and they enclosed to Finland. After this, Finland was greatest land in Europe after Russia and Nazi Germany. At year 1492 born war between Finland and Russia. Finland won the war and grew its area.

When World War I happen, Finland join the war, but suffered about defeat and Finnish Empire broke at 1918. New independent countries born 15 (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland, Eastern Canada, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Prussia.

When Finnish Empire destroyed, Finland live normal life, untill World War II happen. Finland join to Axis Powers with Germany, Japan, Hungary, Bortopia, Switzerland, Romania and Bulgaria. The land take that perfect and attacked to USSR. USSR surrendered one month later. Axis powers win the war and Finland rise again to the supercountry.

Current president Conan O'Brien rise to power, because he look like Tarja Halonen.

Tarja Halonen favours Pac-Man

General

The dawn of Finland is not really known. It is widely percieved that Finland stayed uninhabitated far longer than neighbouring countries. Another view on the matter is that the Finland was inhabited after all, but other people just weren't informed on this matter. Poor communication has also been attributed to the fact that everyone else calls the country Finland, except for Finns themselves, who call it Suomi. After consulting the Greek goddess Deloitte, the Finns founded rubber boots factory Nokia to better connect people in 1995.

Periodically harassed by ice ages, the people have been living in a close relationship with the surrounding nature. Lakes have provided the fish. Sky has provided the birds. Rivers have provided the water. Sweden has provided the government (later replaced with democracy). Germany the army. Russia the vodka, and sometimes some army. Estonia the beautiful girls. Living in this richness has made Finns proud of their past, even if nobody really remembers a thing of it.

End of the Ice Age

WARNING: May contain spoilers to the movie of same name

According to popular belief, Finland was inhabited after the glacier covering the country during the Ice Age melted away in about 10 000 B.C. This is wrong, since evidence has proven that Finland had already been inhabited before the Ice Age. The inhabitants of Finland were frozen inside the glacier approximately a million years ago, but were accidentally melted by death rays in episode 113 of Superman. Another equally wildy improbable belief is that it was a well-known hideaway spot for vacationing gay and homophobic sumo wrestlers. Ideal, becuse the vodka, is superb, the whale-oil is to die for, they sell the baddest frying pans in the whole fucking world and the rice cakes are the shiznit, muthafuckas!

Anyways,the Ice Age has not yet above Arctic Circle. The average temperature there is still 25 Kelvins.

Prehistoric Timeline

* 4500 B.C.: First signs of organized cities in Mesopotamia and the Indus valley; ice starts to melt in Finland; it's still too damn cold to live in!
* 2700 B.C.: The Great Pyramid completed in Giza, Egypt; Finns discover berry-eating, live in caves.
* 5th century B.C.: The Golden Age of Athens; the Parthenon completed; Finns discover fire; 60 % of the population burned to death as a result. The remaining two Finns decide to repopulate the country. Unfortunately they were both males. They canoed to Sweden and conquered it. They found Sweden to be sexually more tolerant.
* A.D. 70: The Colosseum completed in Rome, home to some million people; Finns invent talking, although it is soon abandoned as useless and a complete waste of time.
* A.D. 491: Finland's patron saint St. Urho chased the grasshoppers from Finland, thus saving the grape crop, and allowing the berry-eating to continue. Annually on March 16, honoring this historic event, Finnish celebrants wear purple, drink purple beer and purple wine.
* A.D. 800: Charlemagne crowned Holy Roman Emperor in Rome; Finns invent the wheel, spending the next two centuries trying to figure out what it's good for.
* A.D. 1100: First universities in Europe, Crusades, Gothic Architecture; Crusaders arrive to Finland, national hero Lalli slays those damn foreigners, Finnish continue to eat berries.
* A.D 1456.743: Finnish scientists discover intelligence
* A.D. 1500: Columbus finds America, Magellan sails around the World; Finnish figure out the writing stuff, invent letters Ä and Ö. Also Urho Kekkonen born at this time.
* A.D. 2600: Finland started the 1011th world war


The Middle Ages

Nothing worth telling happened except some occasional turkeykillings. Finland was made part of the United Nations of Japanese Samurais for a while. The [Japanese] built a few Dojos in Finland, but they where all lost during the War of the Sticks and Stones. At some point, a Finman (very near relatives with merman) killed a pope with an cucumber, but this issue has been largely hushed up. Many Finns (also known as Finmen, [Texas] Rangers or Irresponsible Captain Tylor) still consider the act a major reason for worldwide mourning. People of Finland still think that the funniest joke of all time is: "Was the foreign legion of France ever located in Finland? --Yes, with a shovel". Today, the foremost limnologists are of the opinion that 'Shovel', as in means of hiding ones treasure, is the old form of 'show of', and that would mean many people have been wrong.

After the French foreign legion hid many easter eggs in the soil of Finland, the Russians came with their vodka. There was much rejoicing, and now everytime a Vodka bottle is opend anywhere in the world you may actually hear the sounds of Finmen and Rushmen drinking vodka. Nothing else worth telling happened after that.

Independence

Finland declared her independence on July 4, 1917. Soon after the declaration, a civil war broke out between graphic artists arguing about the appropriate design and colour for the flag of the new country. After that Finland fought a fierce war against winter.

Future

It has been expressed by many of the world's leading geologists that Finland will switch places with China over the next 54 years.

One of the most covered-up projects of the Finnish government has been the conquest of the moon. According to the current schedule, the launch is due on January 6, 2007. The project has just reached its fifth stage: calculations on how much koskenkorva is required during the trip to the moon have been completed. The next problem that stands in the way of this brave endeavour is that there is no booster rocket big enough available that could carry even half of the required vodka outside the earth's atmosphere.

Bibilical Origins of Finland

"14: And when the Lord God came to cast out the Finn, the Finn did indeed swear blind to Him that he had not touched the apples of knowledge, not at all, honestly, although he had eaten a pear or two although verily his mind was a little hazy.

15: And the Lord God said, Was it an apple that you ate or a pear. And the Finn replied that it was totally a pear.

16: And the Lord God said unto the Finn, you may keep Paradise as thy land, and call it Finland, but watch thy back. And the Finn said, Okay, but will not Adam be Jealous of Finland. And God said unto the Finn,

17: Yea, that is like two Good Points stapled together.

18: And in His Infinite Wisdom God did make Finland Wicked Cold, that Adam would not venture inside, and He did give pretty women's names to the Finnish men, that Adam would be confused, so that all the Finns...
