Funny Finland

So, first let's get the humorous photos out of the way, eh? None of these were cropped, so some are sloppy photos, but enjoy nonetheless:

First, graffiti on the wall of a highway pedestrian/bike underpass. Awesome.

It was even funnier because one of the attendees was Dr. Hamr...so I referred to him as the hammer of crayfish justice during the conference. He's one of my crayfish heroes, he signed my Ontario crayfish ID booklet, heh heh heh! Anyway, next up we have a krazy kar spotted on a city street. It looks like a hearse. You might want to enlarge it to get the full effect. The Finns seemed to like cruising the streets in the evening, we'd see the same cars pass by maybe 3 or 4 times in an hour or so.


Here we have the Toilets Torpedo, which was directing the way in the massive bar/restaurant/partyhouse where we had our crayfish party. At first I thought it just said 'toilets', as that is all you see from across the room. When you get closer you see that it actually says torpedo too. Veeeerrrry odd.

Next up is a creep-tastic image from the crayfish party. That is an Astacus astacus (native species) carapace shoved up in a Pacifastacus leniusculus (introduced species) carapace.


Ah, what culinary bargains await at the local grocery store, the KKKmart?


These blue pedestrian signs were pretty common, so it took awhile before we noticed that this one had an extra figure added:

Yes, human-alien hybrid children may also use this crossing.

Well, that's it for the funny fotos, I'll put up another post later with more details on the trip itself!
