Important news, I think:

IN BRIEF / AND FINALLY ...
It's Sweat Victory for Sauna Champs
From Times Wire Reports

Braving 230-degree heat, a dozen men and women sweated in wooden cubicles as long as they could stand it, aiming to grab the Sauna World Championship title in southern Finland.

With a time of 13 minutes, Belorussian Natalia Trifanova won the Sauna Queen title under the watch of doctors and judges.

"I'm pink but happy," beamed Trifanova, 36, a music teacher from Minsk.

The men's winner, Timo Kaukonen, a Finn from nearby Lahti, lasted 16 minutes, 15 seconds.

Gasbags?? US congress or the CSPAN people??
Both? :-)

3 minutes? Is that all the attention span that is required of engineers in Finland?

Amazing. I had the impression it was a very technically advanced nation.
