Finns sweep the championships!
Not The Olympics Edition:
The sauna world championships, that is (or here, with picture).
I don't understand though: the Daily Mail story seems to prove they wore swimsuits!;
and, for some reason the men and women's events were separate; further, where is the ice and snow?
This doesn't sound right, why would any Finn host a sauna championship in the heat of summer?
Someone please tell me they at least provided birch for flogging...

Remember the Fall Olympics in Vancouver? That was the year that skaters ... not the racing ones but the dancing ones ... were falling all the time as if they had some kind of special extra slippery ice on the skating rink. Well, this year, at Sochi II, we are witnessing the Fall Olympics mainly…
There were Muslims lurking about here at the Dublin conference, and I spent a few minutes talking to them and grabbing some of their literature. I can tell you this: don't bother. They were boring and utterly unoriginal — everything they said was the same old crap, patently cribbed from the…
Yes, the review you've all been waiting for. Before I start, let me point out that this has been discussed by WE at WUWT, who has pointed out the obvious problem. It has also been mentioned by KK, though that appears to be more of a meta-discussion about the paper's reception rather than the paper…
There's a lot heat that has been shed over the last week based on what struck me as a brief comment by Rebecca Watson about getting hit on in an elevator at 4am, as part of a much longer vlog:
Um, just a word to wise here, guys, uh, don't do that. You know, I don't really know how else to explain…
Don't worry, the Estonians still won the Wife Carrying this year.
What is this "heat of summer" of which you write? About the best that can be said of this summer is that at least the vodka wasn't frozen.
You can spoil anything by turning it to a competition. No real conoisseur heats the sauna above 80 C. Or wears clothes in there.
The ice and snow is in the freezer, condensing around the bottles of Koskenkorva. BTW, Kossu is now also kosher.

Exactly.
The World Sauna Championships should be held when there is at least some prospect of the vodka being frozen.
