The theme tune for I Am Weasel
Lyrics for the theme tune of I Am Weasel show:
You don't need pants for the Victory Dance,
'cause Baboon's better than Weasel,
I.R. Baboon's big star of cartoon
I AM WEASEL!I.R. Baboon reigns king in his mind,
he's just as good as the weasely kind,
but 'round every corner he's likely to find,
I AM WEASEL!
I AM WEASEL!
I AM WEASEL!!

Lyrics for the original "Pop goes the Weasel"
'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel.A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.A half a pound of tupenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! Goes the weasel.Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.I've no time to plead and pine,
I've no time to wheedle,
Kiss me quick and then I'm gone
Pop! Goes the weasel.
How Lords of Acid go about it
Half a spoon of heroin,
Half a spoon of treacle.
That's the way the money goes,
Out comes the evil.
Rant
Graphic designers, who design web page lay-outs and don't understand the difference and between font-size: 11pt and font-size: 11px should be shot on sight!

Stuff It'd Be Cool to Own
It would be cool to own
- a B-52 bomber 2,
- a particle accelerator, and
- a tank
I really don't know what I would do with them, but it would be kinda cool... in a way. You can't do anything else with the B-52 bomber except bomb stuff, but I like the fact that it's big. And a tank - it would be so easy to parallel park a tank. And I suppose it's the size again with the particle accelerator. Useless stuff that's big, yes, that's it.

Vegetarian restaurant in Helsinki
The best vegetarian friendly restaurant in Helsinki is definately New Bamboo Center on Annankatu 29. Love it!
Fun with knifes
What can I say, I like knifes. Pretty pretty pretty... well, not all, but there are some models, or types, of knifes that are just so beautiful--and naturally, if it's pretty, I want it. I suppose it's just fortunate that I don't always get what I want.
Kukri
I'd really like a Kukri with a cho (or kaudi or kaura), it just makes it look that much better, but the modern models seem not to have it. How unfortunate.
