The world needs ditch-diggers, too.
About Me
- Angry Professor
- I am a tenured faculty member at a large state university. My teaching efforts primarily consist of delivering statistics lectures to social science majors. These experiences have colored my perspective somewhat.

Can you believe that fucken shit? A fucken contest to see who can stand being fucken cooked longest? This has brought me a new appreciation for the depths of human stupidity.
My thoughts exactly, but I did learn that the only difference between a hot sauna and a cool oven is what you put inside.
You have to wonder what the point of such a competition was. How bizarre.
This competition actually improves the outlook for humanity. The out come has you die or the heat sterilizes you. The winner can't reproduce and the looser dies.
But…but…"all the rules were followed." It says so right in the article!
More seriously (barely): am I to guess that the old adage about the frog in the saucepan of water is unknown in southern Finland?
This just in: Finalist suffers concussion at World Bashing-Each-Other-Over-The-Head-With-Blunt-Objects Championships
Today in the sauna, a woman explained that due to a brain injury she had "no temperature" ... she does not feel the heat, only the cleansing and the relaxation of organs.
Her utility bills are very low since she does not need a/c or heat.
By a curious coincidence, I saw the following book in the library, which features "Competitive Sauna" as the #1 dumbest sport (and Rick Reilly's experience participating!)

And then there's the lady who decided to attend the World Bagpiping Championships (held every August in Glasgow) and found that it was far too loud and there were too many people playing bagpipes. Imagine.
