1. The name of our national anthem is "Pump Up the Porridge". It was composed by Sir Finnotronic.
2. Our most popular radio programs include:
Rattoilta (Ratto Night). Experts answer questions about old porn magazines.
Rattoillanjatke (Ratto Night Extension). In this pioneering program from the 1980s a number of judges describe and rank photos of penises sent by listeners.
3. Before 1981 it was illegal to squeal like a pig. The law was repealed in honour of the Archbishop of Hamina who is known for his swinery.
4. One of the most popular Finnish bands is a Bon Jovi tribute act called Bog Jovi. They sing exclusively about toiletries and their biggest crowd pleaser is "You Give Wet Wipes a Bad Name".
5. Contrary to popular belief, the name Urho does not mean "hero". It is an abbreviation of the phrase "urea hohtaa" (the urine glows) which refers to the glowing urine of medieval alcoholics.
