I am a Finnish man in my early forties. I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Helsinki, only because I was too lazy to ever begin my Master's Thesis. I also have a full-time job as a computer programmer.

As well as Finnish culture, I like Star Trek and Transformers, which should be obvious from the contributions I've made.

There might be more to come later.

Hotel room numbers

Numbers of hotel rooms I've been in:

Random observations

ISO 5775

Now this is something new - I almost put a copyvio tag on an article that was created by its original copyright holder. Pretty embarrassing, isn't it?

My old schoolmate

I just found an article about one of my former schoolmates. All this time I had no idea he had become so famous.

Heard in a public sauna from a woman

"When talking to a man, it's good to say the word "naked" every once in a while."

For over a year and eight months, it seemed that a Wikipedia article claimed a man was both alive and dead.[1] [2]
