100mph Slot Cars
Think slot cars are just toys? Okay, well maybe you’re right, but enthusiasts in Finland take it pretty seriously, racing modified cars on giant tracks at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.

Squirrels Eating Finnish Museum
Apparently, squirrels are quite the troublemakers.
A popular open-air museum in Helsinki showing the traditional Finnish way of life on Monday begged the public to stop feeding local squirrels, saying they were eating away at the displays.
How can anyone get mad at a squirrel?
“The squirrels have learned to hide food between wooden shingles on the roof. We saw a squirrel pulling at a shingle with its two paws until it broke,” Seurasaari museum building conservator Risto Holopainen told AFP.
“Squirrels run into the buildings through open doors, they nibble on the museum textiles and make holes in the walls,” he said.
These squirrels have figured out the perfect entrance/escape routes.
