    Is there any compelling reason to care what some band called Muna wants? And what do they have against Finns? If only Finns are barred from revealing the meaning of the band's name, surely we could ask some Finnish-speaking non-Finn, right? I mean, if we were interested, which we aren't? Just sayin', though.

    You know what? Fuck Muna. They've pissed me off over the past ninety seconds or so.

    Google tells us that it means either cock or balls depending on whether its singular or plural... that took less than 5 seconds to find out (literally it means either Egg or Nut)

    Not potent enough! I'm going to have to steep some more fresh ginger into it. Argh.

    A high school class ring lost in Maine in 1973 has been found buried beneath a forest floor in Finland.

    [Might be a good story prompt.]

    It's a joke about woman saying do what you want when they actually have specific yeses and no's.

    I got that. My "Why?" question was a kind of joking attempt to get @flawed personality to explain the joke. What I totally didn't get is @jannert's response.

    With a face like she's got in that photo (Angelina) would you ask 'why?' Seriously, no. Just run. While you still can. :)

    The original statement (if she says "do what you want" it means "do nothing") confused me. Then your response to my "why?" confused me. This post confuses me further. She says "do what you want" and it means "do nothing", but you're saying "run while I still can?" Does every woman have Angelina Jolie powers she can use to ruin my life? Why would she do such a thing? If she wanted to ruin my life, why would she tell me to do what I want? And why would men find Angelina Jolie attractive if they're afraid she will ruin their lives? Why do men find her attractive, anyway? I certainly don't. Neither does (to pick a name at random) Brad Pitt.

    Clearly I haven't had coffee yet today. o_O :confused: :p

    Because when a woman with that kind of face on her says, 'Do what (ever) you want,' there is the unspoken addition to her statement "...and you'll be very sorry you were born."

    It's permission, like Dirty Harry's, "Go ahead, make my day."

    As to your other question ..some men found Margaret Thatcher attractive. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

    Enjoy your coffee! :)

    This is what a hairless trash panda can look like. ( I say "can look like" because I've seen other images of hairless trash pandas and they do not all have the same skin coloration under their trash panda fur. Most are either all dark or all light.)

    Studies indicate if you’re not sleeping, it’s probably because you’re awake.

    Finnish culture vs. corona virus.

    - Long social distances.
    - Not too intense social life.
    - 16.3 peoples / km^2 average.
    - We all have saunas. This virus does not survive sauna temperature. Sauna twice a week helps against pneumonia. If someone must be in home quarantine we can put him/her to sauna, and keep the temperature what's best for patient.
    - We can disinfect things in sauna - a lot.
    - Finland is a big manufacturer of toilet paper, paper towels, tissues...
    - We don't panic easily - except our current government. (We have all our loonies in government so that we can keep an eye on them.)
    - We are used to home life.
    - We like to walk (alone or with dog).
    - Finnish cuisine is very much like it was planned to survive disasters.
    - Finland is not a center of tourism.

    When you know that the incisors of a hyrax are continuously growing tusks, it becomes a little easier to see how they're related to elephants who have the same, and are unique in these animals. Both creatures are afrotheres. Other creatures with tusk-like teeth use the canines, not incisors.
