Presenting the Mad Scientist Laughing Contest, from Helsinki, Finland, proud home to one of the highest rates of Seasonal Affective Disorder in the world. Here, we can see the tragic consequences.

  1. Aw–linkie love–I take back almost two-thirds of the things I said about you.

    As far as the video’s concerned, what could you expect? I mean, they’re geographically right next to Sweden, which produced ABBA–and those zombies, Lordi, who won Eurovision 2006.

    If you run insane laughter through an algorythm analyser, you’ll find that it produces the same patterns.

  2. Lordi is actually pretty damn good, which is surprising given their ridiculous gimmick.

    The Finns are a very strange people. It’s the merriest-sounding language in the world, like if pixies had a language it would sound like that, but they have the highest suicide rate and their alcoholism is legendary, even among the Danes, who have beer for breakfast.

  3. Bring it, byches!!! I’ll sic John Richardson on you and then you’ll be sorry, because not only will you lose but you’ll be converted to Buddhism in the process and then you’ll have to meditate daily on why you aren’t a cat person.

  4. Unfortunately, I’m not on cough syrup; that’s at least hallucinogenic. I’m in withdrawl from Dayquil because I took one yesterday and was too stoned to do any writing for the rest of the damn day!
