And Just What Ther Heck Does This Tell Us About Middle Aged Finns?

From UrbanLegends.com:

The story goes as follows: two boys go riding a motorcycle or skiing downhill without a hat of any kind. The weather is extremely cold, and after some frolicking, the boys start to suffer from a headache. The aching gets worse and worse, until they are forced to visit a doctor. The doctor tells them their
brains have been frozen solid, and they have exactly twenty minutes left to live. They die agonizing deaths.


Middle-aged Finns are eager to spread this story whenever possible.


And yet most of them seem like such nice people.
