The scabbard of the Anglo Saxon sword recently unearthed in Kent was lined with beaver fur, and Viking Age scabbards were often lined with wool. This would coat the sword’s high carbon steel blade with the natural oils and protect it against rust on the high seas.

Ridiculous video, but some of the tricks might actually have merit:

Everyone has heard of the "American Dream" — but Finns, too, have a dream: a lakeside sauna (or one by the sea or a river; or at the very least access to a sauna).

And with 3.2M saunas in a land with 5.6M people, I'd say we're living the dream.

Instead of trying to explain to foreigners the meaning and value of sauna, I give you the words of a befuddled Swede from 1776:

“They even connect the sauna with their theology and think the sauna building is some kind of shrine.”

Their experience in crossing rivers surpasses that of all other men, and they are extremely good at spending a lot of time in the water. Often enough when they are in their own country and are caught by surprise and in a tight spot, they dive to the bottom of a body of water. There they take long, hollow reeds they have prepared for such a situation and hold them in their mouths, the reeds extending to the surface of the water. Lying on their backs on the bottom they breathe through them and hold out for many hours without anyone suspecting where they are. An inexperienced person who notices the reeds from above would simply think they were growing there in the water.
