Ok that answered my last question. Just making sure your national animal wasn't committing suicide. That scared me for a second.

Sarcasm: At least I didn't offend any Swedes Finns with this thread. /Sarcasm

Edit: Put in Swedes then realized that was a complete mistake. Wrapped with sarcasm and strike-through to fix.

"Well, guys, the boss just sent word. It turns out that Finland may not want us to invade them."

"What? That's ridiculous! Have you seen the picture they sent us?"

"It turns out that we were totally wrong about the meaning of that, bort-bort."

"Bort! Howso?"

"Its pretty embarrassing, bort. It turns out that the gibberish writing used for the motto was actually Finnish."

"Wow. Yeah, that really fooled me."

"Don't feel too bad--it fooled all of us."

"Also, instead of being a plea for us to come and help them run their country like we thought it was, it actually warns off invaders. Yes, its basically not a lion that tripped over a scimitar while putting on its lion-armor accidentally skewering its own head."

"My god, bort."

"Yes. What's worse, is that its really just meant against us, the Swedish."

"Bort, bort!"

"Bort!"

"Calm down, everyborty."

"So are we going to leave?"

"I am not sure. I think we sort of owe it to them at this point--invasion, I mean."

"Yeah, those poor silly Fins."

"Yeah, that whole enarmes of theirs is an a-bort-ion."

"Ah, Kenny. Not funny."

Oi wouldn't hafta expline that the "robotic" arm is in fact an armored arm, now would Oi?

Finns love Ice Hockey because they managed to get good at it before they did at Association Football. That would be because of the climate circumstances which I won't delve deeper into. The fact is, the Finns have always played Hockey in their winter scenery, on frozen lakes and everything. Afterwards, they jumped into their saunas and had a good time. That's why they got so good at Ice Hockey. Nature.

Imagine a national football team of Finns having been coached on frozen lakes for all of their lives playing against Spain on grass.
[Americans, go consult wikipedia for association football for getting the picture. Take your time.]

Facial expressions like in the coat d'arms. And hopefully they won't bring swords, else those would really really stick in their own right eyes.
