Trivia-wise, the highlight of our vacation might have been seeing earthen redoubts built by this guy, long before he was famous. Who knew?

On an entirely unrelated note, I have long wondered why the movie Die Hard contains an elaborate and accurate description of Stockholm syndrome–only to call it “Helsinki syndrome.” Geographic error? Puckish post-modern wink? Does some enterprising Swede have a copyright on “Stockholm syndrome”?

I was reminded of this the other day while reading an article about a respected Seattle performance-art group that now calls themselves Helsinki Syndrome. Yippee-ki-yay, fluxus mounters.
