Only in Finland...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Sauna_Championships
"The World Sauna Championships were an annual endurance contest held in Heinola, Finland from 1999 to 2010. They originated from unofficial sauna-sitting competitions that resulted in a ban from a swimming hall in Heinola. The Championships were first held in 1999 and grew to feature contestants from over 20 countries. Sauna bathing at extreme conditions is a severe health risk: all competitors competed at their own risk, and had to sign a form agreeing not to take legal action against the organizers. Notably, the Finnish Sauna Society strongly opposed the event. After the death of one finalist and near-death of another during the 2010 championship, it remains unclear whether future championships will be organised."
Fin, has your country always been this weird? First we have the Puddi fanatic, now this? What else goes on in Finland? Also, why does your country have a sauna society?

Well isn't there a society for everything? I mean we're all a part of a zombie roleplaying society...
And wasn't this on the news (as in world wide news) just few months ago? And the Sauna Society is a bunch of pussies. Dry sauna, 110 celcius? The heat doesn't apply properly through dry air, so even an infant could endure it for a couple minutes.
Moist air, 80-90 celcius. <3

Yea, tell that to the guys that were cooked alive.
But, that is true. Dry saunas get much much hotter.
If you dig deep enough steve there is plenty of weird activities that are held in various different countries. And what isn't to say some of the holidays or games that America celebrates aren't weird?
