I think this guy is not necessarily fundie, just ethnocentric. To begin with, THE LION IS NOT THE SYMBOL OF ENGLAND, I mean, it´s the rose. And anyway, those animals have other significance in Daniel´s time and culture. Second, Russia IS NOT a prominent country as it used to be during the Cold War ANYMORE and the UN is absolutely irrelevant for Daniel. In fact, the bear is the symbol of the USSR, which is totally disolved.

Well, that depends which Sampo you mean, my bank (Sampo Bank) or the Sampo from Kalevala? :)
That later one would of course be a machine that creates gold, wheat and salt.
d0h... ;)
Ha! I'm just funning on that MST episode, of course. As a Literature Prof., I have actually assigned some of the Kalevala to my students, because it's so much better than that lame movie suggests, though I admit to loving the episode very, very much.
And now I'm fascinated: Does the name of the bank come from the Kalevala Sampo? Since it's like a "horn o' plenty" image (right?) it makes a kind of sense as a bank name.
Remember when this was about fundies? Yeah, me either. (Sorry for hijacking the thread.)

I dont know but I'am pretty sure that's where it comes from.
Yeah, Kalevala is an awesome book, I have read it maybe 3 or 4 times :) "The national epic of Finland" /o/
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
