Helsinki Incident

The Helsinki Incident was recently cited in the 2004 film "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. During the final match sportcaster Cotton McKnight (Gary Cole) announces "Let me tell you, a double-fault final-play elimination hasn't occurred since the Helsinki episode of 1919, and I think we all remember how THAT turned out!" The 'incident' refers to a Finnish milk maiden named Oona Maarit Lohtander held captive as a rebel after the Finnish Civil War in 1918. While a prisoner on the fortress island of Suomenlinna in Helsinki she learned that her fiance Jarno Enestam was summarily executed by one of the guards of the camp. Vowing to avenge her lover's death, she arranged for her brother, also captive, to strangle the guard that night after she lured him into her bunkhouse for sex. It was absolutely pitch black in the compound and the bunkhouse, and after entering he approached the bunk where he thought his sister was 'engaging' the prison guard. He efficiently dispatched who he thought was the guard and retreated back to his bunkhouse. It turned out that he visited the wrong bunkhouse and strangled a young pregnant woman who was trying to quietly give birth, thus the reference to "a double-fault final-play elimination". Both Oona and her brother were subsequently executed for their role in the murder.

Helsinki syndrome

Being bit of an idiot and getting your syndromes mixed up.

I finally understand what they mean by that, is it Helsinki syndrome, when people are being kidnapped, when they're released, miss their kidnappers.

Team Van Helsing

The answer someone who hates the Twilight series gives when asked if they are Team Edward or Team Jacob, because Van Helsing kills both werewolves and vampires.

Twilighter: "Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?"

Not Twilighter: "Neither. I'm Team Van Helsing!"

Helseth

Helseth is a being of unknown decent with the purpose to bring the people of Earth both joy and pain. Going around the globe teaching the youth the most important skills imaginable. Although most find his presence to inflict pain upon the world, only the most knowledgeable see Helseth as God himself. Nobody truly understands who or what Helseth is, but what we do know is it is something not to be messed with, yet something we can all learn from.

It is time to pray for Helseth to come.
