It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’.
‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

In the 1920s, dentist Samuel Aykroyd regularly hosted séances. Samuel’s son, Maurice, was a Bell Telephone engineer who tried to contact the dead via radio. Maurice’s son, Peter, wrote the book 'A History of Ghosts'. Peter's son is Dan Aykroyd, writer and star of Ghostbusters.

A reminder that 68K people die annually due to lack of care & 500K suffer medical bankruptcy—& every one of them fears for their well being every second of every single day.
