Darwin loves...

...saunas:

The annual World Sauna Championships in Finland have ended in tragedy with the death of one of the finalists.


No, there's not an "Onion" stamp on it. It's the BBC, (arguably even less credible, but this happens to be real.)

Russian Vladimir Ladyzhensky and his Finnish rival, Timo Kaukonen, collapsed after suffering severe burns. Mr Ladyzhensky later died in hospital.

The event requires participants to withstand 110C (230F) for as long as possible. The men managed six minutes before judges noticed something amiss.


There was definitely something amiss: their brains.

Besides, I'm not impressed; I live in a sauna five months out of the year. It's called Houston.
