How Americans Celebrate Halloween

Yötön yö ja juhannus! Tässä jaksossa puhun juhannuksesta ja mitä perinteistä ja uutta tekemistä  on kaupungissa. Perinteisesti juhannus on täynnä niin vanhoja kuin uusiakin juhannusperinteitä., sillä juhannusta voi viettää vaikka tanssien tai uiden maauimalassa! 
Juhannus on valon ja keskikesän juhla, johon kuuluu myös taiat, juhannussauna ja kokko. Hyvää juhannusta!!

Suomea for you

25. jakso: Juhannusperinteet Suomessa

It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness
