"Semiotics"?
Hi,

why is there a section on "semiotics", and why is it sourced to a "top ten"-list with no mention of semiotics?

Finns and wind
Finnish wizards were known to make wind and they sold ropes with knots: open one, mild wind; open second, strong wind; open third, a stormwind. If the finns didn't like the customer they didn't tell witch way to count. In early 1800's sailors believe that Finns can control the winds.
