This house in my neighborhood has a balcony over their front door, which you can only access by climbing out the window I guess.

For sale: Temple of Lemminkäinen

A local plot of land in Sipoo with a colourful past has been put on the market, according to Helsingin Sanomat.

The so-called Temple of Lemminkäinen sits on the plot, about 30 kilometres away from central Helsinki in the municipality of Sipoo.

The location of the alleged “Temple of Lemminkäinen” in the municipality of Sipoo.

HS wrote that the land’s sale was initially reported by local outlet Sipoon Sanomat(siirry.

The late mythologist Ior Bock was convinced that underneath a towering rock structure called Kyypelivuori, lay the entrance to a temple devoted to the Finnish mythological figure Lemminkäinen. The legend, according to Bock, says that the entrance to the temple was closed in the year 987 to protect a trove of hidden treasures.

Despite numerous attempts over the years, no temple or treasure chamber has ever been found on the site.

Even though there is a lack of evidence pointing to a medieval treasure cache, interest in the land is still quite high. According to real estate agent Timo Kanerva, the plot has attracted a “huge number” of inquiries— with many coming from outside Finland.

The current owners of the land are the Helsinki-located yoga school, Astangajoogakoulu.

The co-owners insisted they’d cooked the pork shoulder plenty, barbecuing it “low and slow” in a smoker for 12 hours at about 250 degrees. The woman disagreed and, when she couldn’t convince the co-owners to cook it some more or give her a refund, sought redress elsewhere.

By calling 911.

I had a place with a balcony like that in Toronto. You could, in fact, only reach it by climbing through the window. I loved it.

Perhaps they should call it a “Juliet” balcony.
I can see it.

This is a Juliet balcony:

You can walk/lean out, but nothing else: no sitting, etc.

Oh, yes, that’s much more like it.

At risk of controversy then, perhaps a Karen Balcony?

Oddly enough, the same place also had a Juliet balcony.

Asking him to eat the bones is a bit much. Even the rules for The Old '96er included eating the gristle and fat but did IIRC exempt the bone.

Over compensating much?

It’s not so much about length. I’ll refrain from the adolescent phrase.
