Finnish is the language with perhaps the largest percentage of vowels
of any written language, so I don't understand what you are trying to
say. It's the completely unrelated Slavic languages that can have up
to 5-6 consonants in a row.


But yes, "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" is very funny and highly
recommended material for Star Trek and/or Babylon 5 fans. It's funny
and entertaining.

(One of the little tidbits of how well though-out the film is:
both Mr. Fukov (parody of Mr. Chekov from Star Trek) and Fester-Bester
(Bester from B5) are portrayed by the same guy, Janos Honkanen. As we
all know, ST's Chekov and B5's Bester are portrayed by the same guy,
Walter Koenig. Got a big chuckle when I realized why Janos had a
double role.

Kind regards,
- Henrik
