This isn't mine, so thanks to the original authors. I must admit there's a slight exaggeration: our cows don't talk.

This blog is very funny. I think my favorite was * -40°C / -40°F.

Well i saw this originally with the Finns, with the same -300 degrees thing, and that was a week or so before Lordi won the Eurovision Song Contest ;)

Staffan: It has been around the internet a few times. I saw this with Norwegians, before someone added the -300 degrees part. Perhaps someone Finnish did it? Lordi won before Rybak. You Finns are a very tough people, but I will never admit that it might fit you guys even better ;) ;)

I've only ever heard this one with Finns. This Norwegian version was new to me. (though the -300 makes no sense since I think Norway has won the Eurovision song contest more than once, so that hell must freeze over all the time!)

Hell freezes over every winter. I drive through that place every time I'm going to the airport, it's not that bad a place really. Hell, Norway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Norway

I think the original might be a russian joke about finns. Not sure though. First saw this before The Great Shame of Finland aka Lordi. Norway has one more than once the eurovision me thinks :)
