Walpurgis Night!

The very Wordcandy-worthy holiday "Walpurgis" is coming up this week (the night of April 30th). Walpurgis Night celebrations in Finland are marked by the publication of two humor magazines: Apy and Julkku. (Both of these magazines are apparently totally tasteless.) Julkku is released as a standard magazine, while Apy is famous for its gimmick format--it's been printed on toilet paper and bedsheets, stuffed into milk cartons and sardine cans, and shaped like a cell phone.

Below--another fine Walpurgis tradition: biiiiiig fires!
