Mike sent the following to me:
News of the Weird first noted Professor Jukka Ammondt of the
University of Jyvaskyla in Finland in 1995, and apparently his twin
passions (Elvis Presley and Latin) have only grown stronger since
then. He performs Elvis' songs in the "dead" language that's far from
dead in Finland -- a country that features a regular radio newscast
entirely in Latin (drawing about 75,000 listeners), according to an
October BBC dispatch from Helsinki. Among the Ammondt-Presley
standards: "It's Now or Never" ("Nunc hic aut numquam") and "Love Me
Tender" ("Tenere me, suaviter"). [BBC News, 10-24-06]
How's that weird?
