the only good thing to have ever come out of Finland was Ievan Polkka.
Someone doesn't know Linux, Max Payne and Nokia.
Also, I've studied Finnish for some time (stopped because the course was shitty and I couldn't find enough good Finnish media for free on the net to make self-study feasible), and I have a good understanding of Japanese. Despite some superficial similarities, I'd say that knowing one doesn't help you at all learning the other one.
