« ITA Weekend Web Digest -- 1 May 2005 | Main | BJU Seeks Accreditation » May 01, 2005Eww. Just...Ewww.Please take a moment to glance at these pictures of the members of the EU's European Commission. Why? Because, as the Telegraph reported in January (and separately reported in the Scotsman earlier) on the installation of a sauna in the headquarters of the Commission. Brussels being Brussels, a 10-point directive on the proper use of the sauna was sent to the assorted Eurocrats, the Telegraph wrote: "Nudity is de rigueur, according to the commission's infrastructure office, but bravado is not. 'Reckless competition about who stands heat best is out of the question. Leave your clothes in the dressing room - nakedness is natural,' the code tells its 18 male and seven female commissioners." The facility is mixed, but limited to commissioners, heads of cabinet and VVIPs. Posted by Paul Musgrave at May 1, 2005 07:57 PM CommentsAll "eewww" aside, I do so miss the days of sauna in Finland. It's just not the same here in the States where, for example, my gym expects you to wear shorts and doesn't want you to throw water on the rocks - what's the point?

Your distinctiveness will be added to our own. Posted by: Alan K. Henderson at May 2, 2005 02:07 AM | permalink Concerning Joe Borg, I think Alan K. Henderson meant to type, "Prepare to be naked - resistance is futile."
