Why are finnish vikings so awesome?
Finland, like most countries of pre-medieval times, consisted of various tribes, only one of which were the Finns. During the Viking era, there was no such thing as Finland the country. Thus, the tribes of Scandanavia in general roamed freely between the different provinces by land and by sea. Thus, the Swedish Vikings and the Finnish Vikings were often descended from the same tribe. Finland had Vikings and they were just as awesome as any other place like Sweden and Norway.
There is no such thing as Finnish Vikings (if you are referring to the Viking warriors). The Vikings who did go to Finland were Swedish Vikings.
Perhaps some Finlanders would "like" to claim some Viking relation, and they knew of Vikings...but the Finnish were NOT Vikings, more often they were the subject of Viking raiders.

The religious activities included celebrations for the major holidays that fell around the solar equinoxes and solstices, and harvest festivals in between. This included animal sacrifice, and festivals. A more in depth article can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_paganism
What do women think about crossdressing?
to each their own. I guess it depends on how far a person takes it.
Allow me to speak from experience of a cross-dresser. I can't of course speak for women themselves. As suggested above, the reactions can vary. One woman I know was extremely put off by it, though not to the point of actually cutting off contact with me. By talking it through, I came to understand why she disliked it, and she didn't judge me because of it. Another woman, with whom I was in a long-term relationship, went to the other extreme. She enjoyed it on a regular basis, taking part in the whole process and going out in public with me. She claimed to find it a "bit of fun" and (let's be delicate here) seemed to get a little excited by it. Note of course that we did discuss it openly. When she had concerns, she was free to let me know. And vice versa. She was concerned at first she would be losing her boyfriend, but with a bit of time she saw that this really was not the case at all. Not all women I've been with have been so involved, but most have been understanding to one degree or another, or at least willing to discuss it. Note that I am not a full time cross-dresser by any means - it is simply something I sometimes do for fun more than any other reason. However honesty and trust seems to be the most important consideration.
What is Viking Player Benchwarmer Bob Lertzima famous for?
Bob Lertzima was a star defensive end for the New York Giants that came to the Minnesota Vikings along with Fran Tarkington in the late 1960's. Fran's only sin as a Giant was finishing 18 inches short of the NFL title that year in the final game of that season. The NY owner was so crestfallen he traded Fran back to the Vikings and totally changed his defensive line in trades to Minnesota and Los Angeles, as he greatly changed his teams members. Bob arrived at Minnesota in the unenviable position as a defensive end playing in the shadow of Carl Eller. also known as a member of, "The Purple People Eater's". For a full seven years Bob Letsima sat on the bench. Being a creative person he wrote an article that the St. Paul Dispatch published called the "Lertsima Report". Which became ultimately became, "Bob Lertsima's VIKING Report", also known as "The VIKING Report". His subscriptions increased with the addition of, "Bob Lertsima's PACKER Report" for this with cheese heads. In a playoff game against the Los angeles RAM's, Carl Eller asked to set out a series of Lawrence McCutchin's runs. Lersima FINALLY got a few plays! Bob StUFFED a speedy running back for 2 consecutive downs and and impressive yardage losses (McCutchin). On 3rd down Bob sacked the Rhodes scholar QB for the RAM's for a horrendous loss and the eventual Viking win. Carl Eller never again missed playing a down in his VIKING career. "Benchwarmer Bob" became the hero of the Twin Cities as newspapers, car dealerships, restaurants and all manner of promotions. Bob's winning countenance were shared with his smile and endearing moniker as, "Benchwarmer Bob" could sell ice to eskimo's after that game. "Benchwarmer Bob" became a pro football legend, thereafter.
