As regards Moominmama, that happens to be the name given by the Swedish 
media to our current president Tarja Halonen... and if I ramble further 
on this, some of you may have noticed that Tarja has been mentioned in 
Conan O'Brien Show quite often lately, because of their similar looks 
(!?) or whatever. Conan has announced that he is coming to visit Finland 
in February...

No, I do not know Snappertuna. BTW, that must sound amusing to an 
English-speaking person: Snapper Tuna.
