"Semiotics"?[edit]

Hi,
why is there a section on "semiotics", and why is it sourced to a "top ten"-list with no mention of semiotics?

Finns and wind[edit]

Finnish wizards were known to make wind and they sold ropes with knots: open one, mild wind; open second, strong wind; open third, a stormwind. If the finns didn't like the customer they didn't tell witch way to count.

In early 1800's sailors believe that Finns can control the winds. Source:Two Years Before the Mast Chapter VI, Richard Henry Dana Jr., 1840 (Project Gutenberg (search for text "Fins are wizards")

Another source: Sixpence for the Wind: A Knot of Nautical Folklore: Even as late as 19th century Finns, also known as Russian Finns were believed to be able to control wind. Google books RicHard-59 (talk) 14:30, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
