wasn't this Öpik a scientist, astronomer? as you told about his weird ideas something came to my mind... i can ask from my boss about him on monday. he (my boss) is a very cool person - very good translator, got a prize for translating "A Clockwork Orange" by the way... but there's a funny thing about him - he's a Eurovision-fan
and he had told that he met an Englishman who worked for this Öpik (or at least for one British MP who was ethnically Estonian) in Eurovision forum.
well, i meant that maybe this Öpik really knows anything more than we about comets (thank god, we don't know things like that
).
but on the other hand - i didn't want to say there are no loonies among Estonians - let me introduce you: mr. pikkrong
and about the name Tamm - i asked from my boss (as i told he knows more than me about languages) he was 99 % sure, it's Estonian name.
and talking about famous Estonian women - fashion-model Carmen Kass is 100, 00 % Estonian - her parents and sister live still here.
but... to be true, i'd like to introduce Estonians not by loonies and fashion models but by Arvo Pärt
