But it's funny.

Here's something funny too

Inventor Cookie invented a cookie, after he invented a cookie, inventor Cookie invented that cookie was invented.

In Finnish:

Keksijä Keksi keksi keksin, keksittyään keksin, keksijä Keksi keksi keksin keksityksi.

[Big Bene]

He is from Kastellaun? As a placename, it sounds perfectly normal in German - as a personal name, it would indeed be strange.

He is from Kastellaun?

Yes, that's what I meant.

[Big Bene]

Keksi = "Cookie" in finnish? That's strange, must be adopted from German. The German word for "cookie" is "Keks", and it's not adopted from Finnish, as I happen to know the etymology:

In the 1880ties, German producer Hermann Bahlsen named his brand of bicuits originally with the english word "cakes". Most Germans didn't speak english back then, and pronounced the word as written, which in German sounds like "Kar-ka", wich in turn is fatally resembling the word "Kacke" = "poo". So Bahlsen invented the word "Keks" which, when read in German, sounds like the corrcets English prnounciation of "cakes" (he did confuse singular an plural however).

in German sounds like "Kar-ka", which in turn is fatally resembling the word "Kacke" = "poo".

Kar-ka when spoken British, the 'r' simply elongating the 'a' before it, the second 'a' pronounced like the 'e' word final sound English speaking people tend to not be able to pronounce.
Schwa-sound it's called for whatever reason. [ˈkakə] for those familiar with the IPA.
I can confirm the Bahlsen story as it was one of these documentaries on TV that surprisingly turn out to be very interesting.
Geek, too.

Most of Finnish words are adopted from some other language, for example:
"poo"="kacke"="kakka" so yeah

[knightkrawler]

So, diarrhea must be "flittikakka" in Finnish. Big Bene will understand that joke. Had to make it.

[TMU]

It's ripuli, but some also call it märkä kakka, wet poo

This is a great topic

Funny story.
German music TV channel: VIVA
German comedian: Hape Kerkeling.

Kerkeling, who is really well known, and some other guys pretended to be a badass Finnish Gangsta HipHop band going by the name of... roll drum... R.I.P.Uli.
He was the bandboss, Petri Danger Valkinnen, and all three of them behaved like gansta idiots, swearing and provocating.
The host of the show, obviously too young to recognize Kerkeling, got pranked real bad and was getting really nervous.
Hilarious.

Kerkeling also pulled off a stunt where he (this one's for Sjeng), disguised as (then) Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, was driven up to an official public queen-whatever-event by his chauffeur in a huge limousine, got out of the car, was photographed by the press and almost got in the building before being stopped by security all the time speaking German with a Dutch accent in a high pitched old woman's voice.
I almost *lemony goodness* my pants.
