Urika is the goddess of snow, saunas and theatrical perfomances for fewer than 120 people. She combines two (count them!) Roundworld references:

1) Eureka - the cry reputedly uttered by Archimedes on working out how mass displaces water; and

2) Ulrika Jonsson, a Swede (snow and saunas??) who made her name on British TV (first as a weathergirl, then as team captain on surreal comedy show Shooting Stars with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer). Also famous for having a very brief affair with then-England manager Sven Goran Eriksson and for being beaten up in a restaurant by another celeb boyfriend, Stan Collymore*. He made it up for it though. By treating her to a slap-up meal. Hohohohohohohohohohohoho. Not that we find abuse funny on this wiki. Far from it. 'S a good joke tho.
