Re: Odds & Ends: The 3rd Certainty Edition (4.00 / 2)
Time for some Russian Jokes (As told by Russian collegues)

Joke 1
Late one night Putin is visited by the ghost of Stalin.
GoS: I have two very important pieces of advise for you:
1: Ruthlessly persecute and oppress all your political enemies.
2: Repaint the Kremlin in blue.
Putin: Okay. But I must ask, why blue?
GoS: Hah! I knew you wouldn't ask about the first one!

Joke 2
0.5 liter of vodka - not enough
1 liter of vodka - enough
1.5 liter of vodka - too much
2 liter of vodka - again, no enough

Re: Odds &amp (none / 0)
The first one I've heard many times.  The second, I wonder, is it a joke, or just true?  ;)

Well I would suggest the only way to find out is through practical experimentation.

Re: Russia Today, apparently (none / 1)
First you destroy our illusions that they are communist Barbarians, now you destroy our view that they are vodka fueled drunks.

If we can be kept away from the Western media for a couple more months you'll have us all emigrating there.

I especially appreciated how they exposed the Brits as the "real" drunks, the true threats to society. ;)  Probably Russia won't have you guys.  Too barbaric for their civilized nation... lol.
