“93 year old dead corpse.”

Those “live corpses” can be some scary dudes.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I think people are missing the point. It's a macabre Ripley's Believe It or Not curio. People go for the gawking not the ideology. I say sell it to a Las Vegas casino as an attraction.

He’s dead, Jim.

[Billthedrill]

Where Lenin lies the red flag flies, and the rat-grey workers wait
To tread the gloom of Lenin's Tomb, where the Comrade lies in state.
With lagging pace they scan his face, so weary yet so firm;
For years a score they've laboured sore to save him from the worm.
The Kremlin walls are grimly grey, but Lenin's Tomb is red,
And pilgrims from the Sour Lands say: "He sleeps and is not dead."
Before their eyes in peace he lies, a symbol and a sign,
And as they pass that dome of glass they see - a God Divine.
So Doctors plug him full of dope, for if he drops to dust,
So will collapse their faith and hope, the whole combine will bust.
But say, Tovarich; hark to me . . . a secret I'll disclose,
For I did see what none did see; I know what no one knows.

Looks like Chuck Todd taking a nap.

Communist western tourists.

What the American press refers to reverently as “Lenin’s Tomb”, my friends in Russia call “The Mummy”.

[JudgemAll]

I see they still hate Trotzky in Russia....

[Hardastarboard]

I read an article a few years back that said that Lenin’s corpse in Red Square is kind of like the dead mouse in the kitchen that no one knows exactly what to do with. I LOL’ed at that one.

How much money from tourists would Russia lose, if Lenin’s corpse is, eventually, buried, or destroyed? Is the curiosity factor from tourists wanting to see the body high, or not?

[Brilliant]

Mainly because it’s a tourist attraction I think. They need a UFO sighting to take its place.
