Yup. First they had slit trenches, then outhouses and then indoor plumbing.
But they never could get the toilet paper thing worked out too well.
From http://www.yakov.com/news/
President Reagan had a great understanding of the differences between the reality of Russian life and life in these United States. The first joke he ever told me was the story about the Russian who wanted to purchase a car. The factory manager told him it would take a long time, that they would put his name on the list and to come back in 20 years. The man said, "Do I pick it up in the morning or in the afternoon?" The factory manager asked, "What's the difference 20 years from now?" The Russian said, "Because the plumber is scheduled to come that morning."
126? My how time flies when you're having fun............
What did they do? Beat a old peasant for an hour then send her to a gulag?
Erecting statues of Stalin in Russia would be a lot like erecting statues of Hitler in Germany.
A bad idea.
The only true way to honor Stalin is to starve out some villages then put the survivors in concentration camps above the Artic circle.
I'll be sure to take a dump this evening in Stalin's honor.
One of the most prolific mass murderers in history (probably second only to Mao). His "leadership" in WWII was one of the primary causes of that conflict (Hitler/Stalin non-aggression pact). His purges of the army in the thirties coupled with his lack of preparation for the German attack (he refused to believe it would happen) led to the deaths of millions of Russians and the devastation of the nation. He was a paranoid and a fool and one of the very worst "leaders" to ever plague mankind.
This is the equivalent of Germany unveiling a statue of Adolf Hilter on his birthday.
Murderer of millions-- what a thing to celebrate.
Russia has an intelligence gap. Extremely smart people and extremely stupid people.
Was there a celebritory firing line with dissenters in his honor?
The scumbag commie punk murdered as many people (or more) than Hitler. To erect a statue to honor this bastard is a disgrace and an unforgiveable insult to the memories of his millions of victims.
I was going to join the celebration,but couldn't.
Damn constipation !
I guess heavy drinking makes people forget...
It slipped my mind again!
Eduard Radzinsky's book said that Stalin lied about his age and he was born a year earlier. Thus, he would be 127.
If it was me, I would find his grave and piss on it. Is that wrong?
