Let me know if his condition changes


It looks like the Russians are having a debate over what to do with Lenin's musty old corpse.

It seems some people want to have it buried, some want it moved out of Moscow to serve as a tourist attraction in a provincial capital, and the leftover commies want him to stay put. They're promising to pitch a bitch if he's planted.

Is it just me, or have they done this every few years since the collapse of the USSR? Seems familiar.

Anyway, I'm not really sure what the big deal is if he's buried. It isn't like he's coming back to life or anything, and I'm assuming that his grave would be accessible to visitors. I guess the Bolsheviks are just upset that if he's in the ground, they won't be able to see his evil little face anymore.

the commies are just afraid burying him will make it that much harder to commit necrophilia with the body. i mean, now you can just open the case and lube him up. but if they bury him, you have to dig through feet of probably frozen dirt and that just sucks.

Actually, I'm pretty sure his body is currently under armed guard, so digging him up could be easier. [shudder]

Thanks for playing, though.
