    All the worlds a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe thats why its hard to tell if were living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Russian kids are crazy. I think a lot of them have a death wish. Check out this video of a bunch of Russian kids playing on a 1000 foot tower. In particular the crazy dame who decides she should sit on the very edge and the guy who takes it a huge step further and decides to stand out there.

    I'm not Russian to do something stupid twice! I got to the top of the arc and fell head first, lucky I didn't break my neck. Again? Я не сумасшедший!

    I'm not bad with heights but at the same time I am not about to take risks like standing on the edge of a narrow beam 1000 feet up with no safety gear for no reason.

    Bout time. Their space program was crap from the beginning. Men shoved into a rocket and forced to be blasted into space with almost no training. It was a miracle they got any of them back alive. That was the Soviet way. Contrary to our space program which was voluntary and involved strict training and preparedness.

    Notice the buildings in the background of the video. You see that depressing construction all over Russia. Russia once had some beautiful architechture but under the Soviets people were housed in dismal, ugly, conditions.
