A Gift for My Friends

You know who you are ;-) I have recently become popular in places where you can't see this stuff legally. As salaam aleykum.

Time for a Tune-Up

Vladimir Lenin will take a two month vacation soon and leave his place of business for some rest and relaxation. He will leave his mausoleum on February 18 and stay gone until April 15. Officials in Russia say that he needs "some work" (as in "having work done") to restore his looks. The methods used in his preservation remain one of the world's best kept secrets. If they would let the secret out, they could make some major money from some of Hollywood's brightest and dullest lights. I can think of a few that could really use it - think plastic surgery gone wrong.

By the way, what do you think he has in his right hand?
