Annals of Russian . . . umm . . . cuisine

It's time to play "Identify that Really Weird Thing in the Photograph"!

Is it:

(a) The Kremlin's birthday gift to Boris Berezovsky

(b) A recovery from the tomb of Cheops

(c) A radioactive isotope

(d) A "pashka" (Russian Easter "treat")

Seriously, are there any circumstances under which you would
consider consuming this object internally?

I might still try it if a hospital were nearby; 4/03/2007 6:47 PM

And it is not pashka, of course, but paskha (literally, "Easter"). The idea is to get something sweet and heavy after the Easter fast.; 4/03/2007 10:55 PM

La Russophobe

Girl Power: Ginger Rogers could do everything Fred Astaire could do . . . backwards, and in high heels.

Pioneer Power: Though he painted more than 1,000 works of art in his lifetime, Vincent Van Gogh sold only two.

Mark Twain: "It's a man with very little imagination who can only spell a word one way."

Socrates: "To be is to do." Sartre: "To do is to be." Sinatra: "Do be do be do."

Girl Power: On May 14, 2006, a perfect game was pitched in the Oakfield, New York Little League. Perfect as in 18 consecutive strikeouts. The pitcher's name? Katie Brownell. She's the only female player in the league.

Girl Power: On April 13, 2007, the Independent reported that women will soon be able to produce sperm cells from their bone marrow, making men obsolete.
