Basileia

I’m frustrated cos I can’t find the article corresponding to the story I heard on the bbc world service podcast to-day, but it was hilarious. Apparently, the Russian army has decided to change their uniforms, but in the process, they’ve realized that a lot of their top-ranking officers are obscenely overweight. Now they’re putting them all on a diet!

Oh, well, if I lived in Russia, I’d be fat, too. It’s cold there! Speaking of fat (but don’t expect too close a connection), another funny thing is Danny Kaye.
