Did you hear the one about Stalin's giant crabs?

This is another one from Uncle Joe. In exchange for sending me that awesome North Korean video, I responded with the article that springheel_jack posted about Stalin's plan to breed an army of man-ape supersoldiers.

Well, apparently a certain listserv is all excited about the article and is furiously researching to find out if it's true (they don't think it is, and actually, neither do I, but since it's completely hilarious I'm going to keep talking about it). The conclusion was that this was as silly as "that article about Stalin's monster crabs."

To which I naturally responded, "You are going to send me the article about the monster crabs, aren't you? Otherwise you are a tease."

Apologies to those of you who might have seen this already.

Stalin's crabs!


"History shows that there are no invincible armies"....unless they're giant fucking crabs.
