You know these guys, Dmitry and …

This is serious, this is not a joke! If you thought the Soviet Realism is a thing of the past and can only be seen in Museums dedicated to that era, you are so wrong. These masterpieces can be found on the walls of one of Moscow’s polyclinics, and, yes, it’s them – Dmitry and Vladimir! Seen any Barack and Joe paintings lately? Let us know!

Oh, and can they play chess?

The high and mighty

Apparently a picture is worth thousand words. Sometimes the picture speaks for itself, occasionally it needs a comment. Good people at Punditkitchen.com have made some well funny comments about the P.I.C. and not just them. Check it out!

Westernisation gone too far?

When the Russian army choir did the GO WEST with the Pet Shop Boys, it was kind of creepy, but the cover of the Beatles LET IT BE is just outright weird. The opera style singing and “background-dancing”, or should we say – “foreground-waving”?

Oh yes, and check out the guy with the mustache in the back, second row, third from left… I’m sure he doesn’t even know what is this song about…

This could be you!

So we laugh at celebrities and famous people. We love those crazy pictures… Now it’s our turn!

Ok, maybe on a slightly different scale, but us – ordinary people, we can have as crazy and strange pictures. You know some of them were taken before the digital era, when you had no way of checking if you will end up looking nice and smiley on that photo, some of them have got lots to do with the timing – eighties, nineties, some of them taken at the wrong time in the wrong place… But some of them are just downright strange and awkward. Oh, yes, we all have them; you know the ones that you try to hide between the last pages of your family album, so that nobody would ever see them. Well, some of us aren’t so lucky, and now have the whole worlds checking them out.

The Fun Theory

Mororu — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:00:47 +0000

Sweden the land where many positive things have come from. Volvo, the ABBA, Vikings and Gustaf Erik Pasch, who invented the safety match – are just a few of them. Swedes never seize to bring us more positivity, so this time it’s the fun theory or “rolighets teorin” in Swedish. Apparently fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. And here is how they do it, with a little help from VolksWagen:

The Piano Stairs

The Bottle Bank Arcade

The World’s Deepest Bin

There is actually a competition open as well, so if you think you have something to contribute to the Fun Theory, here you go: http://www.thefuntheory.com/?q=rolighetsstipendiet

P.S. There are 2500€ at stake!

Have the marshmallow & eat it

Ever wondered what the scientists do? Now we know it – make the children suffer!

On a more serious note – apparently if the child is able to hold off eating the marshmallow, he or she did better in school and in life. The initial experiment was run by Walter Mischel in the 1960’s, following each of the 4 year olds involved for 18 years! Apparently it’s all about self-control! So there you go – good things come to those who wait!

Prince Charming is looking for his Cinderella

Still not convinced?

Failing at its best

There’s someone failing everyday and some of it is damn right funny! Some people, though, have not failed to get it all together in their blog: www.failblog.org

Meanwhile here are our favourites:

Might be embarrassing for him, but sure hilarious for us!

And another timeless classic:
