Where things invent YOU

Did you know …

That Russia has historically been a hotbed of scientific invention? It’s true!

I only bring it up because the DSF has been really huge in Mother Russia lately. Not, like, a free trip to Leningrad huge, but there have been literally dozens of Russian clicks on the blog in the last week or so. Presumably these are coming from tiny Russian robots, not actual Russian human beings, but a click is a click, and it’s a real privilege to educate those lil’ ‘bots. So I thought I’d turn the milky eye of science toward the Rus for a moment.

Some things invented by Russians in Russia in the last two hundred years:

-Misery
-Cybernetic limbs
-Bear massage
-Bear wrasslin’
-Necrotic frostbite
-Vidka (like vodka, but with fewer calories)
-The Ford Model T
-Roast horse
-Krump dancing?
