The Best(?) Of Pravda
So much I did not know, so much, for example:
I had no idea that the earth was threatened by drowning in a sea of mercury, I mean think how many thermometers you'd have to break! OK, so the story is about mercury in seafood, but did you know that ingesting mercury isn't much of a problem? It's the inhalation of vapors that's the issue! I explained toxicity on Monday.
This, on the other hand, I knew quite well, having been there:
What they conveniently fail to mention is that the facilities Ukraine is using were built by the Soviet Union when Russia was in charge! Wasn't a problem then.
I know you're wondering - how did Pravda cover the Academy Awards? Here is the lead headline:
You have to love that! -- It's not about who won, it's about who didn't.
Finally, if this headline does not make you laugh, then you will never get this weekly feature:
