The most famous Russian design studio artlebedev.ru continues to present rather unexpected modifications of the ordinary things. For example, this TV remote controller has more buttons than channels in your TV-set. The creators say that using this device you can easily switch
between 399 channels. So if you like to click much, you are welcome. But don't lose yourself in TV reality. One more picture below. See also: Not a Common Matreshka Money Box in a Form of Air Bomb Cup With Saucer-Ashtray Your Personal Moon

Yesterday we mentioned the 50th anniversary of "Sputneg" (or "Sputnik") the first artificial Earth satellite. The same year it was launched it had a big impact on all the areas of Soviet life. For
example many architects wanted to commemorate Sputneg in their architecture, so many of the houses built that year carry the simplified Sputnik logo on them. Here is some examples:
Disposable plastic glasses got their second life as an advertisement media when paired with net fences in Perm city, Russia.
More and more places in this city get the glasses with ad slogans, it's like a graffiti but for a net fence.
In "Rambo 3" movie Sylvester Stallone took participation in quite strange but very rough game, where players should throw a dead body of a goat riding horses. So If you want to become as cool as Rambo 3, or 2, or just Stallone or whatever, you don't need to go to Afganistan and fight against terrorists. Actually this game is very widespread in many Central Asian countries, including some former republics of the USSR, such as
Tajikistan, where it is called buzkashi, Uzbekistan (ulak or kupkari), Kazakhstan (kopkar tartu) and Kirgizia. Some people in Russia call it "kozlodranie" from the words "koziol" (goat) and "drat' " (tear up). The rules of this game resemble in some way American football or Rugby with a goat instead of a ball. So if you like to play with dead animals - you are welcome to Kazakhstan and even farther.
Two Voronezh foresters spotted strange resembling a human being creature with the long ears and blue skin. The blue elf (he was named in such a way) behaved very aggressively,
brandishing with his battle cutlass! At the end he started to use bad language and even tried to take off the camera. Nobody can say anything definite about the color of his skin.

Looks like Russians can turn an ordinary home computer into almost everything. For example, looks like this
one can fill your mug with a fresh beer. Though actually nobody can tell how this weird thing works.

This half tank could use and its four wheels and the two tracks on its sides. When it needs a high speed it lifts the tracks and moves very fast, on paved roads etc, but when it gets stuck in some heavy mud and four wheel drive is not
enough it emerges its two tracks and can get out of some heavy swamps. And if the inflated rubber wheels get shot flat or burned down he can also use tracks - the wheels are not necessary when it moves on tracks.
