Not only Space travellers or BURAN Russian Shuttles launch from Baikonur, Russian space site. There is a contest for Space rockets among different youngsters is being hold there these days. Those rockets look like the photos of Lebanese "Katyusha"

rockets that have been fired in the direction of Israel this summer. Probably those youngsters could be of a great value for Hezbollah if they could provide them models with precise targeting. It was a joke, really.

Did you know that there was a space shuttle built in Russia, which has made a few successful flights but then the research project was closed due to lack of funding after the collapse of Soviet Union? The BURAN orbiter was the first reusable manned space vehicle in Russia. The BURAN orbiter is the space airplane which may descent from an orbit and land to an airdrome. The BURAN was Russian first vehicle capable not only to put pay-loads into Space, but also to provide their orbit maintenance and

repair as well as return to the Earth. The BURAN predecessors could execute only separate roles: VOSTOK and SOYUS vehicles were intended only for crew flights, PROGRESS - for cargo delivery onto the orbital station. Put into the orbit by a rocket carrier of the average size they had modest transport potentials. Whereas the cargo flow on the Earth-orbit line increased and the development of a reusable vehicles of large carrying capacity has become inevitable.

Probably some of you have already seen a Black Magic Square, but it has been said it is of Russian origin so I would list it here. Just follow the instructions

below and you probably would be amazed. If you have already seen it, just skip, I don't know how widely this thing is known across the Internet.

A funny video, made in Russian university during a maths class. A guy starts to behave himself crazy, the professor lady stands stunned, can’t say anything, other students are amazed. This

reminded me about bright Russian mathematician Gregory Perelman and his also not so common behavior, and I wondered was he also making such performances while studying maths?

This website come to my attention recently due to the strange production it is offering. The first thing that you can see on the site is a massive slogan “Russian Urine Against Doctor’s Scalpel”, in Russian this sounds rhymed. So what does sell the site with such a slogan? It sells urine, it exports Russian urine mainly to the USA, who can’t for some reason pay a visit to their clinic by person, can order their “unique” products online. They claim that they discovered some healing power in Russian urine, and that their discoveries were backed by hundreds of years of traditionalists using the urine for healing purposes. They say that urine comes from the most important part of a human, from the “life giving part of the human body”. There are a few types of the product that are being sold on this website. Their names are astonishing: “The Sea Breeze”, “Hunter’s brew”, “Not Filtered, Original”, they differ

in taste and in pharmacological characteristics. Also they sell a big bottles for gathering the urine, made of special plastics that automatically makes the urine gathered in the bottle ready to use, and some more sophisticated apparatus called “The Separator”, for brewing special sorts of urine at home from your own raw source. They say that device was awarded at UNESCO contest of innovations, and was developed by Russian Sechenov Institute. There is also an appeal for the donors who can submit their urine material for their institure as a source for the end products. They say all the donors are being tested heavily and interviewed. You want my opinion? That's disgusting. Links: The original "Russian Urine Production" website The translated version, by automatic web translator. And here is a big article from Nexus magazine on the subject

This a Yahoo.com screenshot of the article about Gregory Perelman, the mathematician who refused million dollar prize and Fields medal, by which he was awarded for Poincare conjecture solution, one of the hardest mathematical tasks of 20th century. And now he cannot be reached by any media for an interview or photo. In related posts down at this page you can see a link to an article how Russian TV media number one took his old photo and changed his appearance

(his suit and tie) to present it before hundred million audience in night news programm. And here is a screenshot of Gregory Perelman article in Yahoo, and Bin Laden, the terrorist number one photo occasionally was placed by banner rotating system of Yahoo on the same page. You can call it artificial intellect but they really look alike, and not only in the terms of appearance, but both cannot be found for a simple interview.

The aim of these experiments was to see if they could sustain life within an organism while they separated various organs and parts of the animals from the animal as a whole. They even go so far as to prove that a dogs head

could be sustained separated from the body - so long as they pumped blood through the head. Gruesome stuff. NO wonder some people protest against animal testing. This is pretty awful to watch - but fascinating.
