Well THIS is Interesting
Every once in awhile, a story comes along that makes you just scratch your head and say "huh." This is one of those stories - "Stalin's half-man, half-ape super-warriors:"
THE Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered the creation of Planet of the Apes-style warriors by crossing humans with apes, according to recently uncovered secret documents.I'm going to be watching Snopes for the next few days to see if this story holds up, but I'll be darned if that isn't one of the best headlines I've read this year.Moscow archives show that in the mid-1920s Russia's top animal breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super-warrior.
According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: "I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat."

I love the way you write and also the theme on your blog. Did you code this yourself or was it done by a professional? I'm very very impressed.
