  3. Russian troops are trogging through the Finnish wilderness at night. Suddently they hear someone yelling from a nearby hilltop "A Finnish soldier beats any Russian soldier any time!". A Russian soldier volunteers to prove otherwise and runs up the hill, but soon falls to a sniper bullet . The voice yells "Ha! One Finnish soldier is better than any two Russian soldiers!". The Russians take cover and an officer sends two scouts around the hill to flank the sniper. After a moment two shots are heard and the same voice yells "One Finnish soldier is better than 10 Russian soldiers!". The Russians send ten men up the hill. More shooting and a grenade explosion later no one comes back and they hear "One Finnish soldier is better than a whole platoon of Russian soldiers!". So the Russians send a whole platoon. After several minutes of gunfire grenade explosions a wounded Russian crawls back to the rest of the troops, grabs an officer by the shirt and says "It was a TRAP! There are TWO of them!"
  4. Got my digital link to In Search of Tomorrow and started watching it. Dang. Five hours of 80's sci-fi documentary. Going year by year with occasional intercuts of related aspects. An assortment of writers, directors, actors, etc. talking about their times, influences, related films. Only watched a bit over an hour of it so far, there's nothing been too deep and revealing, but a lot of light background and nostalgia building all the connections between things. Enjoying it so far, worth a viewing.
  5. BBC - Ukraine: India doctor stranded with a jaguar and panther
