Brian was just surfing around and happened upon this news story about voting in Sverdlovsk. Apparently, a number of people voted for Harry Potter to be the new governor of Sverdlovsk. Click here to read the article. Frankly, I would vote for Harry Potter over most candidates that run for office in the US.

I also found an article about a woman from Morocco that has been pregnant for 46 years. Read about that here. I think the Russians enjoy reporting on things that would only make the tabloids in the US…

Russian news makes me chuckle.

The minor league baseball fireworks around here have stopped for the evening. Yay.

Russian candidate says he was kidnapped against will I cannot really put my finger on why this story made me laugh. Maybe it is because it is a Chinese news source or maybe it just sounds rather funny, I have no idea.

The Mars Beneath the Waves This is not an exceptionally important article and it is not even very informative. I simply like it because it does raise the point that we need to explore the oceans in depth more than we are now. People around the world are more concerned with what is in space versus the unknown that lives all around us and shares a planet with us.
