MAN ATTEMPTS TO STEAL LENIN’S BODY

A drunk man in Moscow apparently tried to steal the embalmed body of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union. The communist theorist, who died in 1924, was embalmed and placed in a glass coffin in a mausoleum in Red Square, where it is a major tourist attraction. The man climbed over the barriers in front of the mausoleum and tried to enter the heavily guarded building outside the Kremlin walls. He was arrested at the entrance and “diagnosed” with “a mental disorder due to alcoholism,” according to the Russian state news agency.
* Alcoholism? In Russia? What are the odds?
* Why would anybody try to steal Lenin’s body? Dude, the Beatles are NOT going to reunite, no matter how much you want it.
* Weekend at Berninevich’s.
* As long as nobody opens that glass box. P.U.!!!
* The Russians put their embalmed heroes on display. Here in the Western world, we prop them up to play guitar for the Rolling Stones.
