Moscow Police Raid Lab Full of Thousands of Leeches

This has got to be one of the most disgusting things I've read about in a long time ... The lab owner sounds like he's a little bit insane. This story actually reminds me of those stories you hear about a lot in the U.S. having to do with old ladies who keep hundreds of cats in their house ...

Moscow Police Raid Lab Full of Thousands of Harmful Leeches

Like a scene out of a horror movie, police in Moscow recently dismantled an underground laboratory, which housed more than 4,000 harmful leeches.

When police raided the lab, they found leeches crawling on the floors, walls and ceiling, according to a report in Pravda, a Russian news service. Lab personnel had reportedly been terrorized by the leeches numerous times, with one employee claiming he barely managed to take a leech off his leg when the creature attacked him.

Mel Gibson's Russian girlfriend has given birth to his eighth child. As this article notes, this officially makes her a baby mama and him an "octo-dad."

In seriousness, people seem to act like this is a wonderful thing. I wonder how it is that it's considered cool for Mel Gibson to have dumped his previous wife of 30 years for some Russian hottie ...


Actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson is a father for the eighth time after his Russian fiancé, Oksana Grigorieva, gave birth this weekend to a baby girl. Grigorieva was reported to have given birth Friday, though her official due date was not until December, according to RadarOnline.com, which broke the story.

Ghosts of Russia

Just in time for Halloween ... I enjoyed this piece about the ghost stories of Russia. The hauntings at the Kremlin are particularly interesting. It's not mentioned here, but I heard a story once about Vladimir Lenin's ghost being seen in the Kremlin shortly after his death. However, there were conflicting reports, with some saying that the ghost was seen while he was in fact still alive and on his deathbed. Interesting stuff, nonetheless ...

Star City - Russia's Space Capital

I though this was an interesting piece about Russia's famed "Star City." Funny that it is so well-known, yet hardly anyone has ever seen it. I wonder if there would be more enthusiasm for the Russian space program if they opened it up for more people to tour and see ...

It was once the place where Yuri Gargarin rocketed into the sky to become the first man to orbit the earth. Today, it is where countless astronauts and cosmonauts prepare for space travel inside mockups of the International Space Station.

It is Star City, a community of space researchers hidden in the woods northeast of Moscow. And despite its status as Russia’s home base during the historic space race and the multitude of advanced aeronautic research still conducted there, few people have ever had the chance to visit the famed town.
