From the Blogmocracy’s News As It Happens Department, there’s this:

“Tourism chiefs in Serbia are hoping their annual testicle cooking competition will attract a significant amount of international visitors.

According to Orange News, the Testicle Cooking World Championship in Ozrem will feature delicacies made from the testicles of bull, wild boar, horse, shark, ostrich, kangaroo, donkey, turkey, goat, reindeer and elk.

The testicle cooking contest starts on 27 August, with the final taking place on 29 August.”

The Culinary Cojones Cooking & Consumption Competition will undoubtedly create a stampede for the Ozrem zoo as well, as people from around the world are booking flights just to hear what bulls, boars, horses, sharks, ostriches, kangaroos, donkeys, turkeys, goats, reindeer and elk males all sound like on helium.

Tip o’ the Tarboosh to coldwarrior for the link, and a Tip o’ the Stein for the rest of us while we chow down on another Overnight Open Thread.

April Fools Day in Россия = Lenin Fart Day

Apparently there’s a tradition in Russia that involves decorating/desecrating/mocking the ubiquitous statues of Lenin on April Fools Day, and this one in particular is in a class by itself.  From the excellent website English Russia:

And so, on April Fool’s Day they made Lenin Fart Day, with putting 300 gram TNT explosives inside the monument that was located in very busy city square of seven million population Russian city.

Then at designated hour they heard a boom. Be sure it was heard by hundreds or even thousands of passers by as this unfortunate Lenin statue was right in front of St. Petersburg’s railway station.

The consequences might be very rough for the ones who made this happen, but it is still unclear have they been found or not.

Other examples of anti-Lenin pranks can be found here.

Oh yeah. This is a shamelessly open thread.
