YAKUTSK – A local popular newspaper, Yakutsk Verchenyj, decided to surprise the residents of the coldest Siberian city and give them the New Year festive mood. Its workers have put Santa Clause’s hat on the head of Lenin Statue on the main square. See how it looked. In a few hours city officials said “That’s not good!” and took it off. Locals liked Lenin’s look :)

Happy New Year!

Christmas Adventure

About a Boy Special

Ms Merkel’s Christmas Adventure (1 / 3)

 BY SEBASTIAN DALKOWSKI – last update: 24.12.2009 – 18:18

 

Duesseldorf (RPO). Our columnist gets bored at Christmas and therefore think of a three-part adventure with the Chancellor. In the first episode Ms. Merkel arrives at the end of the world.

 Mrs Merkel was sweating like the underside of a lid, which lay on a pot of boiling water. She liked to draw early in the morning to ski their lonely orbits through the snow, but Mr. Sauer and they had long ceased to be in Switzerland, and she was a little out of practice. Now, at Christmas, they had finally found the time. With joy she thought of the evening, Christmas Eve. You, Mr. Sauer, the food, the tree, the gifts, the gifts, the gifts.

The sound that launched the failure of these plans was initially low. Mrs Merkel is hardly heard as loudly as she panted. Then she stopped in amazement and turned around. In the distance, a black van drove up. The track would destroy the whole beautiful, thought Mrs. Merkel. Driving here was not allowed at all.

Then she sat down again on the move. The noise grew louder. Mrs. Merkel stopped again, turned around and looked angrily at the van, which was slower and slower and finally stopped a few feet away from her.

“What are you thinking?” She cried, pointing a bird, still got out before anyone. The driver did not move. It was only then she noticed that he wore a black balaclava.
“Oh,” thought Mrs. Merkel, “I better be leaving.”
But no sooner had she turned, jumped two men, who also wore ski masks, from the hold into the snow. Three seconds later, Mrs. Merkel was black before his eyes.

Digged a really funny story at WinnipegSun.com today. A staff writer Joanne Richard raves about the radically inventive Radiance winter jacket which features built in heaters. Thanks to this new gadget, she says, she is no longer afraid of the big, bad cold. She asks readers to call her a snow hottie. Oh! Really?! Nice to meet you, snow hottie :)

Columbia's Snow Hottie and Bugathermo Boot What’s so special about this jacket? Please, read further about it. I would like to know your opinions.

I am trying to be serious and not to laugh until my cries. I just know that local villagers, especially the resident of Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk, will do that. Everytime when they see freezing strangers wrapped up in their ultra warm clothes, they love repeating “There is nothing better than fur clothes.”

So… Let’s read.

Joanne Richard writes “No need to come in from the cold or the freezing hockey arena. With the flip of a switch — just like those heavenly heated seats in a car — I’m warm all over and totally loving it thanks to Mountain Hardwear outerwear.”
