Putin has decided to revive the now retro/classic tactic of sending long range bombers on flights, presumably to show that he is able to squander every last resource Russia has on jet fuel and trying to <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/russia/article/0,,2146629,00.html">pass off James Cameron movies</a> as news footage.</p>

The man with the <a href="http://shanghaiist.com/2007/08/22/man_with_worlds.php">World&#8217;s Largest Hand</a> went in for surgery to have it, uh&#8230;fixed.

When Swedish police asked him to take a breathalizer, he told them that under U.S. law, he didn&#8217;t have to.  A problem with that, Bill&#8230;you&#8217;re in Sweden.  He later submitted to a blood test, and more than likely a wicked hangover and a near-terminal case of embarrassment.</p>

The thing is, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/19/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/19peoplect.html?_r=1&#038;oref=slogin">he bought the car in 1938</a>.  It&#8217;s a 1929 Ford Model A, which he bought for $10 from a guy during the Depression.  If you think about it, he&#8217;s had the car for 69 years.  He paid ten bucks for it, meaning that car has cost him about fifteen cents a year.</p>
