Lenin Kills Belarussian Hanger-On

Lenin statue collapses, kills man in Belarus - Yahoo! News
Belarusian officials says that a massive statue of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin collapsed on a man who was hanging from it, killing him on the spot.

The Emergency Situations ministry said Monday that the 21-year-old man was drunk when he climbed onto the five-meter (16-feet)-high plaster monument early Monday and hung from its arm. It then broke into pieces and he was crushed.

Tries not to laugh. Fails.

Very much digging the new template, by the way.

Thanks, Jessamyn. The new template is a non-standard "independent" model. I looked at about a zillion before I lit on this one.
