”Soviet peasant filled with burning desire to read for glory of Soviet Russia. One day peasant go to Soviet bookstore, and sees book with skull on cover.
He asks owner how much is book, and owner responds 80 rubles. However, owner tell peasant never read last page, or else doom shall fall upon him!
Peasant reads all book in one night, is dark book of capitalism about by evil man, John Deere, talking of automated machinery and air conditioned tractors, many horrors in book indeed!
Yet peasant does not read last page, for he has fear in his heart! One night it storms however, and the man is bored. He finally gathers up enough Soviet courage to read last page, dispelling superstition, for he has faith in the Party.
As soon as he reads last page, man gasps! Book originally 20 rubles! The owner was Jew! dead because KGB kill them for trying to cover Lenin statue. Then militia arrest parents for not having Lenin statue. Such is life in Moscow.”

>Onto a battlefield littered with bizarre homemade weaponry, Libya’s ruling militia fighters have rolled out their weirdest contraption yet: a concrete and steel behemoth that’s a cross between a bulldozer and a battleship.
>The towering monster, which appeared today in Sirte to help capture Muammar Gaddafi’s home town, has a battleship’s pointed prow and portholes along its sides with steel covers that can be pulled down.
>Clad in concrete sandwiched between steel plates, it is painted in the colours of the new national flag - red, green and black.
>Built onto a tracked bulldozer in then-rebel workshops in the city of Misrata, the new weapon is designed to smash through roadblocks and barricades.
>The vehicle is also manned by four gunners who have five heavy machine guns to fire and a tank gun mounted on top.
>A video camera mounted on the front was damaged by gunfire and he has to rely on two comrades peering out of slits at the front to guide him.
>A commander wearing a gold-braided ship’s captain’s hat sat on top and shouted directions as Ali manoeuvred up to the battlefront.
>Asked about his headgear, he said: “It’s my lucky hat!”
