Facts about Russia part 2...

Ok , I admit it...I just don't want to study anymore (probably the reason I'm so motivated to write blog posts right now :P)
Thaaat's why I decided to have a good laugh and write a blog post about some funny facts concerning gooood old Russia (I mean.. that's basically like studying, right? )

#1 Each Russian consumes 18 liters of Alcohol a year. That's twice as much as experts consider healthy.
#2  9 million more women than men live in Russia.
#3 At the nearest point Russia and America are less than 4km apart (that's from where I live to the nearest train station- takes about 15 minutes by car to get there)
#4 Russia is bigger than Pluto.
#5 A russian woman in the 1700s gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets in just 40 years with the same man
#6 In 1908, the Imperial Russian Olympic Team arrived to London 12 days too late for the games because they were not using the Gregorian calendar yet. (haha, I really had to laugh about that one :'D; imagine what the team must have felt like once they figured out they wouldn't even get the chance to compete)
#7 Bears in Russia are addicted to jet fuel, and sniff it to get high and pass out.
#8 In 2010, a heat wave in Russia led to over 1,000 deaths, the majority of which died from drowning while swimming drunk!





And now a really funny video about Russian car drivers....at least the first part with the tank is REALLY funny... imagine experiencing that :D :D
