darndest “About me” post

Posted by lordpinoy on 23rd March 2008

I have two hands: the left and the right.

I hold them high because they’re clean and bright.

Sometimes I clap slowly, like 1… 2… 3…  because

clean little hands are good to see.

Russia deploys new BOMBS

Posted by lordpinoy on 18th March 2008

Welcome to the 21st Century.
Leave your missiles behind.
Enter, the newest breed of nuclear war deterrents.

The Mother of all Bombs:
Missatom

(Caption: буду вашей мумией?)

Ms. Yulia Nagayeva, crowned Miss Atom 2008 in Russia, a beauty pageant open only to workers in Russia’s nuclear industry… and would you believe it Ms. Nagayeva works on nuclear fuels.

The contest’ website: http://miss2008.nuclear.ru/

And if that isn’t enough to heighten your curiosity, the other winner was:
Ms. Svetlana Burkeyeva (below):

She was also designated as the face of the contest, presumably because of her prop (radiation banner/logo).

… World peace. This could actually work.

P.S.
