Say, that Bust of Lenin in Antarctica would go really well with the Headless Statue of Lenin in Las Vegas!

Appropriately enough, considering the location of that bust:
They should keep it in a big aquarium, instead.
Don’t be ridiculous! That body in Red Square is the Real Lenin, put in that Glass Coffin by the Seven Dwarves after he bit the apple that Stalin gave him. He’s only waiting for his Anastasia to come and kiss him so he can wake up and go off to the Worker’s Paradise in the sky.

You mean miners? Oh, sure just because they’re workingmen you have to belittle them and undermine their stature. Is this what you mean when you say, “Rightsizing?”

Well that’s…interesting.
Must be a deleted scene from Happy Feet.

No, silly. The Seven Dwarves were the seven 1960’s mainframe computer companies that weren’t IBM. They remained true to their proletarian roots and refused to swear fealty to IBM’s 1960’s-era Undead Corporate Minions, and were sadly betrayed. They escaped to the wilderness and lived in a small way off the occaisional DP contract and mainrenance fee. But they would have their revenge…

The story i heard: sometime in the late 1930’s lenin’s body began to deacy (big time). Stalin had the morticians shot, but there was no solution-water had leaked inot the tomb, and lenin was putrid. So, the body was creamted, and a wax dummy was substituted. Anybody that knows the details is long dead, having been shot or sent to Siberia.
The capitalist pigs should have plastered him with advertising logos.

I had always heard that permanent structures were nearly impossible on Antarctica. The snow just continually builds and covers every thing. I watched a discovery channel program on the new Antarctica station that is designed to be raised 10 feet every 20 years years so it doesn’t disappear.
So how come Lenin isn’t 50 feet under snow? Is it just a part of Antarctica that gets no weather?

Another article said that the base is buried under five meters of snow.

Dammit, I wanted to be the one to say that! Well done.

What a happy thing to be fleet of finger! 
The link to the porkin penguins said that the bust of Lenin is on the top of a building. The link in the OP shows just Lenin. So, it stands to reason that the building is under snow.

Why are the two penguins porkin’ each other?! :eek: :dubious:

My reaction exactly. :eek: :dubious:
If @Lumpy can revive his Cursed Col. Sanders thread with an updated pic, I think I should do the same with my Lenin thread:
The Americans stayed there for less than a week taking measurements, but before they left they, in an act of mischief, rotated the bust of Lenin—which originally faced towards Moscow— so that it now faced Washington DC.
The Russians returned to the site for one last time in 1967.
So, what, the Russian didn’t rotate it back?
