You know, the Colonel looks [creepier](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Colonel_Sanders4.JPG) in pristine condition than he does after twenty years in Davy Jones’ Locker…

If **Lumpy** can revive his Cursed Col. Sanders thread with a new pic, I think I can revive my Brooding Lenin thread:

> [@50 years on, Lenin still brooding over one of the most inaccessible places on Earth](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/50-years-on-lenin-still-brooding-over-one-of-the-most-inaccessible-places-on-earth/389038):
>
> [News reports](http://www.nbc4.com/news/10808579/detail.html) indicate that a team of one Canadian and three Britons have reached the “Pole of Inaccessibility” - the spot in the centre of Antarctica that is farthest from any coast. And they did it on foot, and by kite-skiing - no motorised equipment. And they found [Lenin](http://www.k2climb.net/news.php?id=15530) waiting for them. Or at least, a bust of him that a Soviet expedition put up 50 years ago. Poor V.I. - still dreaming of the proletariat revolution that was going to sweep the globe…
