"Literally lost in space for the past 30 years, we discovered it hanging 20 feet above the ground in a science institute near Kiev."

ISTR hearing that Lenin's corpse was legless, due to an embalming error or something?

Lenin's legs turned up in my Amazon Gold Box offers the other day, but I clicked past them without thinking.

In a steel cage death-match, Telstar would kick Sputnik's ass.
