I especially like the "break dancing" antics of Contestant #8 at minute 4:33  ;) Is it too late to enter him in the Sochi Olympics??? 8)

While taking an interest in your youtube I happened upon a factoid about Lenin statues remaining in the world that may only interest me.

Question: What do all of these former Soviet Republics have in common in regards to statues of Lenin? .....

Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan

Answer: They all have fewer statues of Lenin standing than the U.S.A. which has 4.

And another interesting tidbit I learned: Kiev is the 8th largest city in Europe, according to Wikipidea. I had no idea.

I'm not sure whether the one in Vegas should count against us or not, since it's headless.

I think we still win, or at least tie in the medal count, even if you take away the headless Lenin.

The one in Seattle is the most perplexing.

Fascinating!  Thanks for sharing.  The one at 1600 Pennsylvania must be cloaked (Klingon and Romulan technology).  :o
