Um... hasn't this been the plot of a bazillion bad scifi movies? [link]
THE Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered the creation of Planet of the Apes-style warriors by crossing humans with apes, according to recently uncovered secret documents.
Moscow archives show that in the mid-1920s Russia's top animal breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super-warrior.
According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: "I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat."
In 1926 the Politburo in Moscow passed the request to the Academy of Science with the order to build a "living war machine".
Those time-traveling cell biologists never trusted Stalin. Nor will they.
This
would
explain that 'Pocket Hercules' weightlifter -- wasn't he from Bulgaria?
See, I know he was the devil incarnate and slaughtered millions, but its nice to know that sometimes he had good old-fashioned evil-overloard
fun
being Stalin.
I want to marry the judge and have his babies....
And they left out the line where he refers to "the breathtaking inanity of the Board's decision."
He got me just want I wanted for Christmas. I should send him a card or something.
Gud, that's awful and harrowing.
My test just got cocked up again, because someone figured following the steps
they
made up wouldn't be required. So another last minute panic drama. Thank dog I'm only taking one day off.

Heyyy. My brother eats anything, and he's certainly resistant for values that = stubborn. Aaaand, a KGB guy with some weird device once told him he was invincible. (They could tell from his aura.)
Crap. I think maybe I need to get him something nicer for Xmas.
Speaking of pastafarians, I keep meaning to take a picture of this house around the corner from me. Fortunately, City Paper took care of that last week so I can share.

I am catching up on Ellen's for the week and Jim Carrey is making me cry I am laughing so hard. Don't usually like him at all.
Gud, that's awful.
In other news, I DON'T CARE if you got product xxxx in 1990 from us. I was 15 then. They were probably writing data on reels and shipping it by pony express. It's been a while. Things change. I don't care if that makes you feel old. ADAPT. If it's been 15 years, that we now call it product xxxy doesn't make it "new"
