From the TRAINS Newwswire (no, I'm NOT kidding!): Oh, those Russians! LONDON – A group of Russian train conductors needed hospital treatment after smashing their heads repeatedly against a coach window to find out who had the strongest forehead. The conductors came up with the contest as a way of passing time on the 3,000-mile journey from Novosibirsk in Siberia to Vladivostok. The men were treated in hospital after stopping the train midway through the journey at the town of Vyazemskaya and demanding medical help.
They must have been hanging their head out the windows and froze their brains. Does that give them vodka on the rocks in the head?
Their ideas probably come from watching American TV......Fear Factor ??.....Ripley's Believe it or Not ?? .....or.......they had broken some kind of law, and their punishment was being forced to watch the entire season tapes of "Joe Millionaire", strapped to a chair.....with NO vodka...??? regards / Mike
Or maybe it was MTV Russia's new extreme stunt show- "Jackasski". (NOTE: Unless you are unfortunate to watch MTV these days, you'll miss the joke).
