According to Pravda a group of fishermen captured a strange creature in the Azov sea. They thought it was an extraterrestrial alien, and what does one do when confronted with a squealing alien demanding to be taken to your leader? Well, you eat it, of course.

I'm reminded of the story in which a wife clubs her husband to death with a frozen leg of lamb, then cooks it and serves it to the ivestigating police. :p

Pravda.ru makes me sad. Its the perfect indicator of the depths the Gangster Capitalists sunk to in the 1990s... they sold the brand of the Communist Party newspaper to a publisher with less journalistic integrity than Weekly World News. Its Lenin-in-grave-turning stuff.

What's funny is that they thought it was an alien but ate it anyway.

Ironically, Pravda today has a lot more truth in it than the Pravda under the Soviets.

Well, given that the ownership went from Party oligarchs to plutocrats, it's not exactly that much of an improvement.

Yeah, that doesn't help either. He wants the Russian media to play the role it did under the USSR; it provided cheap, bread-and-circuses entertainment as a way to distract people from real issues. The real issues it did report on were closely monitored and censored to reflect the party line, whatever it was at the time.

That's not an alien.... It's something like an electric ray laying on it's back so you see it's belly.

You can tell it's in the electric ray family by the tail fins...

Sorry, it was funny, sure. No offense, but you just haven't been here long enough to be as sick of that stuff as I am. Had to be killed to prevent the ignorant follow-ons that were bound to come. Consider it preventative euthanasia. ;)

Did anyone check the video out? It is an Arabic classical song playing in the background. Which I find odd. However interesting this video is check out some of the other videos on that same page. ;)

One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.
Of course, when you've drunken a bucket of vodka-flavoured industrial cleaner, monkey vomit would taste good.

You're absolutely right, I apologize most profusely...

Perhaps it’s a big cover-up over all these years, by the likes of well known alien supporters, that Jacque Cousteau and family and their ilk. ALL rays are really alien invaders, spying on us and waiting for their chance to strike... I mean really just look at those crazy things, alien life forms for sure, and what about that Crocodile Hunter? Killed by a ray, mere coincidence? I think not. :eek:

apology accepted. Just always remind yourself: reality and reasonableness are not permitted in NS General Forums.

You have a point about Irwin. Maybe he saw something he shouldn 't have. he knew too much and the rays had to kill him!
