MPK Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Just as Peter The Great ordered the Boyars to shave off their beards, will Vladimir Putin order all Russian male coifs to be shorn, so that there are only baldies left, thus breaking the chain of historical determinism? An interesting side effect might be the massive stimulation of the Russian economy by this "Barberstroika" movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 This raises the question of whether there will ever again be another bald American president. Or a fat one. Or one who wears glasses full time. It's as if Karl Rove is Bush's Dorian Grey! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Viljuri Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 The original question was almost superfluous! C.G Mannerheim would have trashed them both hands down! So would have Sir Winston. And Queen's dogs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
