"Vasily Grigoryevich Zaytsev (March 23, 1915–December 15, 1991) was a Soviet sniper during World War II, notable particularly for his activities between November 10 and December 17, 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad. He killed 225 soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht and other Axis armies, including 11 enemy snipers.[1] Prior to 10 November, he had already killed 32 Axis soldiers with the standard-issue Mosin-Nagant rifle (tryokhlineyka, "three line rifle").[1] Between October 1942 and January 1943, Zaytsev had made 242 verified kills,[2] but the real number may be much higher,[3] some argue it might have been as many as 400.[4] His military rank at the time was Junior Lieutenant."

"his rifle is now engraved with the words: "To the Hero of the Soviet Union Zaytsev Vasily, who buried in Stalingrad more than 300 fascists."[1] (The rifle is now on exhibit in the Volgograd State Panoramic Museum's "Stalingrad Battle" exhibit.[5]) "

its the "including 11 enemy snipers" part that gets me. And how unapologetic and ruthless the words on his rifle are. Plus the guy died peacefully in his late 70's. How neat is that.

Fuckin ruskies.

Marklar you'll like this one too i just ran into:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Shulgin

"Shulgin is credited with the popularizing of MDMA in the late 1970s and early 1980s, especially for psychopharmaceutical use and the treatment of depression and Post-traumatic stress disorder. In subsequent years, Shulgin discovered, synthesized, and bioassayed over 230 psychoactive compounds. In 1991 and 1997, he and his wife Ann Shulgin authored the books PiHKAL and TiHKAL on the topic of psychoactive drugs. Shulgin discovered many noteworthy phenethylamines including the 2C* family of which 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-B are most well known. Additionally, Shulgin performed seminal work into the descriptive synthesis of compounds based on the organic compound tryptamine.

He is currently continuing his work at home in Lafayette, California, and is writing a new comprehensive psychedelic drug index."

I tried the soda bottle gravity bong once with an empty 2 liter bottle and a huge plastic tupperware dish full of water. This was before the days of youtube, I was just reading and following instructions. On the first try, I got 2 lungs full of water that I never saw coming.

I never tried it again. Saw it done properly years later on youtube. Still feel pretty stupid. The instructions never explicitly said lift the bottle out of the water.
