why is russia so big? (Page 1 of 8)

Yeah, why is Russia so big it's always bugged me?

because no one wants siberia.

it really is the middle of butt fu<king nowhere.

if you've ever flown over it, you'll know what i mean. absolutely fu<k all there.

apart from the gulags. but i think they're all gone now.

i think there's also a lot of nuclear missile base/control areas there... but since september 11 all the websites that used to have sattelite pictures of them have been shut down.

a bit like the american mid-west. but bigger.

Russian is longer and thinner on the Peter's Map

Africa is huge on the same map

matthew and ben, you dont know the answer do you?  we'd never hav known had you kept your mouths shut 

and its a legitamate question, its not my fault i actually use my brain rather than abuse it... ben.

Russia's cool, easy to colour in on map during geography lessons, I always preferred to go for a 'Stalin red' 

Sparky, Siberia is the place were Russians send people like you, a few years in the gulag would put some muscles on your bones, you'd have a ring piece that you could pass Jupitor, Saturn, Neptune & Mars through.

It'd be like a planetary love-bead  :shock:

it's cos they were short

Sparkey = Weak arse socialist who doesn't understand the concept of corruption = swift deportment to siberia.

Not too sure about the love bead thing going on here Steve.

ben's brain... work...

no, sorry, that doesnt add up...

The following information in top secret confidential property of the world government.

The reason Russia is so big is that many many moons ago a parakeet descended upon the earth and came upon a bunch of pigeons.  Pigeons walk a little funny - thrusting their heads forwards and backwards as they go.  The parakeet found that playing loud, repetitive music to them made them walk faster and wobble their heads even more.  But the energy thus generated caused their brains to expand within their tiny skulls and the flock of mad, pink-eyed pigeons took over the sound system to catapult them and their fellows into ever-higher states of consciousness.  Because of the peculiar frequency of the music they played only their brains were affected (everyone else just found it annoying).  So governments of the world united (especially the UK) to banish them somewhere cold where they would hopefully freeze to death.  Only Russia was big enough for this as by now the pigeons were many (historical note: and it was practical as at the time Russia was inhabited by the Japanese who didn't make efficient use of it due to their agoraphobia - so they were granted Japan by the Aztecs)
