Beware of CHUDs

Whenever I can't find any stories sufficiently ridiculous enough to post, there's only one place I can turn: Pravda! Yes, that wacky Russian newspaper really does write stories like this:

"Mutants live in the underworld of Moscow"
The whole thing is great, but this line is the gem:

"But the most horrible inhabitants of the underworld are the flying cockroaches, which the size of a tortoise! They fly in flocks and witnesses say you’d better not see their flight ever in life."

My God, no! The article also references "giant" half-inch worms and grasshoppers "the size of a saucer!" I'd like to thank Lena Ksandinova, the "translator" of this story, for bringing a little laughter into the world.

In conclusion: if you're ever visiting scenic Moscow, you should probably not make a day trip through the sewers.
