O, the heartache of growing older, more reflective, and questioning one's belief that once Grimace was evil and had six arms. At least now I can relive that youthful certainty.
I can honestly say that a six-armed Grimace rings no bells for me... Why?? I should remember this stuff!
What struck me though, is that the McMarketing department's creation of Grimace was truly Nostrodamus-like in its accuracy of the result of six-handed, binge eating... A whole generation of diabetic, overweight, grab-happy consumers.
Afanasy Nikitin was the first Russian to explore India, which he wound up doing in about 1466.
In history books you will find very little about his dealings with the Shuisky sisters, or Alnus Rugosa, or Das Brick, because I made them up.
Ali Qushji and Perkin Warbeck and Jami the Persian Poet were real people, who sadly never really had anything to do with Russia or Afanasy Nikitin. The Kreml, while a real place, was probably not as fun as it appears herein.
So abandon all pretence of learning about historical Russia, ye who enter here.
