I work now with a few Russians in computers. And have met many in conjunction with my star wars research.

The most interesting is the guy who worked with dolphins. He claimed he could understand their speech, since he was a bit of a psychic.

I once asked him if he could turn off lights. He replied that he once put a traffic light out of commission in Florida, and the technicians were unable to fix it.

One of the guys I work with now, Vadimir, spent most of his time in the artic and once wrestled a polar bear.

Russians are very interesting people.
