ive heard about Inuit throat singing (although i guess this is supposed to be Siberian).........thats nuts. Unique for sure

To answer all the concerns over the dummy v. human debate . . . The problem is that many times the cat HAS known the difference but still chose to maul the human. There was a photographer who did senior pictures with a "tamed" tiger until a girl was mauled by one, her face almost completely torn off. Or the many owners who think it's a great idea until they become a threat.

These animals are fierce hunters who are not inclined to defend their "friends" such as a dog. A dog is a pack animal, willing to give it's life for the pack leader (aka human) while a animal of this magnitude may hunt with others, they are still highly individualistic and will do what they must to be alpha. A 200lb human against a 650lb Siberian is no joke, and your chances of living are almost zero. They are MAGNIFICENT creatures, but they are also highly dangerous to your health. Love and respect them, but from afar.

The only different between you and that dummy . . . you are more fun to kill.

Note to self:

     Do not leave my dummy near my Siberian Tiger.

Noted.

Back in the day yo as we learned
A man was not considered to be
Considered to be fully grown
Has he not gona beyond the hills
Has he not crossed the 7 seas
Yeah, 7 seas at least!

Now all them jokers kept around
Just like the scarecrows in hometown
Yeah, scarecrows in hometown
From screen to screen they're travelin'
But I'm a wonderlust king

I stay on the run
Let me out
Let me be gone
In the world's beat up road sign
I saw new history of time...
New history of time!!!

Through Siberian woods
Breaking up their neck

Chinese moving in building discoteques

Homemade sex toys and whatnot
Yeah, and why not?
Well at least it's something different
From what they got in every other airport

Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge
sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga!
Simple because I'm not a total gadjo
Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?

I traveled the world
Looking for understanding
Of the times that we live in
Hunting and gathering first hand information
Challenging definitions of sin

I traveled the world
Looking for lovers
Of the ultimate beauty
But never settled in
I'm Wonderlust King!

And presidents
And billionaires
And generals
They'll never know
What I have owned!
What I have owned...
I'm a wonderlust king

"It is perfectly practicable to transmit electrical energy without wires and produce destructive effects at a distance. I have already constructed a wireless transmitter which makes this possible, and have described it in my technical publications, among which I may refer to my patent 1,119,732 recently granted."

"t's 7:17 AM on the morning of June 30, 1908, the exact moment when Nikoli Tesla is testing his "Death Ray" by aiming his beam towards the Arctic Cirle where he hopes Admiral Peary will see a visual display in the sky.

In the small Siberian village of Tunguska, herders of Reindeer are awoken by a huge ball of light, followed by an enormous explosion."

"However, he did hear about the unexplainable event in Tunguska, and was thankful no one was killed, as it was clear to him that his death ray had overshot. He then dismantled his machine, as he felt it was too dangerous to keep it."

"On 31 March, 1980, anomalous EM emissions were recorded thirty minutes before a deep-focus (depth = 480 km) magnitude 7 earthquake 250 km from an observatory near Tokyo. These emissions were widely-separated at 10 Hz and 81 kHz. Other similar emissions were recorded for a magnitude 7.4 earthquake in Iran, 1200 km from the epicentre, at 27 kHz and 1.63 MHz. Other examples of such emissions have also been reported."

I've got two cats myself...

Jedi - Ginger Tom. If I had to describe his personality, I'd say he's just a mean, old fart who gets a shot of youth every once in a while.

Bengal - Bengal (or Siberian)/Persian mix. The absolute last cat you want in 115 degree Vegas. I have cat hair in my brain, I'm sure of it. Oh, and if you touch her, she won't leave you alone; she's a lover and very vocal. That's why I can get rid of her.

He's a great man, this video proves it.
America was founded on Christian principles yet remains a non-theocracy. It's as atheistic as it can be without sending people to Siberian labor camps like they did in the Atheist Union.

hehehehe...I love your thick ignorance.

Very entertaining, thanks for the post. Although a riff can be any repeating motif, rock guitarists tend to think of them more in terms of repeating single note phrases. (Don't you hate know-it-alls.) Stairway to Heaven we would consider more arpeggios than a riff. Still, there's no doubt it's the most instantly recognizable set of arpeggios in rock music history, (although don't play it in a music store....that could get you shot, or, at least, dirty looks and a possible toss out the door.)
I'd like to add a couple more classic riffs,
(1) Sunshine of your Love - Cream
(2) Heartbreaker- Led Zeppelin
(3) Aqualung- Jethro Tull

and a few more obscure
(1) Blood of the Sun - Mountain
(2) Nantucket Sleigh Ride (the bridge riff) - Mountain
(3) Siberian Khatru - Yes

Thanks again for a great post! Classic stuff.

This piece leads well into "An Inconvenient Truth" with its talk of the Siberian oil fields at the end, and the relative insignificance of the collapse of industry compared with the environmental disaster that would follow.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - yay! Thanks and a super-happy Merry Christmas and such to you and your family too.

This truly is the best December 23rd ever!
