Somehow, I missed this part of the earlier Vladimir Putin story: Vladimir Putin shooting a whale with a crossbow while riding in a rubber boat. If it were not for Gulliver's tweet, I would have completely missed this:
Putin held his balance in a rubber boat that was being tossed around in choppy waters off the Kamchatka Peninsula, and eventually hit the whale with a special arrow designed to collect skin samples.
"I hit it at the fourth try!" a beaming Putin, kitted out in black-and-orange waterproof suit and black beanie, yelled to a camera crew from the boat.
If Vladimir Putin rides around in a giant robot, I might end up heading to Moscow to ask him how I can hope to be this awesome.
