Dr_Woland --

Have you ever checked www.anekdot.ru? There are plenty of Russian short stories, jokes, etc. Sometimes they seem a bit rude to me, but sometimes you can find true treasures of Russian language.

Here's a joke you've never heard before unless you are a biochemistry professor at the medical school:
"Professor: Chto takoe 'glikogen'? (a eto jivotnyi analog krahmala)
Student: 'gli', znachit, 'ckleivat'', a 'kogen',.. ne znaju!"

Now, children it's time for recess, please roll up your sleeves.
