Soviet Star In Russia Turned It Into Patrick the Star!

While most former Soviet Republics destroy Soviet-era monuments, someone in Voronezh came up with an even better idea. They turned the star of one tower building into Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants!
Unfortunately, Voronezh police were not so happy about that. It is estimated that the restoration works may cost the city up to $ 1,500. Whoever did that could face up to 15 days in detention (if they find them). I think it's fun! soviet-star-patrick-spongebob-voronez-russia-5828bf83cf82f-jpeg__880While most former Soviet Republics destroy Soviet-era monuments, someone in Voronezh came up with an even better idea.

The Twin Baby Time Paradox

Samuel was born first, but his twin brother Ronan is older. How is that possible? Emily and Seth Peterson of West Barnstable, Massachusetts welcomed their sons in the early morning hours of Nov. 6.  The first to arrive was Samuel at 1:39am. 5lbs 13 ounces.  Next to come was Ronan, 5lbs 14 ounces, just 31 minutes later. Only by then daylight savings had kicked in and what was 2:10 am was now 1:10 am. Follow? This means that on paper, aka the birth certificate, Ronan will be 29 minutes earlier than his brother Samuel.  When in reality, technically, by all accounts, Samuel is 31 minutes earlier than Ronan.  Wrap your brain around that! twins-older-than-each-other-daylight-savings-time-raw-58289e92df95f__880Samuel was born first, but his twin brother Ronan is older.
