I have discovered a fellow housemate who has the same love of retelling the many morbid deaths of Rasputin. We have as a team retold it possibly twice before tonight. We discovered that one of our housemates had not yet heard the story, so we gleefully retold it again (I haven't yet had the courage to mention about the...appendage...thing...anyway

It's after 2AM NZ time - and I refuse to Google - until tomorrow... :) (Err - later today, I guess I mean.)

Googling about Rasputin's death is just too much fun. Each source has a different story, all of them glorious and wonderful.

I read the Wikipedia one first, with only the sitting up while burning being a really good bit. But yeah, most everything about Rasputin is wonderfully over-the-top. An early sex-guru.

Damn. I just wasted a half hour looking at google images of Rasputin's penis!

[stillcarl]

You did?! And, err, this is what I'll find if I look into Rasputin's death...?

And, half ........ an ........ hour......................................?

Hm, yes, and apparently it's 'better' than Napoleon's. I'm not sure what that means, but it's what all the Russians say.

[jolly_oddness]

It's far more exciting than the real story :)

I THINK I PREFER OUR VERSION OF HISTORY!!!

"For a full 5 minutes we had my housemate convinced that Rasputin came back in world war II."

That's epic. I'm immagining him as having a flickering red eye - Terminator style.
