Yesterday was the Day Before Lenin's Birthday, which makes today...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR VLADIMIR ILYICH ULYANOV BETTER KNOWN TO THE WORLD AS LENIN


Say, in celebration of Ol' Beardy, let's look at little-known-Lenin-fact #1917: Lenin was killed by an alien.

But luckily, for the rest of his career he was impersonated by a shape-hanging alien princess.


It's just like they always say: if you say you want a revolution, you need Lennon Lenin!


So anyway: happy birthday to Lenin, The Second-to-Last Man on Earth!
