* The Prime Minister of Russia, Vlad Putin is 57 today. This is only five years short of the average life expectancy of Russian men.
* He has two daughters, at least one of whom is
hot.
* A former KGB employee, he is a
judo expert and has co-authored a book on the sport.
* His other favourite activities are
shirt-optional.
* He is an
awesome singer.
* It is both claimed and disputed that he once
met President Reagan and many years later, attended a concert by an ABBA tribute band.
* Pissed off about the South
Ossetia war, Georgia entered a
brilliant song about him in this year's
Eurovision Song Contest. But having made the finals, which were to be held in Moscow, the Georgians withdrew at the last minute.
* Sales of Putin merchandise are frankly,
disappointing but if you
insist...
* Because he's not American, Vladimir can pretty much get away with
mysterious deaths and
selling arms to totalitarian states without condemnation.
*
This is what he looks like in make-up.

The Oz ABBA tribute band, 'Bjorn Again', huh?
Putin on the Ritz?
