Soviet Shuttle Buran Found In a Junk Heap 226
gruenz noted the somewhat sad photo slideshow showing what appears to be the Soviet Space Shuttle Buran, lying in a Moscow suburb junk heap. Of course I don't read Russian, so it might also be a carnival ride rusting.

I'm Mikhael Afrcanvsky. I'm for the former administrator of the Russian Space Agency. I have in my possession in the outskirts of Moscow a fully functional Buran spaceship. I'm able to sell it for 419 MILLION DOLLARS for foregin investors. Unfortunately, due to my country currency crises I have currently no money. A common friend refered you as being an honest and hardworking person. If you're willing to help me covering initial transaction costs and shipping, I'll glad share with you 10% of the amount received from the investors: no less than FORTY MILLION DOLLARS.
Yours,
Mikhael Afrcanvsky.

For example if you drive around Sofia on the ring road there is a fighter jet in a reasonably good condition (much better than the Buran on the picture) parked in one of the laybuys. It is nowdays prime location on the ring road for "truck stop and servicing" by practicioners of the oldest human profession.
Great, I discover this after I spent all of my time in Burgas!
