The disused military missile has floated into the garden of a traffic policeman in the village of Malougrenevo in southern Siberia, Sibnet news website says. It apparently belongs to someone else in the same village, [B]who had wanted to use it as an underground cesspit.[/B][/Quote] [Quote]Two dogs were found inside the 16ft by 8ft (5m by 2.5m) tube - the villagers have named them Belka and Strelka after two "space dogs" sent into orbit by the Soviet Union in 1960.[/Quote] [url]http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-27764066[/url]

How about instead they turn it into a giant kaleidoscope?

who the hell turns a rocket engine into a cesspit?

Looks like a fuel tank to me.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;45064031]who the hell turns a rocket engine into a cesspit?[/QUOTE] Honestly, i find it pretty badass to have a fucking rocket engine as a cesspit.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;45064031]who the hell turns a rocket engine into a cesspit?[/QUOTE] Shit's like something from the Venture Brothers. There really was an episode where that was a thing. Regardless, folks are prone to make use of the things that they find, things that the everyday folks leave behind. Even if those "everyday folks" were the former Soviet Union.

[QUOTE=OvB;45064056]Looks like a fuel tank to me.[/QUOTE] It's a military missile, it'll be a solid fuel rocket. So it's both.

[QUOTE=OvB;45064056]Looks like a fuel tank to me.[/QUOTE] It could be a segment from a solid rocket booster. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;45064045]poor slavs? "wow, a new place to put my shit!"[/QUOTE] One cesspit to bigger cesspit. Such is life in Russia.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;45064105]It could be a segment from a solid rocket booster. Maybe someone else knows for sure.[/QUOTE] well heres your answer [quote] A deputy chief of the military research and production center "Altai," Nikolai Dochilov, said the missile was likely a relic of a nearby abandoned military facility that used to fill the missiles with fuel, the report said. Missiles of this type were decommissioned in the early 1990s and their remains were mostly destroyed, but several unused sections were left behind and appropriated by local residents, Dochilov said, according to Itar-Tass.

Is this one of [i]those people[/i] who have yards full of junk but there's shit you can see over the fence you can't comprehend how the fuck they got it?

How the fuck do you move that thing in the first place, I know its empty but Russian roads are shit and you dont just appropriate something as big as that. Bet the mafia moved it to scrap instead and forgot or gave up on it

Other than selling it for scrap, making a cesspit out of it sounds like a good idea to me. I'm sure there are other creative ways to use it.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;45064031]who the hell turns a rocket engine into a cesspit?[/QUOTE] I think the more important question is why the hell were 2 dogs in it?

Probably climbed in if there was an opening.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;45064031]who the hell turns a rocket engine into a cesspit?[/QUOTE] From the image, it doesn't even look like a rocket engine, and it looks perfect for such a task, rocket engines are hard strong things, perfect for containing all the shit inside
