Russian folk tale

[edit]

This episode reads like it was inspired by a very old Russian folk tale in which a young man is dared to prove his manhood and thus win a girl by driving a sword into the ground in front of a statue in a cemetery. As it is Russia, it is of course very cold and snowy. The sword goes through the mans coat and he freezes to death. The girl that he wanted to attract was the person to discover him there as she must pass through the cemetery everyday on her way to work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.47.47.189 (talk) 16:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
