Quote of the week (week 36)

Well technically...

"I don't know what the milk will be like after this."

...was last week's quote, from a Russian Federal Drugs Control Service spokeswoman, referring to how agents accidentally burned a field of crop destined for the farmer's cows. They mistakenly thought it was marijuana but on finding they'd torched a perfectly decent meal for his dairy herd, they re-imbursed him with 40 tons of confiscated marijuana crop... Full story here.

So yeah, that would have been last week's quote.

This week's, however, comes from the world's no 9 female tennis seed, the Russian Nadia Petrova, who said of Maria Sharapova, in reference to her Florida upbringing;

"Her father speaks half-English, half-Russian to her, I was kind of shocked by that because if you're born in Russia, why is he speaking English to her?"

WTF? I really don't know what to say about that! Should my parents have been speaking gallic to me? Should an old buddy of mine, English through and through apart from being born in Hong Kong, have his father speak Cantonese to him? Oh wait! If *I* am born in Russia why is *he* speaking to *her* in English? Hold on, why is Nadia Petrova speaking English, she's Russian?

Oh I don't funking know! Stupid bitch!!! She may be good at tennis but that's obviously to the detriment of her brain functions!
