caddyman | The Volga Flows Slowly in the Moonlight...

With the news today that the US are trading the ten captured Russian spies for six or so western spies (ah, Cold War flashback), I have finally been moved to post an observation I made when I first saw the photos of Anna Chapman, the Russian spy most visible in the news media (surely not just because she’s a pretty laydee...?).

It took me a while to work out who she reminded me of: the hair colour and all was highly reminiscent of Karen Gillan, but I had to strike around in my memory for the other face. Eventually it came to me: Jewel Staite. Except that she doesn’t look like either of them; rather she looks like a merging of both actresses.

Proof then, that Mother Russia is far more advanced in the splicing of genes and creating semi clones than we are in the west. Of course, we haven’t seen the returning western spies yet.
