How one Russian got more than he bargained for when he bought some wooden crates for firewood.
An article on the BBC website has brought a whole new meaning to the words “fire” wood. An inhabitant of the Russian village of Udmurtia bought some crates with the aim of using them for firewood but discovered that, with this innocent purchase he had also gained his own armoury! Some of the crates contained Kalashnikov rifles and parts!!

I’ve been reading an article on inventions that have changed the way we eat and, in researching further, have come arcoss some interesting facts. Obviously fire, wood made into bowls and spoons, spears, bows and arrows and, from there, the development of cross bows through to guns have all helped to make our lives easier. Likewise the use of flint for knives and the progression into the world of metals for utensils.
