2.Trust the turnstiles

Non-synthetic and thick socks need every soldier-made stitching, or they will kokoritsa and feet to bloody blisters to fill folds. Tried Russian army socks, I don't live in the stone age. So, the experiments failed. It sorts the us Marines, who in helicopters so strive to move the jeep, they can afford to indulge in the toes". This is the opinion of the army leadership. But really one useful skill from the army, each of us can bring. In women, for example, the ability to instantly make my socks two handkerchiefs makes an indelible impression.

11. Seeds

 

How we managed to enter the rank of the ancient national tradition of eating sunflower seeds, which were brought to us two hundred years ago — a mystery. However, the plant is so absorbed in our culture that even trained historians no-no and wrong.

12. Vocative

 

He was in many Indo-European languages, but then many degenerated. And we carefully saved it. The truth, slightly altered.

13. old new year

 

Europe switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in the late sixteenth century, and Russia — only in the early twentieth. However, the Orthodox Church refused to participate in this disgrace. Nothing special here was not (in the end, all the branches of Orthodoxy celebrates Christmas on January 7), but we have something else happened and atheistic revolution, which threw Christmas to the dustbin of history, and the most important holiday of the year did it, and the hanging for the door of the New year, latched on to him all the former Christmas attributes of the type of trees, the burning of stars and the gifts of the Magi. As a result, in people's memory has turned out a hodgepodge, like a salad, and we became the owners of riches — as many as three festive weeks, beginning on Christmas and ending with a slightly sad holiday Old New year, the name of which is from the category of things impossible, but existing.

Only we have the address begins with the country, then go to city, street, house, and, finally, the combination of letters that you used to consider their personal callsigns. Of the total, so to speak, in particular. In all other countries, you first notifies the postal services that you need, John Smith, and then specify the coordinates of the place where John Smith is usually acquired.

16. Activated carbon

 

Coal has absorbent properties and at the same time lowers the acidity of the environment — just what the doctor ordered. So treated "from the stomach" all over them. But hypocritically minded doctors and pharmacists abroad every way camouflage the original component, tucking in coal all sorts of supplements and exposing its various metamorphoses (in life never guess from what made this white pill or pink capsule). And only we are honest sellers packaged in pharmaceutical packaging black most fearsome tablets, soiling her mouth and fingers. But it helps!

18. Coloring Easter eggs with onion peel

 

Of course, it's all on the line. Russian peasant usually did not have sufficient funds to gold leaf and honey colors, so that the poor were painting the eggs that you had on hand — onion shelupashkami. Sometimes even eggs thread wrapped to a fun pattern turned out. But how should be boiled in a solution of onion, the egg turned out much tastier than usual, especially if the shell is slightly cracked.

19. Cup holder

 

In a time when glass was worth outrageously expensive coasters were ubiquitous — as armor and support for fragile expensive glass. When the glass was cost a ridiculous amount of pension and pfennings, the coasters said goodbye to humanity, boarded a ship and sailed to the beautiful songs in fairyland. It happened everywhere, except for one big-very big country. The people there had a long ride on the trains. But, as you know, like tea, especially in a country of which we speak, the tea party has become a national tradition. And here it turned out that without cupholders shivering in the train can not do: frustrating when you scalded with boiling water.

20. Buckwheat

 

Although the root of the "Greek" makes the suspect in this mess Greek spy, it is the most that neither is ours. Ancient evidence of use of buckwheat is for human food found only in one place, in the Altai. There fossilized grains of buckwheat in the tombs and in the Parking lots is full. Apparently, from the Altai buckwheat spread across Asia — but without much success. Only Japanese and Chinese partially preserved it in their diet by adding pounded the buckwheat into flour, and most people never really ate it. Nutritionists believe: the whole point is that buckwheat should be used from childhood, otherwise a grown man, for the first time trying buckwheat, will feel the bitterness and chemical taste. So, apart from us, nobody really does not eat and can not eat. Although buckwheat is sold in Europe and the United States in all stores "biological" food, but no tears for these bags can not watch. Buckwheat them rare: green, crushed, and good-for-nothing.

21. Doors that open inward

 

The legend that in the USSR, apartment doors open inward, the KGB was easier to beat them during the arrest — a legend. Doors KGB men opened themselves — quietly and resignedly. And their location — the usual Northern regions thing. Where a night of snow a couple of feet on the porch piles, very quickly understand how to hang the door when going out of the house until spring.

Marinade — even drown. Simple cucumber brine you will not find anywhere, ever. Only here. It is unclear why more is not adjusted exports, do not rush tanks, not laid rassoloprovody.

24. Zelenka

 

Perhaps, in our country there is no home where there was not even one vial of green fodder. Magical cure for only: anoint and all will be well. From "domodedova" and "Sheremetyevo" daily fly hundreds of miracle bubbles. They fly to distant lands, to the wild people who do not know what the green paint. Western doctors have learned to distinguish when examinations of Russian children by a mysterious green spots on the body. And once learned — raised the cry, because the kids were plastered with a mixture which is not something that the cast, but from a distance considered unsafe. Solid teratogens with carcinogens. Since then, all sorts of malicious Western fee and then require the production of green fodder ban. But in a country which is still in the textbooks on obstetrics recommended to lubricate zelenkoj nipples of breastfeeding mothers (against cracks), these proposals can be regarded as an extreme blasphemy and even somewhat disgusting. Because this is an attack on the foundations.

25. Cedar nut

The most useful nuts. So they can get on the table of every citizen of the country, the country must have many thousands of square kilometers of taiga. And industrial method pine nuts do not grow up. Either they will have to sell at a price of indecency: too much space is required cedar to give birth fifty years later the first dozen modest cones.
