| [Bus Insider] Putin was frequently visited by a vast team of doctors, Russian investigative news outlet Proekt said. There has been much speculation about the Russian president's health. Putin bathes in blood extracts from severed deer antlers as a form of alternative medicine, the report says. |

| #22 On hearing one speak -- you remember? -- He shrieked, "Don't be dense! To catch the -ly rhyme I’d do: On hearing one speak — do you remember? — He Shrieked, “Do not be dense!” Or preferably, because of the repeating sibilance: Shrieked, “Don’t be so dense!” Word polishing are me, and you so rarely leave any to do ;-) |

| #20 Lord Melville spilled tea once, at Pemberly. On hearing one speak -- you remember? -- He shrieked, "Don't be dense! Sure, a queen of good sense Should say, sweetly, 'Armenian ambergris!'" |

| #14 Lightning flashes in the sky above Moscow. A murder of crows flaps overhead. In the streets men pull their trench coats desperately about themselves and shiver, while women clutch their children in fear. Spring rain falls in frozen sheets, turning everything grey - though, oddly, this is also what Moscow is like in Summer as well. Deep, deep in the bowels of the Kremlin, below the chambers where Comrade Koba used his wives for target practice and Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria used other men's wives for other things, in a stone room lies a rectangular bathing pool filled with deer antler blood. The Lazarus Pit. Aleksandr Dugin enters, wearing a long, hooded black robe with the symbol of the fourth ideology emblazoned upon its chest in red, the grey of his Rasputin beard clashing with its stoner metal color scheme. He is quickly intersected by a teenage gymnast with a shaved head, also wearing a robe. "The Czar is not done with his treatment yet," she whispers pleadingly. "Wake him." orders Dugin dismissively with a wave of his hand. The gymnast retreats with a bow. There is a clanking of metal as ancient chains begin to turn, raising the naked body of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin from the depths of his artiodactylian bath. Oddly, his is somehow still riding a horse. Which is also naked. Dugin raises his hands into the air and in a desiccated, necromancer voice commands- "DARTH PUTIN... RISE!" ...or so Business Insider would have us believe. |

| #8 I hear Putin kills the deer himself, with his own hands and teeth. You really don't want to know how he drains the blood and grinds the antlers believe me. |

| #7 Come on. How is Putin sure that the blood is legitimately deer antler blood? How much blood can an antler hold? How many deer would you have to kill for their antler blood to fill a bathtub? What if it is some kind of scam blood from a cow that was stirred with a deer antler? Does that fit the criteria? Is their 3rd party labeling on deer antler blood to ensure that it is legitimate? |

| #6 Deer. Antler. Blood. So he rises out of a healing bath like Baron Harkonin, Ras As Ghul, and other such supervillains? Uh huh. Sure. |
