Recap of this week's posts by D.Buzz
For the week ending on : (9/5/2021) | Vol.63
What's buzzing, friends!
Who here knows the story of the Soviet submarine U-359? It is an interesting tale and one that proves that sometimes, you have to ask for what you want.
Our story this week starts in The Land of the Danes, Denmark. The country that brought the world insulin, Lego blocks, the loudspeaker, and even Google Maps. It is a fascinating land filled with imaginative people indeed.
One day in 1991, a youth group in Kolding, Denmark that went by the name "The Rolling Gallery", drafted a letter and sent it to the last leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev.
In this letter, that youth group asked for a submarine. One would imagine that would be an absurd request that wouldn't make it off the receptionist desk. However, we can further only imagine that Gorbachev, upon receiving this letter, must've been having a particularly nice day as, when he opened that letter, he said yes.
Gorbachev said yes to sending a youth group in Denmark a submarine. Let that sink in for moment. #hrhmmmm
It did take about three years for the submarine to arrive, and had a cost of $110,000-ish. However the youth group did receive a circa 1953, Whiskey-class Soviet submarine, the U-359. WOW.
There's a lot more to the story, and a bitter end... You could read the rest of the tale on the Wikipedia page right HERE. The moral of the story is, don't be afraid to ask for what you want, as you never know, you may just get it.
We would like to have a submarine too, but if we can't get a submarine, we would be happy if you just took a read of this week’s updates for D.Buzz below. :D
Will have one ice cold sub please.
