Not Russian there!

Apparently Novosibirsk in Russia has no law about keeping deceased friends in warehouse freezers. When I told Sooz this, she said "No, we're not moving to Russia".
An Ananovan report tells about a Chinese man who, rather than get caught up in local bureaucracy and red tape, decided to store his friend's body rather than turn him over to the officials when he died of natural causes two years ago. Instead he popped him in the freezer at his warehouse - and that's where he can keep him - so say the authorities after they found the corpse during a routine health and safety check at the warehouse. (How often do routine health and safety checks happen in Russia do you think?)
