Tales From the Vault: Woman is Married to Berlin Wall


Tales From the Vault: Woman is Married to Berlin Wall


A woman with a fetish for inanimate objects says she has been married to the Berlin Wall since 1979. Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, whose surname means Berlin Wall in German, claims she fell in love with the concrete structure when she first saw it on television at the age of seven. She then began collecting pictures of "him" and saving up for visits, on the sixth of which they tied the knot before a handful of guests. 

While she remains a virgin with humans, she insists that she has a full, loving relationship with the wall. "I find long, slim things in horizontal lines very sexy", she says. "The Great Wall of China's attractive, but he's too thick - my husband is sexier."Thus she was mortified when most of the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989. "What they did was awful," she complains. "They mutilated my husband."

With her husband in pieces, she was so distressed that she has been unable to return to Berlin from her home in Liden, Northern Sweden, and instead is said to have shifted her affections to a nearby garden fence.

Pepsi Submarines


Pepsi once owned one of the largest submarine fleets in the world!

In 1990, Pepsi and the Soviet Union made one of the most famous and interesting trades ever. In exchange for Pepsi products, the Soviets gave Pepsi Stolinchnaya Vodka and a ship fleet consisting of 10 commercial ships, 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer!

The agreement reportedly was worth $3 billion, and it allowed Pepsi to expand their bottling network in the Soviet Union and it also helped the Russian Vodka market expand in the US.

In case you were wondering, Pepsi was not prepping for an attack. The ships were unusable and they were sold for scrap as a way to pay for shipping the Pepsi syrups to the Soviet Union.
