"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Russia is building a Vodka Museum. There will be more than 800 different kinds available for sample.

I wonder why? According to the Centre for Alcohol Policy, each Russian man drinks the equivalent of 200 bottles of vodka annually, one of the world's highest rates of consumption.

Of course, there will be a bar attached to the museum, so that visitors may enjoy an "interactive educational experience", says a spokesman for the Mayor's office.
