Russia has announced funeral arrangements for Lt. Gen. Mikhail T.
Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK-47 assault rifle.
“Comrade Kalashnikov will be buried in a pit of mud with full military
honors,” said General-Major Saiga Molot, a spokesman for the Russian
army. “After a week, we will exhume his body, clean it off, and put him
back to work. We expect that there shall be no issue with his functions.”

I'm pretty sure this is a joke.

[Clenched fist salute]
All honor to Comrade Kalashnikov!
Vive le Galt!
AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every m*****f****er in the room, accept no substitutes.--
Jackie Brown...
If Kalashnikov zombies are as hardy, reliable, and easy to mass fabricate as the AK-47, the Heartbeat-Challenged Apocalypse is going to be an overwhelming success.
Also, Honky Claus once again failed to gift me an AK-47 for Saturnalia Yule! Curse him, the NeoCapitalist Sweatshop Labor-Profiteer Idol of the Consumerist Lumpenproletariat! {shakes fist}
AK-47.....takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
nsfw--cussing

When asked about his most famous invention Lt. Gen. Mikhail T. Kalashnikov said:
"I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists ... I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work — for example a lawn mower."
I always found that quote amazing.
RIP
I would have liked to hear his answer to the next question, "Well, why
didn't you do that instead?".

Because when his friends--soldiers in WWII--are dying in horrible numbers because their Russian rifles are notably inferior to the German ones, he wouldn't solve the problem by building a f~@%ing improved lawnmower?

It is, chum. Duffelblog is to the military what The Onion is mainstream news: satire, mockery, and shameless piss-takes all round. There is a certain degree of respect to this one, though: however ambivalent he felt about some of the end-uses, you can’t deny the man knew his craft.
