Well, I’ve just published a russian translation of a tutorial on GIMP, originally in German, how to draw an exploding planet. The original was published middle August this year at gimpusers.de.
And here is the fun: about a month ago some weird russian guy started a web-site where he claims that a comet is going to crash into Germany end of October this year. He doesn’t supply any facts of course, just some clearly homemade fake video of the comet.
Now the spicy part of the story: the gradient used in the tutorial is shipped with GIMP by default and its name is…. drumroll… “German flag smooth”! I think, God has an outstanding sense of humor
