I had been wondering why Colbert is taking off the rest of the week. Now I'm seeing pictures of him in St. Petersburg, Russia. That should be interesting.

Well, only one of them has ever appeared on QI. Here's a link if anyone is interested: http://www.dailymotion.com/…

I'm going to go ahead and say a "fuck you" to the shooter.
