Much ado has been made of Vladimir Putin’s unusual walk where his right hand remains stiff but left arm swings freely. Rumors say he had an in-utero stroke to a childhood bout of polio, with even statements that it may be a sign of the early onset of Parkinson’s disease.

Dutch neurologists investigating the matter state that the true answer is due to training he received while he was in the KGB. Operatives were instructed to keep their weapon in their pockets so that they could draw their weapon in their right hand as quickly as possible when encountering  a foe.

Then again, he might just be immortal.
