In our litigious times, it’s no surprise that a 52-year-old Serbian ex-President is suing “1 Maj” Pirot over a thong injury.

Hush! Hush! Hush! Come closer to me. Look into my eyes!

I always was a fascinating creature, tender, sensitive, and grateful. I was wise and I was noble.

I only see things when they move.

Here is a film worth seeing:
