Time	Event
1:51a	RIP: Massimo Freccia He was one of the last men to fight a duel. Staying on a Mediterranean island in 1934, he was attacked by a rival for the attentions of a woman. Freccia (illegally) challenged his assailant to a duel. The weapon chosen was swords - his opponent was a cavalry officer, but Freccia had merely had fencing lessons as a boy and went for a "crash course" at a fencing school in Naples in the week before the encounter. They met at 5 a.m. and Freccia's sword pierced his rival's right arm. After 15 minutes of medical treatment, defeat was admitted. (1 Comment | Comment on this)
2:32a	Нам тут из зала подсказывают "Единственное, на что мы рассчитываем, что в окружении господина Ющенко не будет людей, которые выстраивают свои политические амбиции на антироссийских, на сионистских (оговорка – антисемитских) лозунгах и так далее" Президент России Подходит. А то никакого смысла не было. (3 Comments | Comment on this)
