Conflict resolution in Eastern Europe

And we're supposed to be worried about terrorism?!

Roland forwarded the following a few days back:

This article appeared in a major Sydney newspaper a couple of weeks ago.

We live in dangerous times my friends.

Tu imi pare ca o bacanta, ce-a luat cu-nselaciune
De pe-o frunte de fecioara mirtul verde de martir,
O fecioar-a carei suflet era sant ca rugaciunea,
Pe cand inima bacantei e spasmodic, lung delir.
- Eminescu, "Venere si Madona"

And the article, since you can't trust those pesky newspapers to keep them up:

Wife goes nuts
September 17, 2004

A Romanian man had his testicles ripped off by his wife because she believed he
was having an affair.

Luckily for Aurica Marinescu, 50, surgeons were able to reattach them during a
10-hour operation.

"I wouldn't have said she was a strong woman, but she was furious - and she
seemed to have superhuman strength in her anger," Marinescu said.

"The pain was incredible."

FYI, Roland now has a Romanian girlfriend....
