The Best of Pravda
NOW THIS IS A SERIOUS ALCOHOL PROBLEM
Probably not the best treatment for alcoholism ever devised. One has to wonder what the husband was imbibing upon to take a step that radical?
THEY CAN'T DO THAT
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THEM

THEY CAN'T DO THAT
Humans to extract billions of tons of precious metals from asteroidsNot only is what they propose in that headline not feasible, the story doesn't say anything about it, just what other celestial bodies are made of. Some day I want to read the style book at Pravda!
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THEM
An investigating experiment connected with a lawsuit filed by Muscovite, Olga Kuznetsova, against McDonald's corporation is to be conducted at one of the company's restaurants in the Moscow region on June 15th. The claimant sued the fast food giant over a cup of hot coffee, which she spilled on herself while she was opening a heavy door of the restaurant on her way outside.In this country you could not get a consult with a lawyer for that kind of money -- but then they say "imitation is the most sincere form of flattery."
"We are going to reproduce the moment, when the claimant was leaving the McDonald's restaurant, holding a tray in her hands. There will be a cup of coffee on the tray during the experiment," lawyer Maksim Dombrovitsky told Interfax.
The lawyer reminded that the hot coffee burnt Olga Kuznetsova's skin, and the woman decided to sue the corporation.
A Moscow court previously adjourned the hearing of Kuznetsova's lawsuit against McDonald's. The claimant evaluated the damage at 100 thousand 400 rubles, which is some $3,500. Olga Kuznetsova suffered first and second degree burns over the spilled coffee. The incident occurred on May 5th, 2004.
