King Juan Carlos I and Francisco Franco

Corinnavirus

Don Juan Carlos has been one of the best kings in the history of Spain.

He also thwarted the coup d’état in 1981. He ...

The Apocalyptic Sneeze

Since Marco Polo, Italy has always been the first European recipient of Chinese products. It happened with la pasta and today it happens with coronavirus. Currently the entire country is undergoing a kind of quarantine, which is better dealt with in Naples than in Milan. The upside is you can walk ...

From the Scimitar to the Refugee

The Aphrodisiac Spark

There is an Austrian legend that deals with a man who, according to his daily custom, goes to the Neugröschl restaurant in Vienna and has a goulash lunch. As soon as he returns home he goes to bed twice with his wife and thrice with his sister-in-law, rapes the maid, and is arrested just before ...

Dry January, or Not

I am glad to announce that the hysterical campaign orchestrated by abstemious Britons (rara avis) has been a complete failure in France. The new salvation army infiltrated government health organizations intending to prove to the Gauls the benefits of surviving the month of January without tasting ...
