Buenos Aires, yesterday.
Argentinian legislator Graciela Camano has just risen from her chair to confront her colleague, Carlos Kunkel during a session of the Upper House’s constitutional affairs commission. Seconds out, round one:

The incident was broadcast live on two television news channels.

Pushkar and his old master Pyara Singh offer dentures, extractions and other surgeries on the sidewalk in front of the train station at Jaipur in North East India. Filmmaker Falk Peplinski’s somewhat ironic short film The Dentist Of Jaipur enjoyed huge success at film festivals in 2006 and 2007.
All procedures cost the equivalent of €1.50 and the lads have no time for your squeamish nonsense.
