Noticed: Italians have a reputation for cultivating an endless appetite for food and drink. But there is less and less beef on the domestic menu.
Noteworthy: Italians have a reputation for taking great pleasure in eating and drinking. Yet beef is becoming less and less common on their home menus. No wonder—for Italians, their well-being is even more important than food.

War of the Roses
By Christoph Dill
January hole in the head! With what does the unimaginative columnist address the illustrious readers? Uranium ammunition, Palestine conflict...how about something stupid for the people? I look at the TV. It makes me feel sorry for him. And that with someone I never liked. First he beat everyone, then he was in, now he's in the shit. Poor Boris. Bad Babs.
It's a pity that the nation-bonding sex drive, which despite Teutonic testosterone has known quite un-German color, must fail in the face of reality.
Fortunately, Boris is not alone! The original War of the Roses, a war of the clans and not of the genders, cost the national economy millions as early as the 15th century. The houses of Lancaster and York in England fought each other to the death. Why do you think? For the throne!
In Danny De Vito's "War of the Roses," Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner reach for the chandelier in a tussle over home and self-esteem, plunging to their deaths for the sake of the audience's tearjerkers.
In the Franco-German War of the Roses, launched in May 1999, France Télécom wants to sue Deutsche Telekom for several billion euros because the latter wants to cheat with the Italos without asking its partner for permission. Don't we ever learn from history?
There are three approaches.
Approach 1: The state makes it difficult to marry - not to divorce.
Approach 2: Addiction prevention agencies recognize that drug problems are statistically insignificant compared to men's female addiction.
Approach 3: We advocate the manipulated quantum leap in evolution. No problem! The difference between chimpanzees and humans is only a paltry 1.5 percent (this relationship is thus greater than that between horse and zebra). So it should be easy for genetic engineers to eradicate this small difference.
