Weird stuff since we've been here

The day we flew in, four people were killed in lightning strikes within the city limits. (*¡¡Scary!!*)

Then, a few days ago, a woman was acting strangely, then hurled herself out of a 23-story window at the Pan American hotel right on 9 de Julio Boulevard. Crazily enough, a taxi parked below broke her fall, and she survived.
(The cab driver had gotten out of the cab to watch her-- I guess she was putting on quite a show. Lucky for him, he was a lookie-loo.)

When visiting Turkey, the Argentine president, Christina Ferdandez de Kirchner (with the uber-cool, Kennedyesque newspaper moniker "CFK") told the Turkish businessmen assembled there: "We do not want that you see Argentina only as a cow."
Oh, no mami-- we don't!!
