Alien head found in Croatian graveyard…
 
An 'alien head', which was smelling of male perfume, was found in a graveyard in Croatia.

These wise men always suffer from delusions that the MNCs are waiting in the wings to come to this country in droves and plunder the country a la the British India Company.)
