For the second time, Max did a small TV presenting job for the German channel ZDF. This time it was at the famous London tourist attraction Madame Tussauds.
Hours after their nations had declared an uneasy truce in the disputed border region, Russia and Georgia fought a battle in bikinis in Beijing. Meanwhile, President Bush spanks a US Olympic beach volleyball player.
