Sooo, Was It Good For You??

A 37 years old man was arrested last Saturday (3/20) after he was caught watching a pornographic movie while driving in a highway in New York. According with the police, Michael Mangano was patrolling the area when he noticed a driver, identified as Gerald L. Williams, watching a porn movie. He was arrested for exhibiting offensive sexual material in public

What about this guy? He was arrested in Ames, Iowa for robbing a church and watching pornographic movies inside the temple. Charles E. Bentley, 55 years old, took a few items during the morning and decided to crash the attic, where he enjoyed a very pleasant evening having a date with himself. He was arrested the next morning when leaving the church.

Changing the subject a little, Marty Wombacher, a 51 year-old North American, is trying to visit 365 bars in 365 days in New York. As of March 23 he has visited 72 bars already. He has also created a blog in order to update everyone about his journey. So far his favorite bar is “Winnie’s” in Chinatown. Apparently it has a lot of interesting people.

Clearly this wedding was meant to work out!! The North American Roger Adler, 42 years old, is suing his ex-fiancĂ© in the Supreme Court in Manhattan asking her to give back his $58,000. He says she has to since their relationship is over. He proposed to her after 6 weeks of dating and gave the ring to celebrate the union. Too bad the “union” was over after 12 days. He is a little stupid though. Lastly, he also says this was not the first time she broke up with him after receiving a valuable gift. I rest my case. He is dumb.

Let us know what you think!

Robbers Call Before They Come

People do a lot stupid things. Sometimes you just have to step back and ask yourself, "Hey, is this really a good idea?" Apparently this never crossed the mind of Albert Bailey. Since he's 27, he's going to get a much worse sentence than his 16-year-old accomplice. His previous record doesn't help much either.

Their planned
bank robbery included calling the bank to let them know that they were going to rob them. Of course, the teller phoned the police after hanging up and the bank was on lock down. Since one of the two masterminds were already in the bank, he took some money and politely asked to be released. Upon leaving the bank the thief encountered an officer, and tried to make a run towards the getaway car his friend was driving. Shockingly enough, the two were captured and arrested.

Surf a wave for 40 minutes?


This is possible at river tides such as in the Amazon Basin. Known as Pororoca, these tidal waves of six meters high and speeds of 30 kilometers per hour can be surfed by highly skilled surfers. This phenomenon happens due to the connection of the sea with the river at certain moon phases and is common during equinoxes.

Check you this awesome video of pororoca surfing. The coming of the Pororoca can be anticipated as a tremendous noise coming from the river can be heard as early as two hours in advance followed by an unusual silence. This is a sign known to the region natives that is time to get away from the river and search for safe grounds. To the adventurous surfers it is time to get their surfboards and get ready for the adrenaline.

The Pororoca has become a touristic attraction to the region as the
Brazilian National Pororoca Surfing Championship is now held every year. Pororoca surfers faces challenges as choosing a not so tall wave to catch as it increases their chances to surf longer. Other unusual challenges that only Pororoca surfers face are adjusting to the river's curves, avoiding piranhas, alligators, and leopards. That is some extreme surfing!!!

From beauty pageant to ugly lawsuit?

I was going to check my email this morning but before I signed on I got caught by an interesting headline. It was “Notorious Reality TV “Brat” sues ABC for $100 million”, the girl in the picture seemed very familiar, I knew I had seen her on TV…..right! on Wife Swap!

This episode showed a family that was obsessed with beauty pageants and outside appearance and a second family who believed in feminism….As you can see, a recipe for disaster!....I guess that this 15 year old girl is suing ABC for $100 million dollars because she thinks the show focused too much on her to make her look bad instead of focusing more on the moms experience.. I think you should all watch the episode and make your own opinion about this….personally this family is way too shallow and even do their daughter’s homework for her! Click on the link above to read the article….

This show is really funny, but at the same time you can learn and reflect on your lifestyle from what you see….You can either say thank God I am not like that or maybe I can try that at home….I really recommend people to check this show up at ABC.COM…..you can read and watch clips on the families that already participated…..

On Anderson Coopers 360 blog you can see the requirements and application for Wife Swap….Some questions are really funny…. No wonder strange families are picked! Who knows maybe you want to participate! Click on the link to read the application

Finally, I found this parenting blog on the New York Times called the "Motherlode"… parents post their experiences and issues of parenting their children…. I am sure many parents can find this site helpful and share their experiences with other parents who might be going through the same stuff…..

No one said being a parent would be easy right?!

Hopefully our kids don’t turn out like the blonde girl on wife swap!

Want to know how you might have looked as a caveman or cavewoman?

I was on MSNBC.COM and found myself with an article titled: “Smithsonian traces saga of human origins: Museum of Natural History’s exhibit features hundreds of fossils”. As I kept reading I found out that the Museum of Natural History in Washington is displaying fossils that date back to 3.2 million years ago. Read the article and find out their new feature will make you look like a Homo sapiens!

Speaking of origins and our ancestors more commonly known as cavemen and cavewomen, what are your opinions on evolution? This is a tough topic to talk about because people often tend to link science with religion…. On “Evolution Blog” you can read and give your own points of view on this topic… this blog is really good, the author tends to post based on books that he reads and then gives his personal opinion leading to interesting posts from followers…..

This whole evolution thing brought me to think of archeology, and how its discoveries throughout time have been really significant in understanding our origins….on “Archeology in Europe” blog you can find the latest news on expedition discoveries in Europe…one that caught my attention was the discovery of 51 decapitated Viking fossils found in Europe…..go in and watch the video!

Also if you would like additional information on the 51 Vikings found, click on National Geographic.com and it will take straight to this article……

As Jim Bishop said “Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been.”

The Best Excuse To Put Breast Implants: It saves lives.

An American woman from California had her life saved by her breast implants. Lydia Carranza, a receptionist, was at work when a man with a semiautomatic gun came in and shot her. The bullet hit her chest, but it didn't reach her heart because of her implants.

Similar story happened to Samantha Lynn Frazier, 35 years old. She said she was shot when she entered a bar in Atlantic City, but her “love handles” stopped the bullet. She felt something hurting on her left side, but when she put her hand on it, she felt blood. The shooter was a police man, as they were trying to arrest another man.

But nothing seems weirder than this. Maria Alaimo, from New York, won $3.5 Million from a lawsuit after a breast implant surgery left her with “four (4) breasts”. The surgery happened in 2003, and as she says, her husband left her in 2004.

Lastly, Trista Joy Lathern was arrested in Texas after she lied saying she had breast cancer and put silicone with the money some people gave her for the treatment. Friends of her gave her S10,000 in donation after she announced she had cancer.

Is Michelle Obama Stronger than McDonald's?

The first lady promotes better eating habits and exercise routine to promote the well being of children. Mrs. Obama launches a campaign to create a greater awareness among parents, schools, food makers, and governments. Click here to learn more about her initiatives.



Mrs. Obama ought to speak laughter as big corporations like McDonald's are not listening to her pleas. While Michelle Obama emphasizes healthy eating habits McDonald's scavenges for profits. McDonald's once more made it clear that on the fight for health, they are targeting the health of the pockets of their shareholders. The company announced it will reduce soft-drink prices to drive in more sales. As stated on TopStocks "[f]orget about worries about soft-drinks and obesity. Sell a product at a low enough price and the masses will come."
