from a plane at 2438 metres (8000 feet) with his wing folded.

The Italian Man who Went to Malta


This is hilarious. Practice good English that english speaking people can understand you. Or better yet, always bring a pen and paper or ask for one.

Malta is actually a very beautiful city. I want to have a romantic date there.

Dapat ba talagang kaawaan ang mga Mahihirap?

Karamihan sa atin, alam ang mga crisis ng ating bansa tulad ng mataas na bilihin, shortage sa bigas at marami pang iba.. Malimit pa natin makita sa news na mga kapwa natin mga pinoy eh nagrereklamo dahil sa hirap ng buhay dahil nga sa mahal ng bilihin, kaya yung iba sa atin eh para bang naaawa sa ating mga kababayan na kapus palad.. pero pagtaas ba talaga ng presyo ng bilihin ang sanhi ng paghihirap nila?? para sa akin HINDE lang dahil dun... kaya sila naghihirap dahil rin sa kanila, di nyo ba napupuna na yung malimit na nagrereklamo na mahirap ang buhay nila eh hinde bumababa sa 5 ang anak?

We're going on three weeks since the Texas Rangers raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Texas on the pretext of child abuse, polygamy, physical violence and rape.

So far, though, even though more than 400 children were seized from parents, precious little evidence of the crimes has been made public.

Now suppose this raid had not been on a compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but instead on your average public school.

At 7'4" and 500 pounds, Andre the Giant could have been famous for his size alone. His drive, talent and ambition, however, proved to be as big as Andre himself, and the wrestler became legendary for his achievements in and out of the ring.

Are you really tall? You may have acromegaly.

I am not really sure but in the last picture (bottom) she was just around her 20's.

What is acromegaly?
Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results from too much growth hormone (GH) in the body. The pituitary, a small gland in the brain, makes GH. In acromegaly, the pituitary produces excessive amounts of GH. Usually the excess GH comes from benign, or noncancerous, tumors on the pituitary. These benign tumors are called adenomas.
