DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?  THEY’RE REAL, YOU KNOW…......YOU CAN SEE THEM!

You have to go where it’s REALLY COLD, so they don’t deteriorate over time…...we’re speaking, of course, of the abandoned structures left behind over the years, as courageous human beings explored the least known continent on earth…..

WHAT IS IT WITH CELEBRITIES and the MURDERING CHE GUEVARA?

I mean, if Che had had his way, they’d have all been lined up against the wall and shot!

Gisele Bundchen wears him on the runway, Johnny Depp wears him around his neck, and Benicio Del Toro becomes him in the new, highly acclaimed, two-part epic film from Steven Soderbergh, Che. Ernesto “Che” Guevara, the revolutionary who helped found communist Cuba, is the celebrity that celebrities adore. And be it Madonna, Rage Against the Machine, or Jay-Z, musicians really dig Che.

It’s something that baffles Cuban jazz legend Paquito D’Rivera. “Che hated artists, so how is it possible that artists still today support the image of Che Guevara?” Turns out the rebellious icon that emblazons countless T-shirts actually enforced aesthetic and political conformity. D’Rivera explains that Che and other Cuban authorities sought to ban rock and roll and jazz.

“ORDINARY HERO”?  I DIDN’T BELIEVE IN SUCH A THING, UNTIL I SAW DONG YUN YOON…...

Dong Yun Yoon is the naturalized American from Korea who LOST HIS FAMILY when a military jet crashed into his neighborhood in San Diego.

THIS is what courage looks like…..this is how a Christian meets tragedy.

Sorry….can’t stop weeping.  I pray that I might react similarly if (God forbid) I was struck with such a horrendous loss.  His baby was my birthday twin!

Please pray for this dear brother in Christ…..

Inventor Le Trung, 33, created Aiko, said to be “in her 20s” with a stunning 32, 23, 33 figure, shiny hair and delicate features.

She even remembers his favourite drink and does simple cleaning and household tasks.

“Fem-bot” Aiko, who has cost £14,000 to build so far, is a whizz at maths and even does Le’s accounts.

Le, a scientific genius from Brampton in Ontario, Canada, said he never had time to find a real partner so he designed one using the latest technology.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED PEOPLE RIPS OFF SENIORS…..

Arthur Laupus joined AARP because he thought the nonprofit senior-citizen-advocacy group would make his retirement years easier. He signed up for an auto insurance policy endorsed by AARP, believing the advertising that said he would save money….When Laupus…compared his car insurance rate with a dozen other companies, he found he was paying twice the average. ....Laupus stumbled onto something that many members of the world’s largest seniors’ organization don’t know: The group, formerly called American Association of Retired Persons, collects hundreds of millions of dollars annually from insurers who pay for AARP’s endorsement of their policies.(emphasis added)

So what, you ask?  They need the money for all the good things they do for seniors, you say?
