			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two young men went to the City Hall of San Francisco. “Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license.” “Names?” “Tim and Jim Jones.”“Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance.” “Yes, we’re brothers.”</p>
<p>“Brothers? You can’t get married.” “Why not? Aren’t you giving marriage licenses to same-gender couples?” “Yes, thousands. But that’s incest!”“Incest?” No, we are not gay.” “Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?”<br />
“For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other.”</p>
<p>“But we’re issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. If you are not gay, you can get married to a woman.”“Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have. But just because I’m straight doesn’t mean I want to marry a woman. I want to marry Jim.”</p>
<p>“And I want to marry Tim. Are you going to discriminate against us just because we are not gay?”“All right, all right. I’ll give you your license. Next.”“Hi. We are here to get married.” “Names?” “John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson.”<br />
 <br />
“Who wants to marry whom?” “We all want to marry each other.” “But there are four of you!”“That’s right. You see, we’re all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express our sexual preferences in a marital relationship.”</p>
<p>“But we’ve only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples.” “So you’re discriminating against bisexuals!”<br />
“No, it’s just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is that it’s just for couples.” “Since when are you standing on tradition?”<br />
“Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere.”</p>
<p>“Who says that? There’s no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a marriage license!”“All right, all right. Next.”</p>
<p>“Hello, I’d like a marriage license.” “In what names?” “David Deets.” “And the other man?” “That’s all. I want to marry myself.” “Marry yourself? What do you mean?” “Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return.” “That does it!  I quit!  You people are making a mockery of marriage!”</p>
<p>The above article, written by an unknown author, satirizes the recent California Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex marriage.  The Catholic Church position stresses the traditional family, “founded on matrimony between a man and a woman, to be the natural cradle of human life.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="387" src="http://www.angelsghosts.com/sitebuilder/images/jesus_in_the_clouds_9483-387x531.jpg" height="531" /><img width="281" src="http://www.angelsghosts.com/sitebuilder/images/cloud_apparition_christian_ghost_jesus-319x453-281x399.jpg" height="399" /></p>
<p>from the sender:</p>
<p>&#8220;I was just checking out your site at angelsghosts.com and figured I&#8217;d scan you a photo that we&#8217;ve had</p>
<p>since at least the early 1980&#8242;s but by the looks of the type of photo paper it was developed on, I&#8217;d</p>
<p>guess it was taken in the early 70&#8242;s.  It was given to us by my aunt who had received it from a friend,</p>
<p>so I&#8217;m not sure of it&#8217;s story.  I remember hearing that it had been taken from an airplane window&#8230;so</p>
<p>here it is.  You can post it on your site if you like.&#8221;</p>
<p><img width="349" src="http://www.angelsghosts.com/images/angel_in_sky_photograph.jpg" height="539" /></p>
<p>from the sender:</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a very old copy of this picture that was found in my grandfather&#8217;s family bible when he died.  Written on</p>
<p>the back of the print was &#8217;1916 Arthur Hutchens &#8211; 4 Wells Kansas.&#8217;  I&#8217;ve gone to the Kansas Historical Society</p>
<p>website and can find no 4/Four Wells Kansas or Tornado of 1916.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>This pictures might not be true but it certainly inspired me.</p>
<p>&#8220;God may show up at our sickbed or in the midst of a life-threatening accdident. He may speak to us in a dream or right before a critical decision. Sometimes God sends angels to deliver a personal message, or leads us to a Bible verse that heals our souls.&#8221; &#8211; Linda Watkins</p>
<p>God continues to show us His love every day. He even allow us to see Him but we fail to see because we simply don&#8217;t care. We don&#8217;t have to see Him in pictures like this just to believe He is real but I know this helps us strengthen our faith.</p>
<p>If we allow Jesus to let us see Him we could. We just need to have faith and have a constant communication with him.</p>
<p>I hope the picture helped you to feel blessed like what it did to me. I don&#8217;t care if it is photoshopped which I don&#8217;t think it is anyway because it is taken in the old ages.</p>
<p>Have a blessed day everyone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Transvestite Toilets<!-- by Crazy Admin Guy --></h2>
<p>Source: <a href="http://www.allweirdnews.com/">read more stories here</a></p>
<p>In Bankok, Thailand there are seperate bathrooms for teen boys who prefer to dress as girls at one rural high school.   No more tough decisions about which toilet to take to or having to go to the teachers lounge.</p>
<p>The Kampang School in northeastern Thailand conducted a survey last term that showed more than 200 of the school’s 2,600 students considered themselves transgender, said school director Sitisak Sumontha.  So, when classes resumed in May, the school unveiled a unisex restroom designated by a human figure split in half &#8211; part man in blue and part woman in red. Below it are the words “Transvestite Toilet.”</p>
<p>Three transgender students praised the new restroom as they plucked their eyebrows and applied face powder in front of the mirror outside the stalls.   Most rural Thais are conservative in many ways, but the trailblazing toilet initiative at the school in northeastern Sisaket province reflects another aspect of Thai society: its tolerance of the country’s very visible transgender community. The term describes a wide range of identities including cross-dressers, transvestites, transsexuals and those born with the physical characteristics of both sexes.</p>
<p>Kampang is not Thailand’s first educational institution to set up unisex washrooms, though Sitisak said he believed it was a first for a secondary school. A 1,500-student technical college in the northern province of Chiang Mai set up a “Pink Lotus Bathroom” for its 15 transvestite students in 2003.  Deputy Education Minister Boonlue Prasertsopar recently said the ministry plans to count the number of transgender university students.</p>
<p>He said he was not promoting transgender interests, “but if there are a lot of them in a university and it’s a problem, we may have to consider building toilets and dormitories for them.”  Transgenders are regularly seen on TV soap operas and throughout Bangkok, working at department store cosmetics counters, popular restaurants, in office jobs and in the capital’s red-light districts. Thailand also has transgender beauty pageants. I think a lot of those saying they consider themselves transgender are just doing it to be supportive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was searching for some stupid statements of Bush and saw the video clip and the statment below. The video was titled as Bush Insults Filipino Americans.</p>
<p>Check this out..</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to tell you how proud I am to be the President of a nation that &#8212; in which there&#8217;s a lot of Philippine-Americans. They love America and they love their heritage. And I reminded the President that I am reminded of the great talent of the &#8212; of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House.&#8221; &#8211;George W. Bush, referring to White House chef Cristeta Comerford while meeting with Filipino President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Washington, D.C., June 24, 2008</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Cristeta Comerford was born as Cristeta Pasia in The Philippines and grew up in the Sampaloc, Manila. She attended Manila Science High School for her secondary education. She attended the University of the Philippines, Diliman in Quezon City and majored in food technology. However, she did not earn her degree because she had left school to immigrate to the United States. She immigrated to the United States at the age of 23. Her first job was at the Sheraton Hotel near O&#8217;Hare International Airport. She also worked at the Hyatt Regency hotel.</p>
<p>After Chicago, she moved to Washington, D.C., and worked as a chef at two restaurants. She additionally spent six months in Vienna as a rotating chef.</p>
<p>Comerford was recruited by executive chef Walter Scheib III in 1995 to work in the Clinton White House. Scheib resigned as executive chef in February 2005. Comerford was appointed by First Lady Laura Bush on August 14, 2005. She is the first female executive chef and the first Filipina to hold this position.</p>
<p>She reportedly was appointed to this position due to her handling of a large dinner that was held in honor of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
The statment of Bush in a way insulted me because I know there are a lot of Filipinos who had already proven our people&#8217;s worth. But in the contrary, I think I shouldn&#8217;t feel that bad. The work of a chef needs a lot of hardwork, talent, skills, knowledge, patience and a formal education. Camerford studied her craft and there is no way she could be hired just by tasting the food.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know this is a sensitive issue but I just can&#8217;t help not to comment about this. I&#8217;ve seen the video from the National Geographic channel about this children who are considered as a Hindu Gods. This children has deformities and should be treated and not be considered as Gods. I am not against these kids, I actually pray for them that they will be treated soon. I just don&#8217;t like the idea that some people consider them as the reincarnated Gods.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_01/8LimbGirlBARC_468x319.jpg" /></p>
<p>The above picture is Lakshmi Tatma who was born joined with a parasitic twin.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_01/8LimbXrayBARC_468x533.jpg" /></p>
<p>The headless twin is joined with her at the pelvis and has its own spinal column and kidney.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_01/vishnu_468x672.jpg" /></p>
<p>Her mother Poonam Tatma believed that her daughter is a miracle and a reincarnation of Vishnu.</p>
<p>But the good thing is that her parents considered to finally submit their daughter to undergo a 40-hour operation to remove half of her limbs. Without the operation the girl could never walk and might not live past her early teens.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Another story about the reincarnation of the Hindu Goddess is this baby who is born in India with a congenital disorder called craniofacial duplication (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diprosopus">diprosopus</a>), in which part of the face is duplicated on the head.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pinoyspy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/baby-born-2-faces.jpg" /></p>
<p>The sad thing about this story is that the family refused to seek for special medical treatment, believing she is the incarnation of a Hindu goddess. In fact, hundreds of people have flocked to the family’s dilapidated brick house to “worship” her and seek blessings.</p>
<p>Reports said she ate with both mouths and blinked all four eyes.</p>

I never thought it is exotic for some people. Among the 10 foods, my favorites are mangosteen, jackfruit, and durian.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.hotelclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/exotic-fruits.jpg" /></p>
<p>1. Rambutan<br />

<h3> It is really stupid if you fall for a spam like this. I mean download a nude video of Jolie? Like hello! You can watch videos like that in youtube or some other video sites or just grab a copy of the films where you can see her naked.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><a href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2008/07/17/spam-uses-angelina-jolies-name-and-fame-to-spread-malware">Spam uses Angelina Jolie&#8217;s name and fame to spread malware</a></h3>
<p>By <a href="http://arstechnica.com/authors.ars/Slimy">Emil Protalinski</a></p>
<p><img src="http://media.arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.media/angelina_jolie.jpg" /></p>
<p> BitDefender researchers are reporting that new spam messages are using fake events ostensibly involving actor Angelina Jolie and claiming the MSN Featured Offers program. Users that fall for them will be tricked into infecting their PCs with Trojan.Agent.AGGZ. The e-mail typically attempts to lure users into downloading a binary file entitled video-nude-anjelina.avi.exe. As usual, the spam message itself is written using poor grammar and uses multiple obfuscations to trick spam filters.</p>
<p>&#8220;The spam wave is part of a larger category of unsolicited mail messages that rely on social engineering techniques in order to lure unwary users into installing Trojans,&#8221; said Vlad Valceanu, Head Of Antispam Research. Pictures of international celebrities, coupled with catchy fake news leads seem to be a perfect recipe for spreading malware via ignorant users. This point is supported by a recent <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080717-report-81-5-percent-of-all-e-mails-sent-in-june-were-spam.html">spam report</a> that noted that spam is being mailed out in &#8220;smaller, more targeted batches, and spammers are using varying approaches like leveraging celebrity names and current events to grab attention.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jolie&#8217;s fame has been used previously to infect computers by taking advantage of users who believed the actress gave birth to no less than five children (she recently gave birth to twins). Users that clicked on a link that was supposed to show a small video with the event wound up with a very different show. An image impersonating a flash video player would appear, but the site included a drive-by download that infected users&#8217; computers with Trojan.Downloader.Exchanger.Gen.1. The site was designed to use the Windows Vista look-and-feel (the Aero wallpaper and icon buttons) in order to gain users&#8217; confidence.</h3>
