Rosinete Palmeira Serrao Gave Birth To Her Own Twin Grandchildren

On September 30, in Sao Paulo (Brazil), 51-yr-old Rosinete Palmeira Serrao gave birth to her twin grandchildren. One might wonder how this could happened? As a matter of fact, her own only (27) daughter has attempted pregnancy and failed for four years.

Since De Brito has no siblings and Brazilian law stipulates that only close relatives can serve as surrogate mothers, Serrao agreed to receive four embrios from her daughter. She gave birth to twin boys at the Santa Joana Hospital in Recife by Cesarean section two weeks ahead because Serrao was having trouble sleeping.

Just wondering if the kids should call her grandma or mum??

Deadly Kiss And A Dead Penalty

Real case, real story from Shanghai, China.

"It was 28 of September, 2007 when the story was reported. Xia from Henan has fed Mao, her long time lover, a rat poison while they were kissing. Mao die not long after of the rat poison. They made an oath that if either one cheated the other, the one who betrayed their love should die. Xia caught Mao talking to a girl over a phone and decided to kill him because she thought he was unfaithful to her. Xia was sentenced to death."

Moral behind the story, do no cheat on your partner. If you know that you would, don't make that vow. At least, don't let him or her know if you cheated on them. This doesn't mean that you have the right to be a two timer though. Just that, to flirt (depending on to what extend) and to cheat is totally two different things, to ME. Also, death is a price a little to expensive to pay!

If you rob a place, don't leave you name behind. Those movies playing tricks with the cops, like Numb3rs, they are just movie, really!

Forget the twinkle in his eye, his smile or even the size of his wallet - the way a woman determines if a man is good relationship material is in the first kiss.

As the Mail reported yesterday, scientists this week claimed that women have learned to use kissing as an evolutionary tool to find the right father for their children.

So, how memorable are first kisses - and were they glorious, or gruesome?

Berlin Biggest Synagogue Reopen on 31 August 2007

The special ceremony in Berlin Friday marked the reopening of the synagogue located in east Berlin's trendy Prenzlauer Berg district. The synagogue was built in 1904 and it took a year work to restore its former glory after set ablaze on Kristallnacht (n 1938 when many Jewish temples, homes and businesses were set on fire by the Nazis and their sympathizers).

Its huge prayer hall seats up to 1,200 people which is important as Berlin has the biggest Jewish community in the country. It was one of the few Jewish institutions that survived the blaze in 1938.

Since the fall of Berlin Wall, it was rebuilt with the help of Berlin city authority, lottery money and international donations.

The interior restoration cost up to $ 3.7 million came from the city-owned lottery. Renovation work was carried out by architect Ruth Golan and her partner Kay Zareh with only few old photographs to work with.

The blue dome, topped the the building, has been described as one of the jewels of Germany Jewish Community. Restoration of the ceiling was not an easy task as architects had to use scalpels to remove the layers from the ceiling before they could restore it.

A few finishing touch and stained glass windows have been installed with excerpts from Genesis, both in Hebrew and German.
