'I embraced the devil,' says priest 62 years who struggled with the thief PR


Father says he does not hold grudges and is ready to receive the criminal.
Burglar gave up the crime and saw a priest wounded, on Tuesday (21).

The case was almost lunchtime on Tuesday (21). A criminal broke into a rectory, in Londrina, northern Paraná, to rob. The priest stood for 62 years and held the thief, "embraced the devil," he says. But some time later, without force, the cleric fell to the ground. Then came the surprise.
The robber repented and, seeing the bloody priest, called the Integrated Service of Emergency Trauma Care (SIAT) before fleeing, jumping a window. He left behind everything that had separated to steal. The priest says he holds no grudges and is willing not only to embrace, but also the kissing bandit. Masses should return to normal this week.

Chinese teen sells his kidney for an iPad 2


The 17-year-old boy, identified only by his surname, “Zheng”, confessed to his mother that he had sold the kidney after spotting an online advertisement offering cash to anyone prepared to become an organ donor.

“I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn’t have the money,” the boy told Shenzhen TV in the southern province of Guangdong, “When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by agent saying they were able to pay RMB 20,000 (equals 3,089.28 U.S. dollars) to buy a kidney.” After negotiations, the boy travelled north to the city of Chenzhou in Hunan Province where the kidney was removed at a local hospital which discharged him after three days, paying a total of RMB 22,000 (equals 3,398.21 U.S. dollars) for the organ.

Trading organs online is a common practice in China, despite repeated attempts by China’s government to stamp out the practice.

The boy, who has suffered complications following the surgery, returned home but was unable to keep what he had done from his mother.

“When he came back, he had a laptop and a new Apple handset,” his mother, identified as Miss Liu, told the station, showing off the livid red scar where her son’s kidney was removed, “I wanted to know how he had got so much money and he finally confessed that he had sold one of his kidneys.”

The case, which caused an online furore, was cited by some as an extreme example of the rampant materialism of modern China.

Apple products like the iPhone and the iPad are in huge demand in China, and are seen as a badge of wealth and sophistication by young consumers. Last month scuffles broke out among desperate shoppers outside several Beijing Apple Stores as they queued to buy the newly launched iPad 2 and white iPhone 4.

And you, would you sell any part of your body to buy anything?

Friend of Truth


You, you're tired of all those texts watered down with boring poems about friendship,
mostly, they sound cool, but never really come close to reality?

Your problems are over!



Here is a poem about friends that really expresses the true friendship
- Is the very truth!

Friend,

When you are sad,
... I'll leave bebaço and help you plot revenge
against the bastards that got you so.





When you look me in despair,
... I'll stick your finger in your throat and make you bring out the
that you're choking.

When you smile,
... I'll know you finally got some sticks. "

When you feel fear,
... I'll call you a wimp and take one of your face whenever you have chance.

When you are worried,
... I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be
and to quit whining.

When you are confused,
... I'll explain to you with very simple words,
because I know how much you are stupid.

When you are sick,
... Stay away from me until you heal. I do not want to get
whatever you have.

When you fall,
... I will point you shitting me and laugh at your clumsy.

You ask: "Why?"
Because you are my friend!

Have a great day!

Funny what he does with those thieves that even makes you pity them




Beetlejuice

When they return home, they don’t remember how they got back - and when Adam tries to trace the path back to the bridge he found a desert with giant earthworms.

The alien E.T.

One of the best works that the blockbuster cinema brought us in the '80s. A 1982 film, Et was one of the biggest blockbuster in movie history. The story is simple, while being powerful. In the plot, an alien is forgotten on Earth and is befriended with an Earthling who tries to help the creature to return home. To disrupt, the U.S. government wants to keep the poor creature.
Very cool but E.T is damn ugly.










Superman

I loved the Superman movies. There was never a Clark Kent like Christopher Reeve.
"It’s a bird?, no, it's a plane?, no it's Superman!






Edward Scissorhands

A movie from the 90’s, directed by Tim Burton. In the film, a troubled young man named Edward.
He would have been created by a mad inventor, and peculiarly possess scissors instead of hands. Before dying, Edward’s "father" would present him with a pair of hands made by him at Christmas. But before he could put them on Edward, he dies. After the death of his "father" Edward is left alone where they lived, a huge and old mansion. One day, a cosmetics saleswoman knocks on Edward’s door and found him there all alone. She then decides to take him home, where Edward has difficulty socializing, mainly due to the prejudice shown by the neighborhood. But little by little hebecomes popular thanks to the talent he has.
Classic, very good indeed






Planet of the Apes

Planet of the Apes is a series of three science fiction films that tells what happened to the human race after the monkeys have evolved and learned to speak, is a film that opened interesting discussions about the direction of humanity. Mainly because it came out introubled times in world politics, when the whole society on the planet feared (was
regardedas a certainty) a nuclear war that would annihilate the two superpowers.











STAR WARS

The end of the 70's and early 80's brought upscience fictionblockbusters. Along that time, emerged a super classic, which would affect the American cinema asno one: It was Star Wars. Although it was not science fiction, was something that was called "Space Opera", a fantasy movie on a distant galaxy. The film won several awards including the Oscar for best special effects. The film gave rise to a series, and several franchises, such as literature, cartoons, toys, special effects industry has reached a standard of quality never seen before, video games, comics ... A  lot of things that made the young director George Lucas one of the most fortunate of Hollywood.

 








Herbie - The Love Bug

 Very cool, although simple, is better than many movies nowadays.




King Solomon's Mines -

This was a sort of more humble Indiana Jones production, but had all the rest, temples, traps, and chasings in the forest, volcanoes and Indians coming out of nowhere. Things falling and people jumping from the top of cliffs in small rivers.Typical adventure movie. It has also in the same line Everything for an Emerald.



Police Academy -
Pure 80's, this film was the kind of comedy where you join a bunch of people and put these guys in everyday situations and wait for the result. The best was undoubtedly the man who could make weird sounds, became a franchise and even a cartoon.








 





The Abduction from the Golden Boy -

As we can see, the 80’s were prolific for Eddie Murphy. In this film he is a guy who has to protect a child who is a kind of "Buddha" from none other than the devil, full of supernatural powers, really cool and when the devil comes straight before them it was well done for the time.










 Back to the Future -

Who does not remember Martin McFly, "Dr." and even Biff, did not live in the 80's. Back to the Future has a story relatively simple but very powerful. A guy goes back in time and gets himself into trouble. This time, he's a teenager, a friend of a crazy scientist and the time machine is a Delorean. A very good movie, very well done and very well tied.
































Gremlins -

Who has not felt full of desire to have a gizmo just for yourself? He was cuddly and cute. But he could not be fed after midnight. Neither being wet. And guess what happens in the movie? That's right. Both, it makes the friendly and furry Gizmo gives rise to hundreds of animals that bring terror in the city.



 



The neverending story -

Very good this movie. In the story a boy with social problems takes refuge in an attic with a mysterious book. As he read, he feel that the book talks about him. A very interesting and intelligent story about fables, fantasy realms, heroes and dragons faced as a furry dog, which was pretty cool.




Get you out there -

A very good movie. Really disturbing. The guy just starts by touching on the arm of a new student, a giant and bad guy, so the nerd are swear to be beaten up. Insofar as the hours go by, the kid will see that it is getting time to get beaten and does everything to avoid his tragic fate. Encourages a little violence, butthere was not this kind of puritanical concern in the 80's.









        The fantastic chocolate factory –
A sensational work, with the chocolate river and all, not forgetting about the oompa-loompas.




Blue Lagoon -

Who has never watched it throw the first stone. Even if are a little slushy. The film is also a classic and shows two innocent young people who take refuge on an island and grow there without knowing anything about sex, love, etc..
