Yep, this is a cannibal joke


Two cannibals, a father and son, were elected by the tribe to go out and get something to eat. They walked deep into the jungle and waited by a path. Before long, along came this little old man. The son said, "Oh dad, there's one."
"No," said the father. "There's not enough meat on that one to even feed the dogs. We'll just wait."

Well, a little while later, along came this really fat man. The son said, "Hey dad, he's plenty big enough."
"No," the father said. "We'd all die of a heart attack from the fat in that one. We'll just wait."

About an hour later, here comes this absolutely gorgeous woman. The son said, "Now there's nothing wrong with that one dad. Let's eat her."
"No," said the father. "We'll not eat her either."
"Why not?" asked the son.
"Because, we're going to take her back alive and eat your mother!"

The Night of the Long Knives


75 years ago today, on June 30, 1934, in Germany, the “Night of the Long Knives” or "Operation Hummingbird" took place - several hundred members of the SA (a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party), including its leader Ernst Röhm and other senior members of the Nazi Party were killed by the SS on the orders of Adolf Hitler, for allegedly being involved in a plot to assassinate him. Also killed that night were hundreds of other perceived opponents of Hitler, including Kurt von Schleicher and Gregor Strasser.
This destroyed all opposition within the Nazi Party, gave power to the brutal SS and it also showed the rest of the world what a tyrant Hitler was.

Bloggers Unite for a Free Iran


Democracy has never been served to the Iranian people and Mr Ahmadinejad, who calls himself a friend of the people, keeps denying “his friends” basic democratic rights, such as freedom of speech and democratic elections. Severe violations of human rights, force and repression, injustice, and corruption allied to a non-existing democracy, have been a trademark of this regime. Enough is enough: It’s time to stop shooting, spanking and arresting peaceful protesters and to free those already detained.

APACHE supports Iranian People and their fight for freedom!

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)


Mega popstar Michael Jackson has died after suffering from a suspected heart attack, however the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known. The King of Pop suffered a cardiac arrest at his home, in Holmby Hills, and was taken to the UCLA medical centre, where he was pronounced dead. His family confirmed Michael’s death, at the age of 50, after doctors worked for more than an hour to try to revive him.
No matter whether we liked him or not, we have to admit that he was a very talented artist, an excellent composer, dancer and singer.He sold over 750 million records worldwide and won 13 Grammy Awards, I guess.
The star is dead, the myth is born.

Happy birthday, Edgar!


Edgar celebrated his anniversary and five good friends showed up for his birthday lunch in AT: AC, CC, CM, IP and I. He was the last one to arrive, as usual (LOL!). We chatted, laughed and joked for most of the time. It was simply amazing. We were all so happy!

Welcome to America!


124 years ago today, on June 19 1885, The Statue of Liberty ( officially titled “Liberty Enlightening the World”), a gift from France, to represent the friendship between the two countries, established during the American Revolution, arrives in New York, USA.
Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by ship and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy.
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a U.S. patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin (chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering- company and designer of the Eiffel Tower- engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side.
The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National Monument in 1924 and restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986.

Teachers united/ Professores unidos


This video reflects what the government’s stubbornness has been doing to teaching and to the Teachers in Portugal and, subsequently, to Children’s learning.
150 000: so many people and yet so few. They tried to divide us and succeeded in the professional career, but not in number.
We fought to defend our principles. We came from the north, from the south, from the littoral, from the interior. We filled up cities, streets and squares. We united generations and we made history. We went searching for the truth.
We rode miles and miles throughout the country, we put up flags, we sang until we were almost voiceless, but we never shut up.
We formed human chains, delivered an injunction, slept in the street.
We were called incompetents and liars (what we are not and never were, after all).
.....................................................................................
Este video reflecte o que o governo tem vindo a fazer ao ensino e aos Professores em Portugal. Mas mais do que isso, este video demonstra a importância de manter a união da classe.
Pelos Professores portugueses, vejam e repassem.
150 000: tantos e ainda tão poucos. Tentaram dividir-nos e conseguiram em carreira, mas não em número.
Lutámos defendendo os nossos princípios. Viemos do Norte, do Sul, do Centro, do Litoral e Interior. Enchemos cidades, ruas e praças, unimos gerações fizemos história. Partimos em busca da verdade.
Percorremos km, estendemos bandeiras, cantámos até ficar sem voz, mas nunca nos calámos.
Já fizemos cordões, entregámos providência, dormimos na rua.
Chamaram-nos incompetentes e mentirosos, Sem nunca o termos sido.

Happy birthday, Donald!


The irascible Donald Duck, one of Walt Disney's most popular and beloved animated stars, has celebrated his 75th birthday.
Donald's full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck and his birthday is officially recognized as June 9, 1934, the day his debut film, “The Wise Little Hen”, was released.
In one of his most daring roles, a patriotic Donald took on the Nazi's in "Der Fuehrer's Face" - which earned him his one and only Oscar in 1943.
