I don't mind wine. My favorite way to drink is shots of Bacardi 151 with some coke to chase it with. 3-4 shots and you are good for the night

Yeah beer imo tastes bad and has too many calories. Just ain't worth it.

heh. i hate beer...only shots/liquor for me

free2ryhme: If your ex sends u an sms saying"u will never find someone like me again" wat would be yo response in 5 seconds

My response will probably be, "You are right."

I kinda miss that girl, to be honest

sigh

lmao @ tonto decay

So...my new year's resolution was to get my 6-pack back. After 2 months of hard work and tedious time on a treadmill + calorie counting, it seems to have returned. Now at 205

So this Igbo woman marrying Yoruba man thing is nothing new. I guess tribalism is overrated.

Anyway, congratulations to her.

I know it is a bit foolish to draw conclusions based upon just my personal experience. But I play basketball quite a bit recreationally. I've noticed that African Americans can typically run faster and jump higher than whites. They also seem to react faster...better lateral quickness.

But the Africans I've seen play, they've not looked overmatched physically. Or it isn't like the slowest black guy on the court will be an African.

Black Africans And Sports

Basketball is a sport dominated by African Americans.

Sprinting, Black Caribbeans.

American Football, AAs.

So my question is, why aren't African countries good at these two sports? Like, given that there are only 40 million African Americans and like ~800 million Africans, you'd figure that we should be a lot better at the 100 meters, for example.

Heck, there are ~40 million Yoruba people, and ~3 million Jamaicans. All other things equal, shouldn't Yoruba be more successful at sprinting than Jamaicans due to sheer #s alone?

I have a few hypotheses:

1. Lack of interest/funding
2. Nutrition/diet
3. Different athletic profiles? Perhaps the trans-atlantic slave trade effectively selected for athletic traits in slaves, and thus your slave-descended AA is on average more athletic than the original version..?

I'm not sure what the answer is.

The ancestral spirits must be appeased, I guess

An eight-year-old schoolboy has married a 61-year-old woman because the ghost of his dead ancestor told him to.
Sanele Masilela tied the knot with Helen Shabangu, who is already married and a mother-of-five.
The boy, from Tshwane, South Africa, said he had been told by his dead ancestors to wed and his family, fearing divine retribution, forked out for a wedding.
They paid £500 for the bride and a further £1,000 for the big day, which was organised in just two months.

Dressed in a bow tie and tiny silver suit, little Sanele, the youngest of five children, exchanged rings in front of 100 guests and even puckered up for a kiss.
It's already shocked the community but the family has defended the ceremony, saying it was just a ritual and not legally binding.

Sanele's 46-year-old mum, Patience Masilela said: 'This is the first time this has happened in the family.
'Sanele is named after his grandfather, who was never had a white wedding before he died so asked Sanele to get married. He chose Helen because he loves her.
'By doing this we made the ancestors happy. If we hadn't done what my son had asked then something bad would have happened in the family.
'I didn't have a problem with it because I know it's what the ancestors wanted and it would make them happy.'

With this ring: The boy's family say the wedding was simply a ritual and not recognised in law
The widow, who works at a recycling centre, added: 'I would say that this is not wrong.
'Sanele was fine and he was happy about the ceremony and it was what he wanted. He was happy to get married and very excited.'
Sanele and his bride did not sign a marriage certificate and do not have to live together. Both have gone back to their normal lives.
Sanele today said he hoped he would have a proper wedding to a woman his own age when he was older.
He added: 'I told my mother that I wanted to get married because I really did want to.

The big day: Mrs Shabangu is already married and has five children with Alfred, a builder
'I'm happy that I married Helen - but I will go to school and study hard.
'When I'm older I will marry a lady my own age.'
Despite being old enough to be his grandmother, bride Helen, whose children are aged between 37 and 27, was happy with the arrangement.
Helen, who also works at a recycling centre, said: 'I'm married and have five kids of my own, but I know that this is what the ancestors wanted - and now they are happy.
'It is a ritual. We are just playing now, but it is a sign that he will get married one day.'
Her husband of 30 years, Alfred, 65, said: 'My kids and I are happy.
'We don't have problems with it but some of the community members were shocked.'

iamswizz: the baby looks like that man in the pics

It is always a good thing when a baby looks like his supposed father, and quite a bad thing when the baby does not

he does look quite high

Will human beings still exist on earth in 2213, not to talk of the country called Nigeria?

I find bioscience research soooo fascinating.

DNA evidence has revealed that the oldest known common male ancestor is 340,000 years old, more than twice as old as previous estimates.
New Scientist reports that the sample comes from a recently deceased man named Albert Perry. After the African-American South Carolina man died, one of his relatives submitted a sample of his DNA to a company called Family Tree DNA for analysis.
The findings were published in the The American Journal of Human Genetics and may require researchers to adjust the known timeline of humankind’s evolution.
And the historical mark came at something of a bargain—the company does historical DNA analysis on individuals for about $150.
All previously compared DNA samples pointed to a common Y chromosome traced back to man who lived between 60,000 and 140,000 years ago. But Perry’s DNA sample broke the trend, not matching up with this common ancestor.
"It's a cool discovery," Jon Wilkins of the Ronin Institute in Montclair, N.J., told New Scientist. "We geneticists have been looking at Y chromosomes about as long as we've been looking at anything. Changing where the root of the Y-chromosome tree is at this point is extremely surprising."
After the initial tests on Perry’s DNA, geneticists at the University of Arizona conducted further tests to confirm the anomaly. The Y chromosome in Perry’s test matched up with those of 11 men who all lived in one village in Cameroon.
University of Arizona researcher Michael Hammer says Perry’s DNA suggests there may have been an earlier species of humans that went extinct—but not before interbreeding with the more modern version of man.

Well said

we are also waiting for your own bikini shot

I am surprised that nothing physical made this list....all emotional stuff. Lists like this are the product of guys saying what they think a woman wants to hear, not what guys actually believe/feel/want

gross
