@ topic,the richest people in the world today were drop outs,need I say more?

With one flick of my knife I can change your religion- 3 muskateers (Lady de Winter)

I think SOME of them cheat cos they want to see if they still have 'it' and when they find out they're still desireable to the opposite sex (especially when they're taken for granted)well, why waste the opportunity right?So I think they cheat to feel good about themselves.

@ topic, http://www.toffsworld.com/fashion_designers/history_of_mens_suits.php

From that link its obvious that when suits were designed,they did not consider african nations part of their clientele (pre-colonization) and since then (Post colonization) no one has seen it fit to design a formal outfit suited for the more humid nations(i.e African nations).I think it's up to us design suits that are better suited for africa cos as long as we import most of our clothing (obviously designed for people that dwell in cooler climates)we go sweat for AC tire.

@ olulu-Thanks

@ romade lol!

word!will pass your message on the nun

A nun once told her sunday school kids to read the bible and find out what their favorite biblical stories were and as their homework,draw pictures that represented these stories.The next sunday,she asked the kids to turn in their homework and was surprised that one of the kids had drawn 3 people in a Limo,a guy in the front seat of the Limo,he was driving a man and a woman,astonished,she asked:

Nun:I though I asked you to draw a picture from your favorite bible story?
Kid:Yes you did sister and thats what I did.
Nun:But I've read the whole bible and I never came across a story about 3 people in a Limo.
Kid:Sure there is sister.
Nun:Ok,here's a bible can you show me where this story is?
Kid: Sure sister.
And the kid showed the nun a verse in Genesis that read,"And God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden".

Hey guys want to share any childhood dreams that LIFE stole from you?

@ topic,Gee I don't know,I'll ask beyonce next time I see her on a serious note sha,I think SOME fine guys take them for granted cause they think it's still all about looks(not so much) while SOME 'not too pretty' guys are very grateful when a pretty girl gives them a chance,they feel they don't deserve her so they do what ever it takes to keep her happy incase she changes her mind.

Life has taught me:
- Things aren't always what they seem.
- The grass is not always greener on the other side.
- It is quite hard to find good people but,they still exist.
- Not to let money(riches) put a wedge between you and family(or friends) as it comes and goes but, family is forever.
