23 Year Old Woman Who Faked Her Cancer Treatment for Two Years

Young Canadian adult, Anne Kirilow, faked her cancer treatment for two years stealing money from donors.

She tells of her loneliness as a child that led her to this behavior, when her parents were divorced.  But experts who analyzed her criminal tendencies  believe otherwise.  Her behavior cannot be just caused by her parents' divorce.

Read full details of this hoax via our link with a video interview of her father who reported her to authorities as soon he proved her fault.  You may refer to our post on "Feeling Depressed, Disappointed, Sad or Lonely - See the Best Remedy,"  and pray for enlightenment and guidance.

Afghanistan Twist: Americans Empower Women as Taliban Kills


It has been uncommon to see women in the Afghan Army.

Now it is a reality despite of threats from Taliban leaders of their resolve to kill all women and their families who are working and cooperating with Americans soldiers.

All 29 of them, joining the army mainstream once purely dominated by men,  decided on their own to help win the war against the Taliban.

Driving the World's Cheapest Car

This pint size car has its advantages from smaller parking space suitable in narrow streets like Paris and other European countries, more economical with a smaller engine and lighter body to being able to handily carry 4 regular sized passengers (Sumo wrestlers are, of course, an exception to this, lol). 

It may interest you to note that in the early 70's in Bacolod City, Philippines, a similar lightweight car, the "Minica," used to be a popular taxicab in that city until it was banned, only to be replaced by human-pedalled tricycles called "trisikad" which ply selected city streets until now, a practice tolerated by the city government, perhaps, to alleviate economic woes since the fall of sugar prices, the province's (Negros Occidental) main agricultural resource .

As far as safety is concerned, well, this blogger thinks it is at least safer than riding an open motorcycle.  Read more on its price and features through our link.
