2.It is impossible to lick your elbow.
This is false. I know a girl, here in Brasil, she can lick her own elbow.

As pessoas têm estrelas que não são as mesmas.
Para uns, que viajam,as estrelas são guias.
Para outros, elas não passam de pequenas luzes.
Para outros, os sábios, são problemas.
Para o meu negociante, eram ouro.
Mas todas essas estrelas se calam.
Tu porém terás estrelas como nínguém (...)
quando olhares o céu de noite,
porque habitarei uma delas,
porque numa delas estarei rindo,
então será como se todas as estrelas te rissem!
E tu terás estrelas que sabem rir!
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry )
Despeço-me de ti com um sorriso:)
Ate um dia... Eu voltarei.
Beijo.

Hi!!!
It's a really interesting and COOL post... (like the blog)!!!
See u soon!!! =)
By Sofia Monteiro, at sábado, março 24, 2007 10:35:00 AM
Jessica: :)
MªIzabel: it's true!!
Silvia: E quando te houveres consolado (a gente sempre se consola), tu te sentirás contente por me teres conhecido. Tu serás sempre meu amigo. Terás vontade de rir comigo.
É assim que a passagem continua ...
E se tu estás agora a despedir-te por um tempo ouço também esta continuação. Sim, terei vontade de rir e esperarei teu retorno.
Sofia: see you :)

yes.Had read it in Deepak's blog--and i thought it was cool.I do think it is not possible for anyone to lick their elbows--unless you break off your hand. :)
By Preeti Shenoy, at domingo, março 25, 2007 12:11:00 AM
Very cool!!!!!
Abraços cheios de magia!!!*

Também dizem que a Coca-Cola tira as dores de cabeça...
... e também a língua inglesa "explica" montes de coisas com "simples palavras escritas"...
... e também não sebia que o nome mais comum no mundo era Mohammed...
... e também gostaria de saber pronunciar rápida e correctamente "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick"...
By Amaral, at domingo, março 25, 2007 7:08:00 PM
Ps: yes, it does sound impossible!
Plum: outros abraços mágicos para ti :)
Amaral: que tal começar com este "she sells seashells on the seashore", embora um pouco mais fácil, apresenta um bom grau de dificuldade a ser usado como treinamento. Já aquele do sheik ... como dizemos aqui no Brasil "ninguém merece!" :)
