My wife smokes - I want an annulment. That's right, either you quit or I do!
Brain damage can erase cigarette addiction. So I should hit them hard on the head? Where exactly?...

We will be able to live to 1,000. Life expectancy is increasing in the developed world. But Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey believes it will soon extend dramatically to 1,000. That is... if you stop smoking. :p

What suports the american-idiot sterotype:

Get out of this world, but while you can't read the news...

Get out of this world. Forget Hawaii, Hong Kong, Bali, Britain or Paris -- before too long your family vacation choices will include staying at space hotels or taking a 10-day spin around the moon.

US House backs stem cell research. Ethical problems always surrounded stem cells, I don't see why, honestely...
Amniotic fluid offers stem cell 'breakthrough'. What could prove to be an ethically acceptable way of harvesting usable stem cells has been pioneered by researchers in the US.

Happy new year! I know I'm late... I'm portuguese...

Feliz ano novo!!!
Happy new year!!!
I know I'm late, I can try to excuse myself by claming I'm "latin" therefore late... but you won't belive me...
Anyway... for the first time in my life I did not spend new year's eve in Madeira, and go figure... exactly this year the Guiness book of records claim that Madeira has the biggest firework show in the world. The picture on the left if from Porto, where I spend that night together with a loved one.

Em Português agora: Eu sei que estou atrasado, posso tentar desculpar-me dizendo que sou "latino" e daí atrasado... mas não iam acreditar.....
De qualquer maneira... pela primeira vez na minha vida não passei o final do ano na Madeira, e vamos lá ver... exactamente neste ano o livro do Guiness declara que a Madeira possui o maior espectáculo pirotécnico do mundo. A foto ao lado é do final do ano no Porto, onde passei com a Inês. PS. O aeroporto do Porto foi considerado o melhor aeroporto da Europa, e ainda não está pronto....
Vamo às notícias!!!
