It helps to be good looking

An interesting study i found on the net, shows that good looking men, are prominent to having better, healthier sperms, than ugly men, they have bigger reproduction possibilities and are more likely to get a girl pregnant... what the study has shown is that women have developed the ability to recognize reproductively fit males in the basis of the appearance of their face... so we can assume that Tom Brady is more likely to reproduce more little Toms, than Larry the Cable Guy little Larrys... again, according to this study...

Valentines History

Now that its valentine season, and we have a brand new seasoned header, I thought Id make a post of the history of valentines day, did a little research on it, and to tell you the truth its not as happy a holiday as we imagine, anyways here i leave you a brief description of the holiday, and if you want more info, you can click on the picture below to see a miniclip from the history channel regarding the holidays history.

Valentines Day

Origins of the Day of Love

The origins of Valentine's Day are shrouded in mystery. According to University of Notre Dame Professor Lawrence Cunningham, scholars have two main theories to explain how February 14 became synonymous with romance:

• Roman Feast of Lupercalia - This ancient pagan fertility celebration, which honored Juno, queen of the Roman gods and goddesses and goddess of women and marriage, was held on February 14, the day before the feast began. During festival time, women would write love letters, also known as billets, and leave them in a large urn. The men of Rome would then draw a note from the urn and ardently pursue the woman who wrote the message they had chosen. (Apparently, the custom of lottery drawings to select valentines continued into the 18th century, coming to an end when people decided they'd rather choose -- sight seen! -- their valentines.)

• The Birds and the Bees? - In the Middle Ages, people began to send love letters on Valentine's Day. Medieval Europeans believed that birds began to mate on February 14.

There's also some controversy regarding Saint Valentine, for whom the famous day is named. Archaeologists, who unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to St. Valentine, are not sure if there was one Valentine or more. Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred on February 14 -- at least two of those in Italy during the 3rd century. The most popular candidate for St. Valentine was a 3rd century Roman priest who practiced Christianity and performed secret marriages against direct orders from Emperor Claudius II, who believed single soldiers were more likely to join his army. Legend has it that Valentine sent a friend (the jailer's daughter) a note signed "From Your Valentine" before he was executed on February 14 in 270 A.D. (That phrase is still used prominently on today's cards!)

Early Christians were happier with the idea of a holiday honoring the saint of romantic causes than with one recognizing a pagan festival. In 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius named February 14 in honor of St. Valentine as the patron saint of lovers. In 1969, Pope Paul VI dropped it from the calendar. However, the blend of Roman festival and Christian martyrdom had caught on, and Valentine's Day was here to stay.

Fan Predictions

I was amazed when I took this poll on nfl.com and when I saw the results I thought, this has to go on lankuriosidad... I thought the results were going to be like 68 pats 32 giants or something like that maybe a little bit tighter... but after 125672 voters, the answer is 50-50 that is pretty amazing, considering the spread on vegas opened on Giants +14........

The giants might have a better chance than we thought...

Oscar Nominees: Best Picture

The oscar nominations are out, and as you probably already know, the author of lankuriosidad is a big fan of the movies, so if you havent seen the nominees or have no idea about the movies, we bring you the official trailer for each of the 5 best picture nominated films, here they are in no special order:


No country for old men




Juno




Atonement




There will be blood




Michael Clayton




I have not seen any of the 5 movies nominated and I hope to see them soon, before the oscars, so I can give you a better insight into them, but just by knowing what each film is about, and the whole crew behind them, my prediction for this years best picture is There Will Be Blood, the story behind it and the nice cast and director, makes it a strong contender for the golden statue... however, with the way the oscars have been in recent years... you never know...

Id love to read your opinions...

Super Bowl XLII

The cheeseheads have been crushed by the Giants.

As many of you already know I did a really good prediction for this past weekend's playoffs, just to remind some of you of one of them, I posted that the New York Giants, will win the game because they have gained a lot of momentum and they are already being called this years steelers, my prediction was 27-24 Giants win in OT actual score: 23-20 Giants win in OT, so, you could say I was pretty close...

With the super bowl, I see that this momentum is going to affect as well, but this time I think its going to be like the Jags-Pats game, its going to be tight at first, maybe 17-14 in favor of giants, going into halftime, but in the end, at the second half the pats are going to get back up like they did most of the season and com back to win it 34-29 when the giants score their last td, go for 2 points and dont make it, then fail to recover the onside kick...

lets see if im right this time, but I do think this will be the last Patriot Victory to get them to 19-0.

URBAN REPORTS: Wheels, swimming and some jail time...

The urban reporter has been missing for a while, but now Im back and I have a lot of pictures pending to post, so its gonna be a long urban report the first of 2oo8...

The first snapshot, I was long waiting to post it, because I had seen it before, but never before I had a camera with me to take pictures... its a spare tires business and well, the funny thing is the creative way that the owner (alfonso) has created an original name for his store here it is.. btw it also applies with Telas..


.


My second one was just a stupid sign in my opinion, also worth of being here, its an advertisment I saw on a volkswagen beetle for a swimming class... just check out the ample market these guys cover... it is never too late to start taking swimming lessons, according to these guys...



Were you ever like me that you thought of your school as a jail? at least sometimes? well the architect and the owners of this school, gave the guys no chance, its a private school in San Nicolas, and i will not mention any names, maybe one of you recognizes it, but man, what a creepy design, this is just one picture, but just so you can imagine the rest when I entered I thought I was in a chinese prison... BTW the school accepts a lot of rejects, so maybe that was the intention after all....

Angelis

It just came to my knowledge that the group Il Divo was created by Simon Cowell, that judge from american idol, I had no idea of that, and as I looked further into it, I discovered his new creation... the group is called Angelis and its six kids, three boys and three girls, all between the ages of 11 an 15 who sing opera songs and classic songs, another great idea... here it is...

Battle of the infomercials

Talk about crappy infomercials, I saw a couple of videos before posting this one, and the two runner ups were a product called bling it on, where you use stickers to "bling" your cell or your laptop, even your glasses, and the foot detox pad, which was a pad that you place at the bottom of your feet at night and it extracts all the bad toxins from your body while you sleep...

the winner was the amazing fish pen, you can bring it to work, to school, to church... I mean come on, bored? then go fish...

Crushed by a Giant and struck by Lightning

Its just incredible, my eyes couldnt believe it was an upset weekend, it started out normal, as saturday my jaguars try to beat the patriots and gave them a hard time doing it, the seahawks fell to the packers as well as was excpected, but on sunday, teams had different plans...

If instead of going to training camp, you decide to go on a vacation to los cabos with your really hot blonde girlfriend, then you might be talking about Tony Romo, the Quarterback for the cowboys who yesterday fell to the Giants in their own Texas Stadium... Ive been telling the boys fans I know for a long time now, that Romo is not their answer at QB, however they seem to believe he is the next Troy Aikman... we have now seen him in two playoff performances and both have been disasters... first they blame the ball, are they gonna blame Jessica Simpson this time? face it, hes just not THAT good...
And whats to say of the defending champs? they came into their own house with the hype of going back to back and marking history, and indeed history was marked... The chargers with a backup QB and a backup RB took them to school... Peyton was on target at first but in the end you could see his anxiety... not having harrison really was crucial for him because even though Wayne and Clark got good numbers, it was just not the same team we saw last year...

Now we wait for the championship games two obvious picks versus two sleeper picks... Two teams with awesome QBs vs two teams with average QBs... lets see how it plays out here is what I think is going to happen next week

New England 38 San Diego 27

The chargers will give a hard time to the patriots at first, but in the end health is going to be an issue and Brady is going to pass all over them.

Green Bay 24 NY Giants 27 F/OT

Its going to be a tight game all day, but the giants have been building up some great self esteem the last few games, that they are already being called this years Steelers...

I would love to see the Super Bowl NE vs GB but the Giants have been quietly killing their victims, and I now see them finishing off another huge opponent...

anyways, tell me what you think...
