CULTURE

"The beauty of the world lies in the diversity of its people."

The behavioral patterns of the human race are greatly influenced by the traits that the people have adopted, subconsciously or otherwise, from their surroundings. That's culture!

The vast range of tribes, languages, social habits, art forms like music, dance, drama, and cuisine, are expressions of how extremely diversified our world is.

Until We Meat Again, Goatie!

With his ribs and side already thoroughly tenderized from that massive blow, just a little spice for treatment and Goatie will be cremated on the grill. He will thereafter receive a befitting send off accompanied with a glass of buttery wine.

This valley—present day Mexico City— is the place that Cortés and his soldiers faced the most resistance against an oppressive Aztec regime. And it’s especially for his capturing of it, in 1521, that he’s mostly known. Weird and unreal as it will probably sound, the battle that led to the overthrow of the Aztec Empire lasted 3 months!

The Heartache Of Rallying Behind African Teams At Global Soccer Tournaments

I strongly recommend you also buy yourself an original set of fake nails to use during the nail-biting penalty shootouts.

How Africa Could Snatch The World Cup!

Overall, I sense that there’s more faith in our great leaders teaming up to pull this off and bring that trophy home, than there is in our African soccer boys outclassing the rest of the world to deliver the $20m trophy.

Women Are From Venus!

Argue all you want to, but it’s general knowledge that every woman has got a minimum of two birthdays. Yet it’s only on one of those birthdays that you’re permitted to compute a plus-one to their age; and—wait for it—you’ll still not know how old she is! Tell you what: it’s probably easier to discover the whereabouts of Cleopatra’s tomb than it is to establish a woman’s actual age!
