There is a church in Curitiba that blesses cars. When I first heard this, I didn't believe it. In fact, there is such a large demand for these blessings that the priests must limit it to new cars. To assist those less fortunate - the congregants who forget to have their new car blessed - any car is welcome for blessing on the first Friday after New Year's.

Magia ou um crime? written by Desgraçado,

Magic is when you have a coin and wave your hand around, and it disappears..only to reappear behind someone's ear, NOT when you have a son who leaves on vacation with his mother, and she waves him around and he disappears....only to reappear as someone elses son.
The magic in Brazil is how often children are brought there to be harbored, to disappear forever from their native homeland their native culture and their loving parent.
The other magic is how the government conspires to wave a magic wand and make them wards of people who are not even realated to them. Do they think they are GOD???
There are hundreds of children who have been spirited away from thier parent, who are growing up without THEIR mother or father. Sean is growing up without his mother OR his father.
Lula should know, it's how he lived his life, just becouse his father took off before he was born: Is THIS what he wants for all those children who have been abducted? Is he living out his childhood???? MISSING A FATHER?
Lula da Silva Born 27 Oct 1945 in the interior of Pernambuco Seventh of eight children Father left for São Paulo and his wife’s cousin just before Lula was born Raised in extreme poverty in the interior of Pernambuco Mother, Dona Lindu, the dominant influence in his childhood

Hopefully you also had blessed your PC. You should not see a problem either !
It is the Brazilians cars drivers that should be blessed ! Because brazilians are one of the worst drivers on earth if you did not know. But true, human life is not important in your country. The show of your cars are more important.

Ohhh No ! One is as complicated and unfair as the other !
As to your BraZil, sorry bit it is the BraZilians who decided it that way not the Americans. Just refer to this site name....BraZZil.com, and not BraSil or BraSSil.com
And many brasilians sites have the name of BraZil(etc) not Brasil !
Finally, Noo doubt that in America their "Amazing" blondes pump their body as much as the "Amazon" dark hairs !
Here is a good and true story I saw a few years ago on MTV : there was an American guy, young and good looking, that did a lot of muscles pumping. He was proud about his body but complexed about his calves. so he decided to get some silicon implements. A few weeks later, after he had the surgery, he was totally proud by now. Thus in a disco he made a table strip dancing ! Two good looking girls even congratulated him for his body ! When they heard he had calves implements, they could not stop laughing...laughing and laughing. They said "it was the first time they heard males put silicon tits to their calves !"
Hmmmm !

Houses and cars are quite expensive and not everyone is able to buy it. Nevertheless, home loans was invented to support different people in such hard situations.
