Weird

Youngest mother ever. Impressive!

Today some fellows showed me an incredible Wikipedia entry. Yes, weird world. Lina Medina, a Peruvian child, is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history as well. She gave birth at the age of 5 years, 7 months and 21 days, which means at four she already got pregnant!

Apparently, "her menarche had occurred at 8 months of age (or 2 1/2 according to a different article), and that she had had prominent breast development by the age of 4. By age 5 her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation" (in Wikipedia). The curiousest thing is that nobody knows who is the dad of that children. Her father is the main suspect but he never condemned due to the lack of evidences.

Anyway, by curiosity I took a look at the list of youngest birth mothers and realised the fact is that the three first children on the list are all from Peru. Worst part: they were raped...

Still should I say, impressive!

Happy SQRT Day! :)

Today we, geeks, nerds and even common mortals are celebrating the square root day! So, what the hell is that? Very simple! A Square Root day (or SQRT day) occurs when the number of the day and the number of the month are strictly equal to the the number formed by the last two digits of the year number.

So, today it's day 3 of month 3 of 2009 year, which implies that:

sqrt(9) == 3 ; quod erat demonstrandum.

Be sure to celebrate, next one will happen in 2016. Cheers!

iPhoto '09 likes Art but not Church...

I was testing the brand new iPhoto '09 and its great Faces feature when I assisted a really curious, strange and odd thing. So, I was organising my photos of my travel to Paris this Christmas. When came the Louvre part, iPhoto recognised lots of faces on the well-known painting from Jacques-Louis David, "The Coronation of Napoleon" (see the pic).

What I conclude is that iPhoto likes Art so much that it makes a real thing of that. On the other hand, iPhoto discards people connected to the Church, such as Pope Pius VII and his slaves entourage. Good software always makes the difference! Smile

Homer Simpson 1 Euro coin

A sweetshopper in the town of Avilés (Asturias, Spain) found a one euro coin with notorious Homer Simpson's face, about ten days ago.

The shopkeeper, Jose Martinez, was counting the cash when he came across this:

We can observe that instead of the majestical bust of King Juan Carlos of Spain appeared the bald head of the mystic king of the donuts, beer and burping. Citing the shopkeeper, "the coin must have been done by a professional, the work is impressive". Apparently this is an isolated work because no other Hommie's euros have been found in circulation. Remark that 20€ have been offered for it. Crazy! Laughing out loud
