A priest parked his car illegally, but he was answering a higher calling!!! Does he get mercy from the law?
He was answering a higher calling. Rev. Cletus Forson got a call from a parishioner desperate to get the sacrament of the sick administered to his mother. When he got to the Brooklyn hospital, there was nowhere to park. So he pulled up in an ambulance zone, tossed his clergy parking permit on the dashboard and went in. The priest came back and found a $115 ticket on his windshield. An appeals board says that while he might have been fulfilling a religious obligation, he still broke the law and will still have to pay his parking ticket. On the bright side, people who learned of his plight last month have since donated almost $1,500.
Imagine having a twin sister and never getting to meet her…..until you’re 71 years-old?
A Wisconsin woman has finally met her sister, 71 years after they were born. It took eight years to track her other half down. The twins (Pat Gudinas and Shirley McGuire)were born to a single woman and they ended up in different foster homes and eventually at St. Joseph Orphanage on Milwaukee’s south side. Pat says they “were kept separated”, “were never in the same room with one another.” Both girls were told while they were growing up that they were adopted and had a twin. Recently a nun in Chicago who had archival materials from the orphanage provided one gal with the name of the people who adopted her twin. She hired a genealogist to track her down with the help of public records and newspaper obituaries.
Hey parents! Wanna know if your daughter is going to be a good athlete? It’s all in the size of her hands!
The length of a girl’s ring finger could be an indicator of her future sporting potential. Researchers (at King’s College London) studied hand measurements of 607 female twins aged 25-79, in comparison to the women’s lifetime sporting achievements. The findings found that women with ring fingers longer than their index fingers had performed better at running and associated running sports (like soccer and tennis). In women the ring finger is commonly shorter or the same length as the index finger, while in men the ring finger is generally longer. Docs couldn’t explain the reasons for the new findings.
