Top 7 World’s Most Expensive Bottles of Alcohol Posted: 6 months ago by leopoldogolba
I bet you’ve wondered at some point in your life — what is the most that someone has paid for a serving of alcohol? If not — then you are not qualified to read this post. I recently visited Monaco, where the Monegasque live a lavish lifestyle — so lavish that even if I were a millionaire, it would not suit me. There is a suave club there called Jimmy’s, where a single drink (even a mixed cocktail) weighs in at €36 — roughly $53. That’s enough to make most people cringe. Though, what I am about to show you will dwarf that $53 drink and make it seem like spending a nickel that you found under your bed

Did she get a restraining order against her paparazzo boyfriend? When was the last time she saw her kids? How many Rite Aids has she visited this week?

Do You Know What Mormons Really Believe? Posted: 6 months ago by leopoldogolba
The LDS Church is the only true church. The Lord told Joseph Smith personally that all other churches are an "abomination." Any non-Mormon church is automatically part of the "church of the devil." No other church has the valid priesthood. The devil has even made a pact with many Christian pastors to teach Christian doctrines about the Trinity and salvation by grace. But in public we say that all religions are good and have some truth.

You can control your music all by the sense of touch. Design wise, it’s pretty slick, like a dollop of shiny mercury backed by some creamy marshmallow puff. Mmm mmm!

8 Chimpanzee Stars Posted: 6 months ago by leopoldogolba
Chimpanzees, along with gorillas and orangutans, are our closest relatives among all the animals on the planet. Chimps are intelligent, artistic, emotional, and so darn cute! On the other hand, you could say that about human movie and TV stars. But chimpanzees have some extra advantages in entertainment: they are small, they look funny dressed as humans because of the relative size and shape of their arms and legs, and they have few inhibitions. Plus, they don’t demand large salaries or champagne in their dressing rooms!
