So I was lurking the "Glurge" section of the Snopes.com messageboards, and found this little gem:

Pam knows about the pain of considering abortion. More than 21 years ago, she and her husband, Bob, were serving as missionaries to the Philippines and praying for a fifth child. Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in a contaminated food or drink. She entered into a coma and was treated with strong antibiotics before they discovered she was pregnant. Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own safety and told her that the medicines had caused irreversible damage to her baby. She refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted. The doctors "didn't think of it as a life, they thought of it as a mass of fetal tissue," Pam said. While pregnant, Pam nearly lost their baby four times but refused to consider abortion. She recalled making a pledge to God with her husband, "If you will give us a son, we'll name him 'Timothy,' and we'll make him a preacher.” Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and, eventually, gave birth to a health baby boy August 14, 1987. Pam's youngest son is indeed a preacher. He preaches in prisons, makes hospital visits, and serves with his father's ministry in the Philippines. He also plays football. Pam's son is Tim Tebow. Last year, the University of Florida 's star quarterback, became the first sophomore in history to win college football's highest award, the
Heisman Trophy. Tim's notoriety and the family's inspiring story have given Pam numerous opportunities to speak on behalf of women's centers across the country. She was the keynote speaker at the Oct. 23, 2008, benefit banquet for two Louisville ministries. A Woman's Choice Resource Center offers such services as free pregnancy tests, post-abortion counseling, adoption information, and material support. Necole's Place is a companion ministry that provides support services for women in need. Several Louisville-area Kentucky Baptist churches and Long Run Baptist Association help support both ministries. A Woman's Choice board chairman, John Schmitt, reported at the banquet that in the 20 years since the resource center opened, 4,500 children have been saved from abortion -- 400 in this year alone. Speaking of the thousands of lives saved, Pam Tebow said, "That just blows my mind. Every little baby you save matters."

My rage isn't about the abortion. I'm pro-choice, and it's her choice not to terminate the pregnancy. My problem with this sappy little story is the following:
"If you will give us a son, we'll name him 'Timothy,' and we'll make him a preacher.”
If you will give us a son. As in, a son is a blessing. A daughter will not be. No, we're not asking for a healthy baby. A SON. Oh, and he'll be a preacher, because we say so. Never mind if he has no calling whatsoever to be a preacher, we shall make him one.

So yes, today my Calculus exam went horribly. I was used to my usual 19/20 in Maths in high school. I did spend lots of time studying, but I wasn't actually concentrating.
The fact that I was going to fail only sunk in yesterday evening. I was so nervous I nearly threw up and I didn't fall asleep until 2am.
I wore a nice hound tooth pattern skirt, bright blue shirt and tall boots. If I'm going to fail, why not do it in style, right? Luckily, I sat next to one of my new friends at college, Angela. About one hour into the test, she turned it in. I was getting hungry, and I knew very well that I had no idea how to answer the last 1/4, so 5 minutes later, I did the same thing and went with her and the rest of the gang to McDonald's. I was surprised to see how many people were outside already, seeing as we had 3 hours to complete it.
Oh well. I knew very well that I was going to take it again in February. I'll be sure to study harder next time.

On this thread on Yahoo!Answers, somebody asks the following question:
I'm spanish, and i'd say i'm white, well i have tanned skin, but i say i'm white. And also i'd say all my friends and family are white.
But what do other countries say?

The following gems ensue:
