Here’s an amazing story, this could not have happened 50 years ago, we live in a strange world!!

A baby boy who as a frozen embryo was saved from the flood spawned by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 has been born in a hospital in the New Orleans area and named for Noah, who safely navigated the biblical flood.
After the hurricane, authorities saved his embryo and others stored at a hospital where they had been in danger of thawing amid the flood engulfing the area.”

Maybe they should have called him Moses? Afterall, Moses survived floating on the water when he was a baby!

NEED to get a life? Nicael Holt, a 24-year-old man from Wollongong, is selling his to the highest bidder.
All of Mr Holt’s worldly possessions, including his name, bed and clothes, are up for grabs on internet auction site eBay.
Bidding started at $1 on Monday and by 8pm yesterday had risen to $310.
Under the heading “New Life For Sale”, Mr Holt’s eBay site boasts of the skills, friendships and flirtations the new Mr Holt will be entitled to.
“Will introduce to all my friends and potential lovers (around eight which I have been flirting with),” he said.
“I have around 15 close friends and around 170 other friends. Friends will treat you exactly as they have treated me.
“This includes friends who take me surfing, running, climbing and cook for me. All of these features will be transferred over to the winning applicant.”
But there is a downside.
“I have two nemeses,” Mr Holt said.
And a disclaimer: “Please note winning bidder does not receive ownership of the following: degrees/qualifications, drivers licence, passport, future inheritance and formal/legal identity,” Mr Holt said.
On the upside, the winning bidder will take possession of 300 CDs, Mr Holt’s childhood photos, surfboard and a bike with wonky handlebars.
The new Mr Holt will also get a four-week training course including “training in becoming me”, “piercings to the value of $180” and “lessons in my personal history (the good and the bad stuff)”.
Bidding, by men or women, ends on Tuesday.

I reckon one of the tests of whether someone is doing something good, is whether you would go to their church.
I would go to this guys church, if ever I am in Las Vegas again, I will make sure I am there Sunday.
