Jacare Banguela (.br) means literally the “Toothless Alligator”. It’s the most successful humor blog in Brazil and a powerful source of Internet memes. The most successful meme, indeed, is the one which spreads Jacare’s trademark: Any sign that mimes an alligator spread mouth (made with hands, legs, etc) eating something. Another successful meme is the “Drunken of the Week Award”, also featured above. I’ve collected some of the most creative from Brazilians all over the world to you:
Giselle Bundchen lookalike…

Every time a foreigner friend say me how violent is the US and blahblahblah I tell he or she about the incredible number of deaths every day in Brazilian slums, trench towns and downtowns. There are weekends in some cities (especially Rio de Janeiro, but also Sao Paulo and other minor metropolitan areas) where body counts can be as large as three, four, five Virginia Techs. I’m obviously not proud of this numbers, as you can imagine, but I won’t start a personal crusade either.
Well, enough said. And some numbers from World Health Organization Statistical Information System to compare the 2002 body count. This numbers are sent to WHO by the governments, so it’s all official figures.
In 2002 in Brazil the leading causes of death for men in all ages groups were:
40812 deaths from: Unattended death (R98)*
35886 deaths from: Acute myocardial infarction - Acute myocardial infarction, unspecified (I219)
22360 deaths from: Beautiful fig tree in Sombrio, Sao Paulo 2007-05-20 13:00:39

City, prohibited the billboards, now is the polluted air. This is a bit arbitrary, is it not? I am very afraid about one thing: could we have permission to fart at open air? See the this post, “an almost class” about this subject by Rico Ferrari.

22360 deaths from: A secretary or a miracle? 2007-05-14 13:00:33 Your Holiness, I have forgotten asking you a little favour.
The case is: I need desperately a secretary. Could be a modest one, like your secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, for example. Would you mind recommend me to the Almight in your prayers?
I thank you on my knees.
Sincerely yours, Ira.
Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, Pope’ secretary, also known as “Gorgeous George”.
