It's always God saving people, but never him killing them. I don't get it. - ohnoerino, on 08/28/2008, -0/+23That's like something out of a cartoon.
- JFallon126, on 08/29/2008, -2/+24Why only in Brazil? Do they poop a lot or something?
- Akaziel, on 08/29/2008, -0/+18Yes, only in Brazil, with their special Brazillian Gravity/Diaper physics. This could not have happened anywhere else on earth. It JUST. COULDN'T. HAPPEN.
- hasslinthehoff, on 08/29/2008, -0/+18Unfortunately, the baby was subsequently charged with public nudity.
- procopio, on 08/29/2008, -0/+17Unfortunately, it was eaten by a anaconda hours latter.
- DeFex, on 08/29/2008, -0/+13they dont call hurricanes earthquakes floods and plane crashes "acts of god" for nothing
In the bible god killed 2,391,421 and satan only killed 10 and some of them were on a dare from god.
he is almost as good a smiter as hitler, or stalin and better than bush(so far). - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+13That's true I am form Brasil and it 's all over the news.
- Jsmuli2, on 08/29/2008, -0/+12This diaper story is FULL OF CRAP!
/couldn't help it - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+11for a second when I read the title I thought the ***** in his diapers softened his fall guess not
- ChairShot83, on 08/29/2008, -1/+11You see, Michael Jackson knew exactly what he was doing when he dangled his baby on a balcony.
- acmaurer, on 08/28/2008, -0/+10Yeah, complete with the awesome sound effects.
- Rapter09, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7How'd that End of Days quote go? God's a good publicist. Something good happens; "It's his will", something bad happens "The Lord movies in mysterious ways."
- homah, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7"only in [wherever this particular story took place]"
- daebat, on 08/29/2008, -1/+7i'm pretty sure the saying isn't "only in brazil"
- johndavidjack, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6If that diaper wouldn't have been there, that baby would've been in deep *****.
Oh wait... - uilhao, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6I lived in Brazil for 10 years, and that is the most religious country I have been to. People there leave everything up to God, they constantly use a saying that goes like this: "Seja o que Deus quiser" meaning, "So be what God wants". They just leave it up the Man instead of trying to do something themselves....
I dont blame them, the government is so corrupt and ***** the people in a way you wouldnt believe it. Their only hope is God, and unfortunately He hasnt been doing ***** for the same people who blindly believe in him....
But religious and corruption aside, it is an AMAZING COUNTRY!! The most friendly and happy people I have ever seen! The country is beautiful, the people are beautiful and creative as *****!
Anyways, I'm happy the baby was not seriously hurt. - CrushThemTorg, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6Is Brazil suddenly the new (Japan/Florida/UK) for wacky news?
- twisterrust, on 08/29/2008, -1/+7hehehe and why didn't God just stop him from jumping from the window? god is lame!
- MelvinSchlubman, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6> There's the Devil on the other side too....
Also like something out of a cartoon.
You can't make this ***** up. Oh wait - yes you can. - Niubai, on 08/29/2008, -1/+6Watch it (if your portuguese is up to date):
http://video.globo.com/Videos/Player/Noticias/0,,G ... - GliTCH82, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5If God really did save him, why didn't he just stop him from falling in the first place? God's such a showoff.
- urbandistrict, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS! (by mysterious I mean makes no sense at all)
- VigRoco, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Disposable diapers may save babies, but they won't save the world!
- DeFex, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Yes Martin Prince in the simpsons was saved by his tighty whiteys.
- nepidae, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4God threw him out the window.
- Mononuclear, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4There was a case of a baby falling (thrown) out a window and dying around 6 months ago. It seems like it is too common in Brazil.
- PabloMac, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Dang! My Portuguese expired just yesterday!
- urbandistrict, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4If the devil made lesbians, I'm on his side.
- KegBol, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3I logged in to ask that exact same question
- pipes27, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3boobsbr, usando um teclado americano fica dificil de usar os acentos. claro, e possivel, mas a maioria do povo entende assim mesmo.
And for the record, I did not point out this whole Brazil/Brasil thing because I think its spelled wrong (Nazi), but because I find this specific misuse rather annoying--primarily because its misspelled ON PURPOSE. - FeloniusMonkey, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Surprised he wasn't saved by a Peruvian... you know how they're always swooping in and saving the day at the last minute.
- W16i, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3only in brazil why? lol
- Probatus, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3"It wasn't the diaper that saved him," Massaneiro told the newspaper. "It was God."
Holy *****? - GliTCH82, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4Sorry man, he's one of ours. Something about U.S. Americans and geography, nobody really understands. We're working on it.
- ks136, on 08/30/2008, -0/+3Was that in "End of Days", or was it Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate"?
/just wondering - BossKey, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Come on, use your imagination. Surely there is a way to deploy these in a manner that would alter the course of a major world event.
Oh wait...the Republican convention is next week! - juliohm, on 08/30/2008, -0/+3God's poopy fingers.
- Mononuclear, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4Your name isn't the same thing as the name for a country. Your name is João regardless of the language. You can translate it to John if you want but personal names don't need to be translated. Names of countries however do need to be translated. When you are speaking English it is Brazil. See my examples in my comment under pipes27.
- CYR1X, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3First time I've seen Portuguese on the site.
- crossmr, on 08/30/2008, -0/+3Don't you understand. They don't wear diapers anywhere but in brazil obviously..
- joshmoney, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Does anyone else remember the almost exact same story happening before? I couldn't find it online but I swear this was on the news years ago!
/and please no jokes about there being a glitch in the matrix - shawnanigans, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Unique event!!! Only in the place where it occured!
- PabloMac, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Thanks for the concise explanation, JoaoPe. And no need for name-calling, djholybolt. Did you honestly miss the sarcasm in my post? Oh, wait, lots of people did...
- Mononuclear, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4People will understand it both ways but both ways are not correct. When speaking English you spell it with a Z. When speaking Spanish or Portuguese you spell it with an S. We say Germany not Deutschland or Alemanha when speaking English. If I were speaking Spanish then saying Espanha instead of España would not be correct. We don't call countries whatever their official name in their official language is.. English has it's own names for countries and Portuguese has it's own name for countries as well.
- Mononuclear, on 08/30/2008, -0/+3If you are going to try and argue religion at least get your side right. God can stop anything (he is all powerful) but according to Christian belief he believes in free will and allows things to happen for reasons we often can not understand. It is all a fairy tale but at least get the story right.
- Mononuclear, on 08/30/2008, -1/+4I am not saying that people won't understand it. I don't care which way you spell it. You can say it in any language you want or spell it however you want. Make up your own language and spelling for all I care.
My comment was because you said both ways were correct. I just stated that no, they are not both correct. I don't ever correct someone else's grammar mistakes but I will correct you if you try to claim that your wrong grammar is actually correct. If you say "your an idiot" I won't correct you. If you say "'your an idiot' is correct" then I will correct you. - pipes27, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4As a Brazilian, I would like to say if you're speaking English, please, just spell it in English. This is something that I find profoundly annoying. Look, this sentence is in English, and that country is Brazil.
Deixa de ser burro, Brasil com 's' e so em portugues. - danieeeell, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2i'm a brazilian but sorry it was really really funny! hauhauhauhuahua
- Mononuclear, on 08/30/2008, -0/+2rmccabe916, It does say to go off and kill people in the name of God. The same guy who received the 10 commandments (Moses) was told to kill people in the name of God.
