Parabéns

Portugal garantiu ontem, finalmente, através do atleta José Manuel Durão Barroso, a sua presença nos Jogos Olímpicos deste Verão, na modalidade Tiro, especialidade Tiro no Pé.

O deputado Louçã, também ele um grande entusiasta daquela modalidade olímpica, de imediato festejou a qualificação, disparando em todas as direcções, à moda palestiniana, com a sua TSF de 89,5mm.
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
