Who is The Bravest Girl In The World?

Young and brave activist girl was shot by the Taliban, her crime? She wanted to go to school. She falls in my list as the bravest girl in the world. What do you think?

On that fateful day, she told her friends...“Don’t worry. The Taliban have never come for a small girl.” With those words, the brave girl attempted to reassure her friend Moniba, frightened by the threats Malala and her family had been receiving all year.

In her autobiography I Am Malala , she writes...“I wasn’t scared,” , “but I had started making sure the gate was locked at night and asking God what happens when you die.”

In a country that’s seen more than its share of violence, the fate of one teenager, a brave girl might not seem to count for much. But somehow Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan has managed to become an international inspiration. She was only 11 when she took on the Taliban, demanding that girls be given full access to school. Her campaign received global attention, a prelude to even more extraordinary events.

Taliban assassins attacked Malala, then 15, on her way home from school, shooting her in the head.

Before being attacked, Malala often wondered what she would do if a terrorist ever jumped out and shot her. “Maybe I’d take off my shoes and hit him,” she writes. “But then I’d think that if I did that, there would be no difference between me and a terrorist. It would be better to plead, ‘Okay, shoot me, but first listen to me. What you are doing is wrong. I’m not against you personally. I just want every girl to go to school.’”

She had no time to plead when that day arrived. “Who is Malala?” the masked man asked as he leaned in over her and her friends on the bus taking them home from school. Malala, who was the only girl with her face uncovered, remembers: “My friends say he fired three shots. The first went through my left eye socket and out under my left shoulder. I slumped forward onto Moniba, blood coming from my left ear, so the other two bullets hit the girls next to me…My friends later told me the gunman’s hand was shaking as he fired.”

Of her miraculous recovery, Malala says: “It feels like this life is not my life. It’s a second life. People have prayed to God to spare me and I was spared for a reason—to use my life for helping people.”

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises” says Dr. Fi
