UNPROPHETIC STATEMENT

That Mrs. Margaret Thatcher was the first (and so far the only) woman Prime Minister of Great Britain is no more surprising. What is surprising is that for a woman renowned for her determination she did not think she would make it to the top.

In October, 1969 as a Shadow Spokesperson on Education under the Conservative Party opposition Leader, Sir Edward Heath of blessed memory, she said: "No woman in my time will be Prime Minister or Chancellor (of Exchequer) or, Foreign Secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be Prime Minister; you'll have to give yourself 100 per cent".

10 years later, this woman became the Prime Minister and ruled Great Britain for 11 years plus, consecutively. So admired by an Old Lady that she willed all her estate to her. And this was the woman who never thought Britain would have a woman Prime Minister in her lifetime. What a paradox!

FATEFUL TWIN SISTERS

Female Twins. One likes children so much that she over prepared for when she would start having them for those children to live comfortably. The other twin sister is so brutal and uncaring to children and all that has to do with them.

But see what FATE has in store for these twin sisters. At age of 35, the one that over-prepared and caring for her yet-to-be-born children hasn't gotten any of them (the children), while her other twin sister who is so uncaring and live life any way it comes has had 5 children already. And they are both physiologically alright. What a mystery of Life!

BAKASSI PENINSULA - BRITAIN LOOK-ALIKE

Bakassi and British Isle (Britain) are twin entities so look-alike that will make you ponder aloud the strange and wonderful works of Nature. Bakassi is located at Bakassi Peninsula, south western Cameroun, Central Africa - too far away to her twin sister (Britain) surrounded by North Sea (Atlantic Occean). Incidentally, too, after Germany, it was Her Majesty(Britain) Government that ruled Bakassi before ceeding it to Cameroun. What a co-incidence, you would say!
