I just found this in our gothic forum... it was from Rhoniel and it is quite interesting though only Rizal himself seems to know if it's true..:
An article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer records some Philippine urban legends: the "White Lady" of Balete Drive, Robina Gokongwei's "snake twin" lurking in department store dressing rooms, the elusive "kapre" that lives in an ancient mango tree near the Emilio Aguinaldo house in Kawit town, and Andres Bonifacio's love child from a place aptly named Libog (now Santo Domingo) in Albay province. None of those mean much to me. But most of the article is devoted to discussing two other Philippine legends that are of more general interest. The first one is that Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, "was the father of Adolf Hitler, the result of an indiscretion with a prostitute in Vienna." The second one is that Jose Rizal was also Jack the Ripper:
Rizal was in London from May 1888 to January 1889, in the British Library copying "Sucesos de las islas Filipinas" by hand because there were no photocopying machines at the time. Jack the Ripper was active around this time, and since we do not know what Rizal did at night or on the days he was not in the library, some people would like to believe Rizal is suspect. They argue that when Rizal left London, the Ripper murders stopped. They say that Jack the Ripper must have had some medical training, based on the way his victims were mutilated. Rizal, of course, was a doctor. Jack the Ripper liked women, and so did our own Rizal. And -- this is so obvious that many overlooked it -- Jose Rizal's initials match those of Jack the Ripper!
Rumor on Rizal

9 Words Women Use and Their Meaning
1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right
and you need to shut up.
2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five
minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes
to watch the game before helping around the house.
3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and
you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in
'fine'.
4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often
misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and
wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about
nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can
make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before
deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say
you're welcome.
8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying @&*% YOU!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is
now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?"
For the woman's response refer to #3.
This isn't mine, my friend gave me this and I found it to be amazingly true for me, i don't know about anyone else so, basically that's where the HE community comes in. I wanna know if this applies to you.
If your a girl, obviously to yourself
If your a boy, to any of the women in your life
and you need to shut up.

9 Words Women Use and Their Meaning
Oh crap... I have been very busy today...
- 12 am: I was making my slogan in Physics. Then I had some chat with Von and Charm
- about 2am: I talked to my boyfriend on the phone while doing my slogan...
- 3am: I started to feel sleepy. Unfortunately, I can't go to sleep yet because I'm still not yet done with my slogan. Good thing that he kept me awake by singing songs while making the guitar and making me laugh. (Thanks for that!)
- about 3:30 am: I finished my slogan. (Still on the phone...)
- 4am: Our conversation ended when the alarms rang and the people in our house woke up.
- 5am: I had to get ready and go to school. While in school, as usual, I learn stuff, blah blah blah...
- I learned that "There is a thin line between foolishness and bravery."
Well, I don't have much time this. I'll just be editing this next time. - It's already our periodical exam next week. Yet, it seems like we've got nothing to review on our elective. No books, no lessons, no tests, tentative subject teacher, very few lectures, and just experiments. (This makes me kinda worry... What the heck am I supposed to review then?)
- 5pm: I reached home, had a rest, and started studying and surfing the web.
- 9pm: Fixing my blog, and going to study for the upcoming chapter tests.
- By this time: Still awake, most probably, studying, reading, reviewing, eating, etc.
A Whole Day Without Sleep...
By studying the book, The Puppet Masters by Colonel John Hughes-Wilson, I therefore discovered another reason why the Catholic Church started the practice of confession a long time ago...
The confession was simply... a way of intelligence collection by the Roman Empire; using the preists as the eyes and ears of Europe (spies).
Excerpts:
- The Church was so all powerful, so all encompassing of peoples' lives in the
Middle Ages that its intelligence collection and reporting function is often
simply overlooked or taken for granted, just as it was in its heyday from
about AD 700-1500. Of course, the Church reported everything to Rome. That
was what it was for. That was its job.
So okay, I hope you get the point... The confessional functions as an information collection blah blah blah...
To follow up something, here's another excerpt from the same chapter of where this topic was found:
- ... The sacrament of confession and penance rested on the simple theory that
sin - except for the most mortal crimes of all - could be purged and cleared by
confessing all to God's ordained priest. He, drawing on the somewhat dubious
authority of Matthew's Gospel was endowed with the power of none other than
Christ himself to forgive sins.
(Therefore... priests were not really meant to.. well, 'you know what.' )
Well, that was one of Rome's strategy in intelligence collection during their time. And that was the real use of confession. Anyway, as time passes by, confession just became an ordinary practice for average Christians. Or should I say... Catholics.
Knowing the reality behind confessionals...
