On another occasion, I was  talking to a friend about \"2% ... and 98%\" when all of a sudden an ad came on  about a child who was \"2% patient and 98% actor.\" What kind of coincidence was  that?\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e \u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cBR\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003cimg width\u003d'1' height\u003d'1' src\u003d'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8799344768425117304-98816235034165448?l\u003dbeautyinpageants.blogspot.com' alt\u003d'' /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://beautyinpageants.blogspot.com/feeds/98816235034165448/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d8799344768425117304\u0026postID\u003d98816235034165448","title":"2 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8799344768425117304/posts/default/98816235034165448"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8799344768425117304/posts/default/98816235034165448"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://beautyinpageants.blogspot.com/2008/10/nina-ricci-alagao-woman-of-substance.html","title":"Nina Ricci Alagao: A Woman of Substance"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"The Critique"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"}}],"thr$total":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","$t":"2"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799344768425117304.post-2739062215360600053"},"published":{"$t":"2008-09-22T09:26:00.005+08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2008-09-30T21:18:35.362+08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Oxana Federova"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Best in Swimsuit"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Best in Evening Gown"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Bitches of Miss Universe"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Lara Dutta"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Best in Interview"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Miss Universe Record Holders"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Carolina Gomez"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Record Holders of Miss Universe Pageant"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cBR\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cdiv align\u003d\"justify\"\u003eLet's take a look at these three beauty queens who had the highest scores in the history of the Miss Universe pageant with judges' scores revealed on TV.
