How large does the common marmoset grow?
Most adult common marmosets range from five and a half to eight inches in length.
What does ser pai e' ser amigo mean?
Spanish
The person who wrote that had a problem with the keyboard so what he/she wanted to say cannot be translated, I can't even understand it. 'Ser' means 'to be', the last word, "amigo", means "friend". The first part cant be translated, but as it seems to me, its not important at all.
It might be a bilingual slight misprint for:
''Ser 'pal'' es 'ser amigo'' = 'To be 'pal' is 'to be (a) friend', as if an English-speaker is explaining the meaning of the word 'pal' to a Spanish-speaker, but in inaccurate Spanish, often a problem with bilingual communication.
Portuguese
Translation: Being a father and being a friend.

Eureka is an expression which was made famous by the scientist Albert Einstein who made many great advances in science.
Eureka is also a small town in which a show that is on the Sci Fi channel is based off of.
Many people also may use the word in the sentence "it was a Eureka moment" meaning that they all of a sudden had a great idea.

Is Ocegueda a name from Portugal?
The name 'Ocegueda' may be a name from Portugal or from Spain. That's especially the case all along the Portuguese-Spanish border. Specifically, it's back and forth across Portugal's border with the extreme southwestern Spanish province of Galicia that one family's name may be found among Spanish, Portuguese and Galician speakers or in Spanish, Portuguese and Galician forms.
For example, the way in which the name 'Ocegueda' is spelled tends to be considered a local or regional variant on the Spanish feminine noun 'cequera' for 'blindness'. But the word in Portuguese is similar: 'cegueira'.
