Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood the number is reduced to a
mere 206. The reason is that many of the bones of children are composed of
smaller component bones which will fuse together as the baby grows up.
The skull bones of a baby form a good example.
The baby's skull consists of 29 bones at birth but these fuse together to
make the solid skull of an adult.
This makes it easier for the baby to pass through the birth canal.
These bones harden and fuse as the children grow.

What has age got to do with proximity?
I have noticed this is the Indian way of thinking...husband and wives as they become old sometimes even have different rooms to sleep in.
Old ladies should be encouraged to still share same bed with husband and be as close as possible with him right up till old age.
Only then they will be happy and satisfied and not try to bother their son and their Daughter In Law.
An idle mind is a Devils workshop.
I have noticed communities that still advice close proximity right up till old age have the least MIL vs DIL fights.

After a certain age, physical proximity even like embracing become painful.
People are unaware of their own strength. :scared:
Once I got slapped on my back by a distant cousin of my husband.
It was definitely more than a mere friendly slap. It was an assault.
I wriggled with pain for many days afterwards.
I do not know what was her deep rooted grudge against me! :noidea:

a little shorter at the end of the day than at the beginning.

Grantham is an ancient script used by our ancestors. In Grantham, there are many
important Puranas and Inthihasams. Some say Grantham is the name applied to the
script used in Tamil Nadu for writing the Sanskrit language. It is also said that the word
Grantham mainly signifies the literary work in Sanskrit. Further, some section of people
mention that the script used for writing the Sanskrit works are obtained the same name.
It is also mentioned that the Grantham alphabets are the descendant emerging during
the 5th century AD or so. Above all, it is also stated that most of the present day alphabets
of Southern India are from Grantham, and it has further had an effect on the Sinhala and
Thai alphabets too. There is a strong feeling still emerges that Grantham is an ancient
script which is used to write Sanskrit . Further it is also ascertained that the Grantham
was used extensively in South India to write Sanskrit even as early as the 1900's.
As a result, i.e. consequent on the emergence of Devanagari in India as the common
script, Grantham has slowly disappeared. Now a days, it is used only in Vedic Pathashalas and
could also be noted in Libraries where Manuscripts are preserved . Nothing is known
about its official encoding. If some action is taken for encoding Grantham Script into Unicode
it would help us in reviving the script. There are many valuable inputs are there in
Grantham. For example, long long years back, many things are said about the water and
sand in the Moon, the earth is round, etc in the Grantham literatures. which are of late
studied by a few westerners who have an access to that. If India takes interest in reviving
the script and find out the old treasures, all present days scientific developments could be
equated to that of our ancient treasure.

The strongest muscle in the human body is the tongue.
While we may not be able to press much with our tongue,
it is in fact the strongest muscle in your body in proportion to its size.
Every time we eat, swallow or talk we use our tongue,
ensuring it gets quite a workout throughout the day.
Small wonder that tongue-lashes leave
deeper wound-marks than those by a whip! :whip:

The hardest bone in the human body is the jawbone.
The next time someone suggests you take it on the chin,
you might be well advised to take their advice
as the jawbone is one of the most durable and
hard to break bones in the body.
But one word of caution....!!!
It might get unhinged and result in a permanent gaping mouth!
My father had told us the classic case of a woman in our village
who yawned so wide that the lower jaw came off its hinge.
My father had to use the right-tight-fright technique to get it back
into the hinge. He proposed to drop a live red charcoal in her
mouth to set right.
The proposal had it desired effect and the mouth got shut out of
sheer fright and shock!!!
I am sure she never again DARED to yawn for the rest of her life!

We use 200 muscles to take one step!!!
Depending on how we divide up muscle groups, just to take a single step we
need to use somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 muscles. :shocked:
That’s a lot of work for the muscles considering most of us take about 10,000
steps a day! Can you guess the use of muscles in persons who have taken
sports or dancing as their career??? :dizzy:

Tulasi is the Vasasthalam of Sri Mahavishnu. The leaves are supposed to
be the shapes of Goddess Mahalakshmi. Further, it is also said that it is
the swaroopam of Sri Lakshmi Narayanan. If a person plants a Tulasi at
home, he/she gets relieved from poverty, disease, dhristhi, dhosham, and
also brings Lakshmi Kadaksham. Better to go around every day three times
a day after chanting the Tulasi Gayathri. It is also a medicinal plant and it
has a long list of usages for men, women and children. To be very precise,
it improves poor digestion, lack of appetite, constipation, etc. Tulasi decoction
can be used as a substitute to tea. Each part of the plant has its own
sanctity. Olden days, people used to use tulasi along with ginger, neem (Veppam tree)
gum, ajwan seeds, some local leaf, etc to stop excessive bleeding of ladies.

The tooth is the only part of the human body that can’t repair itself.
If we have ever chipped a tooth we know just how sadly true this one is.
The outer layer of the tooth is enamel which is not a living tissue.
Since it’s not alive, it can’t repair itself, leaving your dentist to do the work instead.
Tooth enamel is stronger than gold, silver and bronze.

Corruption in India is a cultural aspect.
Indians seem to think nothing peculiar about corruption . It is everywhere.
Indians tolerate corrupt individuals
rather than correct them.
No race can be congenitally corrupt.
But can a race be corrupted by its culture?
To know why Indians are corrupt ,
look at their patterns and practices .
First:
Religion is transactional in India.
Indians give God cash and anticipate
an out-of-turn reward.
Such a plea acknowledges that
favours are needed for the undeserving.
In the world outside the temple walls,
such a transaction is named- “bribe”.
A wealthy Indian gives not cash to temples,
but gold crowns and such baubles.
His gifts can not feed the poor. His pay-off is for God.
He thinks it will be wasted if it goes to a needy man.
In June 2009, The Hindu published
a report of Karnataka minister
G. Janardhan Reddy gifting
a crown of gold and diamonds worth
Rs 45 crore to Tirupati.
India’s temples collect so much that
they don't know what to do with it.
Billions are gathering dust in temple vaults.
When Europeans came to India they built schools.
When Indians go to Europe & USA, they build temples.
Indians believe that if God accepts money for his favours,
then nothing is wrong in doing the same thing.
This is why Indians are so easily corruptible.
Indian culture accommodates such transactions morally.
There is no real stigma. An utterly corrupt Jaya Lalita
( She recently lost an election in North India) can
make a comeback, just unthinkable in the West.
Second -
Indian moral ambiguity towards corruption
is visible in its history.
Indian history tells of the capture of cities
and kingdoms after guards
were paid off to open the gates, and
commanders paid off to surrender.
This is unique to India.
Indians' corrupt nature has meant limited
warfare on the subcontinent.
It is striking how little Indians have actually
fought compared to
ancient Greece and modern Europe.
The Turks’ battles with Nadir Shah
were vicious and fought to the finish.
In India fighting wasn't needed,
bribing was enough to see off armies.
Any invader willing to spend cash
could brush aside India’s kings,
no matter how many tens of thousands
soldiers were in their infantry.
Little resistance was given by the Indians
at the “Battle” of Plassey.
Clive paid off Mir Jaffar and all of
Bengal folded to an army of 3,000.
There was always a financial
exchange to taking Indian forts.
Golconda was captured in 1687
after the secret back door was left open.
Mughals vanquished Marathas
and Rajputs with nothing but bribes.
The Raja of Srinagar gave up
Dara Shikoh’s son Sulaiman to
Aurangzeb after receiving a bribe.
There are many cases where Indians
participated on a large scale in
treason due to bribery.
Question is: Why Indians have a
transactional culture while
other 'civilized' nations don't?
Third -
Indians do not believe in the theory that they all can rise
if each of them behaves morally, because that is not
the message of their faith.
Their caste system separates them.
They don't believe that all men are equal.
This resulted in their division and
migration to other religions .
Many Hindus started their own
faith like Sikh, Jain, Buddha
and many converted to
Christianity and Islam.
The result is that Indians
don't trust one another .
There are no Indians in India ,there are
Hindus ,Christians, Muslims and what not.
Indians forget that 400 years ago
they all belonged to one faith.
This division evolved an unhealthy culture.
The inequality has resulted in a corrupt society,
In India every one is thus against everyone else,
except God and even he must be bribed.
CAN WE CHANGE OUR MIND SET???

Granted that there is much out here that should make us pause and think.
Can you give us a link to the source or is this report a ‘cut and paste’ material, or part of your own dissertation? Much of the material, however, has the imprint of the sterile thought process of Abrahamic pastors.

Lazy people out there shouldn’t use this as motivation to not work out, however. :couch2:

This fact should be a motivation to get off the couch and get moving. :bowl:

Refer to your Post#1569 on 8/19/2012 8:56 PM
And my subsequent query in Post#1571 about the source for yourinformation.
“The other side of the coin….” What coin are you talking about?
I asked you about source of your information. And you dodged that question. Let me tell you where you got it from. Here it is:

What you did was CUT and PASTE
Now, you could have avoided being labeled as a plagiarist. Why did you avoid giving us the link?
When I read your post #1569, I had a strange feeling of “déjà vu”, in the sense that the whole thing looked like what an evangelical Christian would have written.
Which makes me wonder: are you a Christian wearing the mask of a Brahmin?

Bone is stronger than some steel.
This doesn’t mean that our bones can’t break.
Of course they do as they are much less dense than steel.
Bone has been found to have a tensile strength of 20,000 psi
while steel is much higher at 70,000 psi.
Steel may be heavier http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/20953 than bone, but
pound for pound bone is the stronger material.

Healthy hip bone and the one affected by Osteoporosis.
Human bone is as strong as granite in supporting weight.
A block of bone the size of a matchbox can support 9 tonnes!!!
That is four times as much as concrete can support.
Bone structure is not solid even in the solid bone matrix.
If bone is made into a block like concrete
it will be four times stronger than it.
