Sleep inducing??? :couch2: :bored:

A word of caution to all the married ladies...
Never ever settle in peace with the imagination that the days of struggle with your dear mother in law are over.
There are one hundred people waiting to assume the role- of your age, your elders, your youngsters
(brace yourselves for the words that are going to follow) both male and female! :fear: :scared: :bolt:
BEWARE.

"It is a challenge to prove that we too can talk amicably in a mature manner -
without bashing anyone."

This was my lofty aim in starting this new thread.
I thought people may like to patch up their differences.:tea:

It was supposed to be a patching ground for the
people pitched against one another elsewhere. :fencing:

But now it is becoming a thread for
personal assaults and teasing "Yours faithfully"! :heh:

I gave 24 hours' time for people to enter the thread
with any useful information.

But people seem to be determined
to reduce this to a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz thread.

So it will be made from made from a
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz thread into a real
sizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzling thread very soon!:flame:

# 1. ADAM.

Adam had the good fortune that what ever he said and did very REALLY original. :clap2:

No one could tell him that he copied anyone else.:nono:

He is also the first man who listened to his wife and NOT

to his reason - setting a trend that is being austerely

followed even today.

So he was a real trend setter. :high5:

Now read the story of Sukanya (Courtesy Wilkipedia)

and answer the question at the end of the post.

In Hindu mythology, (Sanskrit: सुकन्‍या) was the daughter of Shryayati, son of Vaivasvata Manu and the wife of the great sage Chyavana.[SUP][1][/SUP]

The sage had spent so long in meditation that he was covered by a termite nest. The beautiful girl Sukanya came upon the nest and saw two shining objects inside. Not realizing these were the eyes of the sage, she poked playfully at them, and the sage was blinded.

Chyavana was enraged, and Sukanya's father placated him by offering her in marriage. After their marriage Sukanya served the sage cheerfully, despite his old age and blindness.

One day she was spotted by the Ashwini Kumaras, identical twins who served as physicians of the gods, who decided that her ethereal beauty was worthy of residence in heaven rather than languishing on the Earth serving an old blind sage. They asked her to marry one of them. Being a faithful wife, she vehemently objected to their request. Pleased with her devotion to her husband, the Ashwini Kumaras offered to restore her husband's youth and eyesight. The bargain was conditional on Sukanya's ability to distinguish her husband from the twins themselves. If she failed to do so they would return him to old age and blindness. All parties accepted these terms. The Ashwini Kumaras asked Chyavana to accompany them into the nearby pond. Being demigods, the Ashwini Kumas left no footprints on the bank as they exited the pond. Although the rejuvenated sage looked identical to the twins, he left footprints. The Ashwini Kumaras blessed the couple and left. In return they also requested that the sage give them a share of the sacrificial offerings in the future. This results in a conflict with the king of god, Indra.

#1. Riddle for today.

If Eve were asked to identify Adam from three or even

thirteen men similarly clad in leaves, could Eve spot

Adam from the rest of the look-alikes?

பாக்கிப் பேருக்கு நன்றாகத் தெரிகின்றதே!!!:shocked:

பழுது போலத் தோன்றும் ஒரு பாம்பு,
பாம்பு போலத் தோன்றும் ஒரு பழுதைக்
கொத்திக் கலவரம் செய்வதும் :target:
அத்தனை பேருக்கும் தெரிகின்றதே!!!

சிங்கம் உறும வேண்டும்; பாம்பு சீற வேண்டும்! இல்லையேல் zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz தான்!

How the wives of identical twins live with their husbands?

 

[sangom]

Dear Mr. Sangom,
If you do not read my posts then both of us are losers.
I miss a learned reader and you miss good posts -
those which appear in literature section especially.
Thanks for the prompt response.
with warm regards, ray2:

Mrs. V.R.

I am unable to look at bold fonts for more than a few seconds. So it takes much more time to read. That's why.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Mr. Sangom,

I have problem with small thin letters and my silly mistakes do not show up in them.

What to do?

I have selected colors pleasant or cool to reduce the intensity of the bold letters.

May be I can type in a big font and reduce it before posting!

How about this post? Is it OK or is it better?

Hoping that the loyal husbands will not go to the wrong wives!

Imagine if both the husbands and their wives are identical twins

and live in the same house.

May be then we don't have to worry about the confusion and mix

ups! :becky:

Green as in post#11 is least troublesome to my eyes, pl. Thank you very much for being so considerate.

 

[nannilam_balasubramanian]

May be in a joint family it happens. It appears that such instances have
appeared in Tamil Movies. But I am told that such twins have their own
identification in their movements and sometimes with their behavioral
patterns etc. to avoid mix up and embarrassment amongst themselves.
We have twins in our family and we have not heard any such problems so far.

I was surprised to read the even the best tracking dog could not sniff out identical twins one from the other.

It could find them from among others but could not tell who was who!

If this the plight of dogs with supersensitive smelling power, where do we stand?

Most people can differentiate the twins when they see them together in one place.

But when seen separately, most often the confusion lingers on! :decision:

I came in eagerly hoping to see the answer to the Adam and Eve riddle!

Adam did not have umbilical cord?!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

You are perfectly right! :clap2:
Since Adam was NOT born out of a mother,
he did not have any navel (belly button!)
So Eve could spot him out in a crowd of
any number of men!
Good thinking! Congratulation! :thumb:

Adam did not have umbilical cord?!

# 2. Benjamin Franklin

Dr. Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790) was one of the founders of U.S.A.

Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, diplomat, satirist, post master, scientist, musician, inventor, civic activist and a statesman all rolled in one!

As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment. He risked his own life for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity.

He invented the Franklin stove, the lightning rod, bifocal lenses, a carriage odometer and the glass armonica.

He formed both the first public Lending Library in America and the first Fire service in Pennsylvania.

Thirteen Virtues


Franklin bust in the
in New York City


Franklin sought to cultivate his character by a plan of 13 virtues, which he developed at age 20 (in 1726) and continued to practice in some form for the rest of his life. These 13 virtues are listed in his autobiography.

1. "Temperance. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."
   
2. "Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation."
3. "Order. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time."
4. "Resolution. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve."
5. "Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing."
6. "Industry. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions."
7. "Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly."
8. "Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty."
9. "Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve."
10. "Cleanliness. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation."
11. "Tranquility. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable."
12. "Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. "Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates."
