Romeo and Juliet

by wensum24 @ 06/11/2005 - 22:26:03

Try this my friends~~

Romeo is dead on the floor next to a pool of water and some broken glass. Juliet is asleep on the couch. The door to the room is locked and there is a window, but it is unbroken. What happened?

Answer in comments, below....

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by
eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class.

It is possible to lead cows upstairs...but not downstairs.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

was this lost to history or has it just be regurgitated?

8 Jan 1992 President George HW Bush vomits in the lap of Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi, and then faints during a state function in Tokyo. The incident spawns the Japanese slang verb bushusuru (literally, "Bushing it") to refer to puking.

~~~

Forgive me, but it is one of those occasions, whereby I cannot recall this shocking incident at all. Can anyone remember it?
How can a statesman ever live it down, after failing to keep it down.
Oh the shame.
This interests me, primarily, for the Japanese word...but what a shocker.
1992...2005...has anything changed...not really.

old siam

* The Siamese not only avoid stepping over people, but also over books

* The length of time expressed by sak kru (usually translated as immediately), means in fact, as long as it takes to boil a pot of rice

* The Siamese sew seven buttons on their jackets and five on a shorter one. For children three is the norm.

* A staircase must not have four steps, but two, three and six are allowed

* In divorce the children born with odd numbers go to the mother, the even numbered ones to the father

* During a marriage ceremony the thumbs of the newlywed are tied together with the bonds of love

* Most siamese flowers are only fragrant in the morning, when they are open, or in the evening, but not in the middle of the day.

* The Siamese eat the lamphong fruit to get up Dutch courage, in the process becoming slightly mad in the head and very excitable, babbling confused sentences for the slightest reason

* The Siamese like to give their children hideous names to make them unattractive to the demons, thus protecting them

* Admiring a cute little child would make it ill, and so its parents hang a dog's or pig's tooth around its neck to blemish the child's pretty appearance

* A Siamese shakes his head to deny something. He waves with his hand bent downwards.

* If one asks him whether he does not deny something, he nods approvingly that he does not do so

* Instead of kissing, the Siamese press their faces together and breath in

* During an eclipse of the moon, the Siamese make a great din to prevent it from being eaten up

* The Siamese call the rainbow "luster that eats water" and meteors "demons throwing torches"

Are there any superstitions which you follow, or adhere to religiously my blog buddies?

Precints, Canterbury.
A wild wet wind is whirling hither and tither all the yellow leaves of the limes, and we can see the great Church from end to end through the 'ruined choirs'.
-M.S. Holland, November 6th, 1886

One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.
-John Stuart Mill

Colour: Indianred and burylwood
Music: Amorphous Androgynous: Her tongue is Like a Jellyfish...short song, (2mins34sec), but takes my mind away...
