Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
The Facts of the Life
Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....
Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip
Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!
Please try this out.............
ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?
Some spooky facts about 11.
How spooky are the following facts!!!
This is definitely weird..... read on.....
11 has become a very interesting number. It could be a forced
coincidence, but in any case the following is very interesting. Have a read and decide for your self:
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in 1993)
has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence.... could it be true???? Now here is what is interesting.
1) New York is the state 11.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight no 11.
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. Add this 6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known, 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
6) The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding 9+1+1+= 11.
Now this is very upsetting.
1) The total number of victims inside the planes were 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
2) The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 + = 11. Leaving 111 days left in the year.
3) The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds up to 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers. 9+1+1= 11
Eight Unknown Facts About Sir Isaac Newton
His Birth Was Premature
Isaac Newton wasn't expected to survive as he was born prematurely. It is said that he was so small when he was born that he could have fit inside a quart mug.
He Was Almost a Farmer
Newton's mother insisted that he becomes a farmer when he was 17 because he was born in a farming family. If it weren't for his uncle, he would have never attended Trinity College in Cambridge.
He Kept His Publications Secret
Although majority of Newton's discoveries were made when he was in his early to mid twenties, he didn't publish them until many years later. This resulted in many arguments over credit.
The True Story About Newton and His Apple
We always heard of a story that Newton was walking around his garden at Woolsthorpe Manor when he saw a falling apple, inspired by which he formulated the theory of universal gravitation. But Newton himself said that he was in his house staring through the window when he saw an apple fall from a tree.
Newton Was an Alchemist
Newton had a secret interest in alchemy. His studies regarding alchemy (the making of gold and silver from a base metal) were kept secret as it was a crime under an act of 1404. He recorded his studies in willfully cryptic language.
Newton Was Extremely Religious
Even though people use Newton's work, particularly the law of motion and universal gravitation to argue against the existence of God, Newton himself was extremely religious. He used to say that, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done." Despite his deep religious belief, Newton didn't believe the existence of spirits and ghosts.
Newton Was Passionate About The Bible
Newton was so passionate about Bible that he wrote more about religion than about science and mathematics! He calculated the date of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ as April 3, A.D. 33. He even predicted that the Jews would return to Israel. He was also passionate to find the hidden meanings in the Bible.
As a Politician He Uttered Just One Sentence
Newton served as a Member of Parliament for exactly one year (1689 - 1690). During all the lengthy proceedings, he spoke only once: he asked a nearby person to close an open window!
