This is what I learned today ! The history of the middle finger ! Well know........... here’s something I never knew before. Now that I know that , I feel compelled to send it on to intelligent friends in hope they too , will feel edified . Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 , the French anticipating victory over the English , proposed to cut out the middle finger of all captured English soldiers . Without that finger middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English long bow and therefore would be incapable of fighting in the future . This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree , and the act of drawing was known as ‘plucking the yew (or pluck yew) . Much to the bewilderment of the French , the English won a major upset and they began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French , saying . See we can pluck yew . Since Pluck you is rather difficult , to say the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labloedentalfricative F , and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one finger salute ! It is also because of of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that symbol gesture is now known as ‘giving the bird ‘ . i have heard it explained before....

That is a hard one to manage.
Hope you are doing well as is possible.

Probably due to antibiotics for bacterial infection but then messed the bowels normal flora. So now he takes a probiotic every day.

Today I learned something’s from my grandpa’s bible . Jack Carroll , Didsbury , July 3rd 1949 . Man is a trinity - mind , body and soul . Body makes contact with natural things . Mind makes contact with other humans Spirit makes contact with God - Plus Matthew - Kingly side , Kingdom & the King Mark - Servant side Luke - Human side John - Divine side - very close to the master , Any thoughts 💭 I am curious ? Yes I turn to his bible many times when darkness is around me .

XNA I don’t understand what you are saying Mind Some people believe in a duality, a physical body and the separate mind. 2 in 1. What has been learned is that concessions emerges from the brain. It’s an emergent property of the brain. Brain dead is always mind dead. Mind or better said consciousness is where the whole becomes greater than the sum. Fold a sheet of paper into an airplane shape and paper can fly. Google ‘“emergent properties”. Their is only one of you. No ghosts in your machine. Soul The only evidence of a soul is on your foot or the bottom of your shoe. You can’t find the soul, you can’t weight the soul, you can only imagine a soul. People fear death. They don’t want life to end, so they pretend the end is not the end. Helps them cope with the finality of death.

On Monday, the Australian government announced plans to create a space agency in order to get its share of the booming space aeronautical industry, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
By Tuesday, there was a website for an organization called Australian Research and Space Exploration ― or “ARSE” for short.
They will press ahead undeterred.

What can I learn today Just read the news , noticed another prisoner was put to death . It was stated that he helped another kill 3 police officers . So lethal injection was given .
We don’t have the death penalty in Canada 🇨🇦 Once upon a time we did .
What is the 2X2 stance on this issue ? As one of the commandments is Though shall not kill ! Curious

Curious some believe it to be okay(i do) others do not...the "do nots" out number the "its okays" as far as i can tell... i have a jewish contact that says in the original hebrew it translates more like "thou shall not lay in wait to do mischief/harm" that lends itself more towards murder rather then kill....

A little confused , what does KJV state ? thou shalt not kill.....but then God turned around and had them "kill" their enemies so "kill" can't be the operative word here it has to be "murder"....so a mis-translation happened...

TY 4 your input . If you are to look at the sysnonyms , like beat , take a life , murder . It is a extremely vague line . They are the same . Human actions sometimes born out of necessary ?

In the case of killing their enemies I would think that could be considered murder. Fine line there. I agree that to kill is not always wrong, but murder is always wrong. Self defense can't be defined as murder because it certainly wasn't something someone set out to do but happened in the process of defending themselves. But again, it's a fine line imo.

I learned today that I don't bounce as well as I used to lol. Fell on ice and while I bounced just fine... I haven't bounced right back like I would have when I was younger. It's not good to fall hard when you already have 8 herniated discs! Note to self. Don't do that again!!

Sad to hear you fell . Yeah I don’t bounce back like I could do when younger . They severed all the nerves in my right foot when they removed a tumour . I have a cane to help but I don’t use it like I should . I get scolded by my doctor at every appointment . But one of this days I am going to have to put away my pride and do as I’ve been told . I fall a lot 😂 at my stupidity .

I fall a lot 😂 at my stupidity . Ya I hear you. I have nerve pain and when it hits in the thigh it makes my leg muscle go so weak that my leg gives out. When it happens in both at the same time I go down hard. Thankfully that doesn't happen that often. But this time it was just ice under snow that I didn't see. My husband fell too and bruised his ribs, so we're quite the pair at the moment.
