Hi You, I've never seen a Grounghog in my life (never thought they existed) but about 100 years ago while at school we as kids learnt a rhyme that goes: How much ground can a Grounghog grind if a Groundhog could grind ground? As kids are we quickly discovered the chinese guys were having difficulty in pronouncing the 'r'. For us it was hilarious. About a month ago when I was in Shanghai I actually told my chinese friend to practise it to improve her tongue on the 'r'. Once again after so many years we had a good laugh.
Hi Sweet You are so right. It reminds me of the one I heard about a guy complaining about his worn shoes and then he met a man without feet. Be thankful for what one has.
That’s why scientists advise to keep a close watch on the prisoners, and suggest the policemen to be more alert than usual during the time of full moon. There may a few “loonies” wandering the streets.
Animals are also influenced by the moon. One study repots that animals are twice as likely to bite people during the time of full moon. Take to your consideration the creatures of legends and myths. Thus werewolves need the light of the full moon to display the change, and vampires walk the night beneath the light of the moon.
All these facts confirm that it should come as no surprise that, when the moon is full, some people may suffer from insomnia, nightmares, strange dreams, and some people even sleepwalk. There is one more interesting fact that some people sleep better when the moon is full, even if its shine falls into their faces.
mila.yes I like to treat a woman as I would like to be treated, with respect but sometimes I guess the difference in thinking (male and female) causes one to forget the true meaning of respect. At times respect, is refraining from imposing your own particular views and wills on each other.
Im learning as I research.Sometimes scar facts.Everybody knows such expression as “mood madness”, in fact, it close to the truth. The word “lunatic” is descended from the Latin word “luna” that means moon. You may not believe that the moon can cause a person to go mad, but the full moon seems to have an effect on emotional condition. It has been noticed that cell block fights, riots and general contention among inmates increase in the periods of full moon.
aswina so good to see you. But,,,Many disorders seem to follow the phases of the moon. Epilepsy and headaches often follow this cycle. Some people don’t sleep on the night of the full moon. Scientists have proved that the phases of the moon really have an effect on the mind.
Actually, the Moon has influenced life and the mind of people since the beginning of time. The cave men believed that the Moon was a God. They picture it in many cave drawings. Down through the ages and even today many cultures and religions worship the Moon. The heathen religion, for example, is very Moon Oriented.
