ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Is it true that those who opened the tomb of King Tut met
untimely deaths?
Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to King
Tutankhamen's tomb, and archaeologist Howard Carter entered
the king's burial chamber on February 17, 1923. About three
weeks later, Lord Carnarvon was bitten by a mosquito and
fell ill. The press immediately jumped to the sensational
conclusion that King Tut's tomb was cursed. When Lord
Carnarvon's bite became infected and he died about a month
after that, the legend seemed to become fact and numerous
rumors were born - none of them true. It was said, for
instance, that Lord Carnarvon's pet canary had been eaten by
a cobra on the day the tomb was opened. Not true. It was
said that over the door to King Tut's tomb was an
inscription that read "Death shall come on swift wings to
him that toucheth the tomb of the Pharaoh." It's simply not
true. It was also said that most of the people present at
the opening of the tomb met untimely deaths. Not true.
Egyptologist Herbert E. Winlock examined the evidence twelve
years after the opening and found that of the 26 people
present when the tomb was opened, six had died over the next
decade. Of the ten people who had actually been present for
the unwrapping of the mummy, none had died. In fact, most of
those who had had the MOST to do with the tomb opening were
not affected at all. What really happened was simple: every
time something happened to someone who had been there, the
press played it up as a result of the "curse".
Is it true that the ancient Egyptians mummified cats?
Yes. In fact, they mummified many animals, both household
and sacred. Among the animal mummies found are monkeys,
birds, cats, ducks, dogs, rams, crocodiles, frogs, and fish.
Some of the hundreds of ibis and cat mummies found are
apparently offerings brought by pilgrims to be mummified and
presented to the gods whose form they shared. (Bastet, for
instance, was associated with cats.) However, many dog, cat,
and bird mummies were beloved pets, mummified in order to
remain with their owners in the afterlife. The ancient
Egyptians saw nothing odd about mummifying animals, as they
made no essential distinction between animals and humans.

Here's To Think On . . . with Ken Darby
-----------------
Your Actions Speak So Loudly!
Emerson once said "Your actions speak so loudly, I cannot
hear what you say to the contrary."
He was right. The point today is to have you think about
what do your actions tell your public.
And I do it with a joke. Just look at how the actions of the
following people permit this joke writer to come up with
these points of view. Think about how accurate they are.
Why did the chicken cross the road?:
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it
obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of
your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's
what "they" call it: the "other side." Yes, my friends, that
chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will
become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort
out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with
seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That
chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain
and simple as that.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hardworking
American.
DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it
with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it
crossed, I've not been told!
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all
chickens will be free to cross roads without having their
motives called into question.
GRANDP A: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed
the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road,
and that was good enough for us.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.
SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and
we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
RONALD REAGAN: What chicken?
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has
gone before.
FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes.
How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?
MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road.
Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies
whatever motive there was.
FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the
chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual
insecurity.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 98, which will not
only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important
documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is
an inextricable part of eChicken.
EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the
road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken.
What do you mean by chicken? Could you define chicken
please?
IMMANUEL KANT: The chicken was acting out of a sense of duty
to cross the road, as chickens have traditionally crossed
roads throughout history.
THE BIBLE: And God came down from the heavens, and He said
unto the chicken, Thou shalt cross the road." And the
chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?
RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I
repeat, the chicken did not cross the road. I don't know any
chickens. I have never known any chickens.

A Few Thoughts To Share On Hormones
And Their Actions
PART 7 of 22
The thyroid is situated in the front of your neck and
cushions the parathyroid glands. Feel your way down
your throat (trachea), and come to the space just above
the V. stay on the “rings” and you will feel the
thyroid gland. If it’s in good working order (and
that’s what you want,) you would need to guess at the
exact location. It is soft and blends into the throat
area. The thyroid is responsible for growth hormones
(can you see how there is much cross-over in hormonal
activities?) Not only do these control growth of your
body, but also the growth of your cells. Two important
hormones are secreted by the thyroid gland: thyroxine
and thyrocalcitonin. They are common in our medical
language now. Thyroxine helps to regulate the metabolic
rate of all body cells. This is the rate at which cells
burn fuels from food to produce energy. Metabolism is
the physical and chemical processes and reactions
happening in your body. It is the generation of heat
and energy by your cells. Energy production is
important as it relates to the ability of your cells to
use oxygen. And you know that oxygen is essential for
life. Thyrocalcitonin helps regulate the calcium (and
phosphorous) levels, mainly in the bones of your body.
(This has to do with balance of the electrolyte system
in your body.)
Here is a very important point. As the level of thyroid
hormones increases in the bloodstream, so does the
speed at which chemical reactions occur in the body.
Can you see how relatively easy it would be to test for
abnormal thyroid conditions? A decrease in thyroid
hormone production can result in decreased energy
(lethargy), slow heart rate, dry skin, weight gain,
constipation, and feeling cold all the time. You can
feel this sluggish metabolism. This condition is called
hypothyroidism. Remember that a slow pulse reflects a
slow heart rate and that can translate into too little
or inadequate amounts of red blood cells carrying
oxygen and other life-sustaining elements throughout
your body. But if you have too much thyroid hormone
being secreted, it creates the opposite result. Too
much thyroid hormone may result in weight loss,
nervousness, tremors, excessive sweating, increased
heart rate and blood pressure, protruding eyes, and a
swelling in the neck, a very noticeable Adam’s apple
(goiter). This condition is called Hyperthyroidism. If
you think this through, you would understand that your
entire body functions would be speeded up, using moiré
fuel that normal.

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
Well, I see the crowds are now fleeing as fast as they can
from Mel Gibson. Where, once, he was asked to support
political candidates those candidates are now leaving him
hang in his own mess, separating themselves as much as
possible from him.
That speaks pretty highly of the shallowness and greed of
political candidates. If they want a man who is riding high
in public opinion to endorse them, yet flee like rats from a
sinking ship when that person might need their help, makes
me wonder who we put into political office. If they are no
more principled than that you can imagine the mess they can
make in politics.
I guess that's why politicians are frowned upon. Self
centered greed.
Israel has decided to go even deeper into Lebanon in an
attempt to get all rocket launching sites they can.
Hezbollah launches rockets into Israel with consistent
regularity and Israel wants to penetrate as deep into
Lebanon as they can to minimize as much Hezbollah rocket
launching as they can.
In the Philippines they are concerned that the moon's
gravitational pull could set off Mayon, the currently active
volcano.
Venezuela has severed political ties with Israel. In and of
itself that may not mean a great deal on the world stage,
except, in my opinion, it could be a harbinger for more such
things to come. It seems as if there is a polarization going
on where the world at large is saying it doesn't like the
things the US is doing. This Venezuelan act isn't so much
against Israel as it is a signal to the US.
And lastly, the Indian state of Kerala has banned all
manufacturing and sale of Coke and Pepsi. Reports have shown
these products contain levels of pesticides far in excess of
what is safe.
Have a good one folks.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Abraham's Bosom: Why are good people who have died supposed
to rest in, or on, "Abraham's bosom"?
Because it indicates the just deserts of the holy. It was
the custom among the ancients for a person to allow a dear
friend to recline on his bosom while eating. Only the dead
who have gone to Heaven and there been welcomed by Abraham
could hope to recline on his bosom.

only through logic. Remember this: Seldom do people buy
logically. They buy emotionally, then defend their
decisions with logic. Find ways to get them emotionally

The fourth-grade teacher had to leave the room for a few
minutes. When she returned, she found the children in
perfect order. Everybody was sitting absolutely quiet.
She was shocked and stunned and said, "I've never seen
anything like it before. This is wonderful. But, please
tell me, what came over all of you? Why are you so
well-behaved and quiet?"
Finally, after much urging, a little girl said, "Well, one
time you said that if you ever came back and found us quiet,
you would drop dead!!"
