Why has the Great Wall of China been called the
"longest cemetery in the world"?
What is the origin of the phrase "dead as a doornail"?

ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Is Chinese spoken just in China?
Chinese is spoken in many countries. In addition to
China, Chinese is spoken by ethnic Chinese in Cambodia,
Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Brunei, Mongolia,
Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, and the
Philippines.
How many people in the world speak Chinese?
More than 880 million people speak Mandarin Chinese,
the most popular language in the world. But if you
count ALL of the Chinese languages, such as Cantonese,
Wu, and others, then you're talking about a whopping
1.2 BILLION people. In contrast, just 330 million
people speak the second most popular language, Spanish.
And about 320 million people speak English.

qualifiers. I have decided I will not chase them.
thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a
highly honorable publication dedicated to serving

cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here
or there in an ad, or in a story or article. That is why
I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of
Pinehill.
I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email
it to you. However, if your spam filter eats it, then you
can read it online.

Here's To Think On ...
with Ken Darby
------------------------------------
Some Take All!
As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees
$10 and a note in his mouth, reading: "10 lamb chops,
please."
Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the
dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop. He follows
the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look
both ways, and trot across the road to a bus stop. The
dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a
bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at
the number, then boards the bus. The butcher follows,
dumbstruck.
As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes
in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws
to push the "stop" button, then the butcher follows him
off.
The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the
stoop. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and
throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does this
again and again. No answer. So he jumps on a wall,
walks around the garden, beats his head against a
window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big
guy opens it and starts cursing and pummeling the dog.
The butcher runs up screams at the guy: "What are you
doing? This dog's a genius!"
The owner responds, "Genius? It's the second time this
week he's forgotten his key!"
There is a difference between healthy dissatisfaction
with ones position, and working toward improving it,
and the downright completely selfish attitude of taking
from everybody every time you get a chance.
While the joke above may be humorous it reveals a
character trait that is truly disgusting. A person like
the one in the joke is a taker. That is to say they
contribute nothing and take all they can get whether
they have earned it or not.
This kind of character falls very close to the
untrustworthy. They will take from those closest to
them and the thought of giving never enters their mind,
even to their loved ones. The loved ones, in the mind
of the taker, exist to serve them, not share with them.
It is one of life's mysteries. It is apparent this kind
of individual has a long way to go before they have
peace. Peace of mind lies in using the higher laws for
the benefit of all mankind, not just one. The taker
suffers much and understands not the reason.
We must all be thankful we have the right to make a
choice as to how we are going to live our lives.
The taker is to be pitied. Oh. they may ultimately have
a lot of toys, or money. Yet what good is that when you
are spurned by mankind and miserable within your own
heart?
The laws of God are clear. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
If all you do is take, you might want to consider what
will be taken from you. If you take to the detriment of
another then woe is you for the result of the law will
be harsh.
Some say God passes judgment. I say God set up the law
and you pass judgment by your use thereof. Act in full
knowledge of the law. Act the way you want the law to
deliver unto you.
Be a giver and live in love, peace and prosperity, yet,
wisely consider...
Some Take All!

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -

Anaphylaxis: A Medical Emergency
PART 8 of 11
Other possible causes for an anaphylactic reaction or
episode can be insect stings in which the chemicals are
the problem. (Wasps are nasty.) Latex in “plastic” or
rubber items, dust mites, molds, and animal dander are
also common causes of allergic reactions. We ignore
many signs our body shares with us because it is more
convenient to do that: this could be a serious mistake.
Treatment! This is every health care professional’s
nightmare! This is why we ask so many questions.
Anaphylaxis is an emergency condition requiring
immediate medical attention. And if you are getting
your flu shot in the local grocery store, help might be
minutes away. You may feel “put upon” by the nurse
refusing to give you a flu shot or a hepatitis
inoculation, but in their professional assessment, you
might be a poor candidate. They have to weigh the
consequences very quickly. Don’t argue. This decision
is made with your best interest in mind. I am always
amazed as to how nonchalant people are in signing up
for flu shots. This is an invasive procedure and you
may have an allergy to some of the ingredients: yet you
feel inconvenienced when I, as the nurse, brings this
to your attention. Nothing you put into your body is
without risk. I don’t see the humor in administering
adrenalin on the grocery floor waiting for an
ambulance. Please be very open discussing your
potential allergies when asked. I get nervous when
parents say no to allergies for their young children in
order to have a flu shot and the child is looking at
the parent. They know. I digress.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places.
The Saga Of Pinehill, The Adventure
is now in bookstores. A controversial and powerful story.
It will change your life. Go to
http://www.the-pebble.com OR order yours from
your favorite bookstore. ISBN # 1-4137-4723-X
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

"I'm glad you were able to work with Juanita.
In time she will be thankful. Gang life leads
nowhere and to nothing. It only breeds more hatred
and harm to mankind. It's going back to tribal
conditions."
"I didn't tell you, Oomano is expecting
another child. We have to keep Grandpa, here, busy
with babies bouncing on his knees." Romano
laughed.
"He laughs, Sam, but we are happy about it.
Mamma and I love kids, especially grandchildren."
Miguele was enthusiastic in his response.
That was not news to Sam, of course. Miguele
and Abetta had always had kids around. Miguele
used to pick up street kids and bring them home to
give them a home. Over the years he and Abetta had
gathered quite a number, many of whom were here
today.
Suddenly there was music. It drew the
attention of everyone. All turned to look for the
source.
Riata had picked a corner of the deck and had
manifested a piano. There she was playing notes
that sounded angelic. The crowd was mesmerized.
All stopped and listened in awe.
She was playing a piece that captured the
imaginations of all present. The sounds that
emanated from the piano even reached the
neighbors. To say they were heavenly would be an
understatement. She was smooth. Her timing was
impeccable and the melody entrancing.
In minutes Tom left Tlang, manifested a guitar
and joined Riata. The two of them now, in harmony,
created an effect that had everyone in a trance.
The music reached the souls of all who heard
it and caused them to dance within. It opened up a
gladness they wanted to continue.
When the piece was over there were murmurs,
cheers and clapping of hands. "Encore! Encore!"
was the call.
None knew Riata could play. The truth was she
had never been near a piano before. She just
suddenly knew it was the thing to do, sat down and
did it.
Crowds gathered around the piano. Tom had his
guitar and in the next instant Sharon produced a
violin and the three of them created quite a stir.
The music was wonderful.
The concert lasted for more than an hour. They
played songs from every country.
Tom must have cast a spell upon Tlang. She sat
there watching him. She had stars in her eyes. She
couldn't take her eyes off him. The feelings the
pair had for one another were so obvious the were
broadcast unto all. Indeed they were so strong
that all present 'felt' them.
It was a wonderful condition, this 'first
love' thing and the mood was only enhanced by the
music. Tlang was showing all the signs of that
first, innocent, dear, sweet love.
Tom, too, was in love and it was not only
showing in his eyes, but in the music coming out
of his guitar.
The love both felt and broadcast by those
present was powerful. It was as if those present
didn't even have their feet on the ground.
Nighttime was approaching and Sien made the
suggestion they have a bit of a practice, just so
everyone knew, tomorrow, what was going to happen.
The crowd grew quiet and the participants took
their places.
Sam and Alewka had suggested they hold the
actual ceremony on the lake, with the wedding
guests on shore. That way all would have a good
view.
Sien took Tim out on the water. There they
stood until Sien could see Sharon and her Father
were ready. This would be a test for Bob. He had
never done this before and he was somewhat
apprehensive. He had no idea the wedding was going
to be this.
Sien nodded and Sharon began to walk toward
the water's edge. Bob held her arm as Fathers do
in North American weddings. He would perform the
simple yet significant step of "giving" his
daughter away.
As the approached the water he whispered to
Sharon "Honey, I can't do this. Maybe you should
get Sam to do it."
"Nonsense, Daddy. Just hold my arm and you
will be just fine. After you give me away all you
need do is turn right around and walk back to Mom.
The water will be as if there is a sidewalk just
beneath the surface. Trust me Daddy. All will be
well."
"I ... I'll try, honey."
They continued, "Daddy, don't look at the
water. Don't look where you are stepping. It makes
you expect to sink. Look straight ahead to where
you are going. Keep your eyes on your target,
Daddy and all will be well."

"I'm on my way to the airport to catch a plane that
leaves in 45 minutes. The traffic is not moving one
inch. I am now fascinated - not frustrated, but
fascinated. But I must admit, it doesn't work every
time." -? Jim Rohn

HA! HA! HA!
The service area was located on a main highway leading
to the beach. The pump attendant was accustomed to
seeing tired and sunburned occupants in the cars that
pulled in to tank up. When a rusty old van containing
a very tired looking couple and six screaming children
pulled into his station, the attendant tried small talk
to cheer the occupants.
"Hope you had a good day at the beach! Nice looking
kids there. Are they all yours or is this a picnic?"
Wearily, the driver replied, "Yes they are all mine and
it's NO picnic!"
