(also their computer desk has 4x more viruses that can cause disease or illness than from a toilet bowl)(the reason is because they dont clean their desks at all, and in a toilet bowl clean water goes in and out so it usually prevents germs from spreading.)

: Pretzels are the worlds oldest snack. French monks used to offer it to young children for saying their prayers over five thousand years ago.

Sorry, but its hard to beleave it was 5000 Years ago. Back then, rome was only a village, and when rome was a huge empire, france was only a village. And that was before recorded religion too. About 1000 years before the very early egypt villiges too.

Rome was not only a village, Remus had already stated an autocratic council by this time and trade was on a massive increase. Rome had already started its famous traditions and established trade with the ancient egyptians. Also, the Chineese, Greek, Japaneese and Egyptian empires are well-over 5000 years old. Including the sacrificial religions of Southern America. None of the current religions dated further than 5000 years ago, but I think you will find that paganism was at this time practiced all over western Europe, including France, Germany, Spain and Britain. I believe that the word 'pretzel' originates from some form of word similiar to pretoni. It meant 'little reward', whether it was in Latin or French, I do not know.

true, but those empires you speak of were still nothing more then a few villages 5000 years ago. And the Chinese didnt have an empire at 3000 BC, the Mongols ruled most of asia back then....We should make a new thred for this XD


According to the article, monks in seventh-century France were responsible for inventing the pretzel. They used the food to reward children for learning their prayers. The peculiar shape represented the arms of a child folded in prayer. The article goes on to say that pretiola, the Latin root of the word pretzel, means "reward."

Your info was all correct but the time :)

Capsicum have seeds :mellow:

Beans are seeds :mellow:

The american-indians got their name because columbus thought it was india

EDIT: well, the american part was added on later...

wait..
from what i learnt, fruits grow on trees and vegies come out from the ground.. thats how i know whats what...
so a tomato.. it comes off this weird little tree thingy... so its a fruit

Lettuce doesn't come out of the ground and it doesn't grow on a tree, yet it's a vegetable. Same for cabbage.

it comes from the ground doesnt it? i thought it did O_O" where does it come from then?
you sure? *thinks of winnie the pooh and rabbits little vegie thingie*
well carrots grow out of the ground... lol XD

ops, forgot to put the rest...

A fruit is the 'membrain' like thing that covers the seeds, but a bean isnt the membrain, but the seed it self. A veggie is the root and/or leafs from a plant that doesnt grow into a tree[I think] or branches out.

Correct me if im wrong.

*corrects RD*

Saying the membrane is the fruit would be saying the apple's skin is the fruit, not the apple itself.

I think all fruits have sugar, while veggies don't. :mellow: *is not sure*

Did you know that vegetables are healthy for you? :yes:

XD

LOL, where'd you get that bullshit from? XD

Did you know that the slowest animal on Earth is the Sloth?? A Sloth averages moving 15 feet a day. The surprising thing is...they move only like 15 feet a day but yet they are pretty good swimmers. Either this animal can't walk or just too lazy to do anything...

Probably because talking about underwear was a big no-no then.

The only reason why they seem clumsy is because most of the worlds products are crafted to fit and be used in a right hand, making it harder for some left handed to use.

How rude! I'm left handed and i'm not clumsy. Always away with the faeries but not clumsy.

Hey, did you know that only one drop of water can ruin an entire vat of chocolate?

did you also know that left handed people are gifted in sports?

And apparently have a talent for music, or so I've been told.

:think: I think that would be because the right hand side of the brain controls the left hand side of the body and is responsible for creative thought. While I am more of a left side of the brain and right side of the body which is for math, science and reasoning.

Did you know that when dogs drink, the water goes under the tongue and when cats drink the water goes over the tongue...that's why dogs drink so noisily and cat's don't make a sound!
