To prevent evil spirits from entering the bodies of their male children, parents dressed them in blue. Blue was chosen because it's the color of the sky and was therefore associated with heavenly spirits.
Girls weren't dressed in blue, apparently because people didn't think that evil spirits would bother with them. Eventually, however, girls did get their own color: pink. Pink was chosen because of an old English legend which said that girls were born inside of pink roses.
The famous Citgo sign near Fenway Park in Boston is maintained not by Citgo, but by Boston's historical society.

.:: Pornography : Relationship Enhancer or Disaster? ::.
Regardless of the medium, the goal of pornography is to arouse the sexual passions of the viewers. Introducing pornography into a committed relationship often arouses conflicting emotional passions as well. The primary sexual stimulus for most men is visual. The primary sexual stimulus for most women is relational. What men see turns them on. What women receive through relationship interaction turns them on. Can pornography find a comfortable niche for both partners in a relationship?
THE POSITIVE
Pornography provides couples with a variety of sexual information on many levels. It gives a panoramic view of the world's sexual possibilities. It allows couples to safely experience sexual alternatives. Additionally, it provides a different form of information that can't be found in textbooks. It is quite common for sex therapists to recommend that couples share in viewing pornography as a way of opening up communication about sex. One of the most benevolent aspects of pornography is that it provides couples with a safe environment in which they can, together, satisfy a healthy sexual curiosity.
THE NEGATIVE
Some would argue that sexually explicit material does not enhance sex in a committed relationship. It's said that pornography creates unrealistic demands about the frequency of sex, specific sexual acts, and the nature of a woman's sexual response. Real life seldom lives up to what is represented in the fake world of pornography. Pornography sells sex without relationships, sex without commitment, sex without consequences, sex without love, and sex for one's own gratification as opposed to the gratification of the other. It is because of this portrayal that many view pornography as a degradation to an otherwise loving, caring, committed bond between two people.
THE MIDDLE GROUND
Whether or not pornography will add to or lessen a couple's sexual enjoyment is up to each individual couple. Pornography can be a positive thing in a relationship if both partners share the positive results of this increased passion. It becomes destructive to a relationship, however, when one or the other substitutes porn for intimacy. As in all things, balance and moderation are key. Sexual therapists suggest that partners not try to censor one another's thoughts, nor force one another to view offensive material. Pornography is only beneficial if both partners are completely comfortable with its introduction into their sex lives.

Long ago, the people of Nicaragua believed that if they threw beautiful young women into a volcano it would stop erupting.
In medieval times, thunderstorms were believed by some to be the work of demons. So when it stormed, bell ringers would go up into the bell towers to ring the consecrated bells in an effort to stop the storm. This practice didn't always work out well for the bell ringer.
No one knows where the expression "to grin like a Cheshire cat" originated, but it wasn't with Carroll. The Cheshire cat is a well-known character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the expression, meaning a sneering smile that shows the gums, existed long before he wrote the book. There is no such breed of cat.

Pearl Jam - I Am Mine
The selfish they’re all standing in line...
Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.
The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There’s east and there’s west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that I’ll die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time...
We’re different behind the eyes, there’s no need to hide.
We’re safe tonight.
The ocean is full cause everyone’s crying,
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind. I am mine.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We’re different between the lines, there’s no need to hide...
Cause we’re safe tonight.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We’re different behind the eyes, there’s no need to hide.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with lies.
We’re different behind the eyes.
We’re safe tonight.

SMILE POWER!  There is power in a smile where it has the ability to touch the hard hearted and lighten heavy burdens. A smile usually prompts a smile in return. Begin each day with the intention of greeting people with a smile, even those who look miserable and unhappy. Watch the impact of your smile has on them. It won't be long before you too become committed to the captivating disarming power of a smile |

It's a myth that owls don't hunt in the daytime because they can't see in daylight. It's just that rats and mice, the main items on owl menus, are most active after dark.
