| Books are the building blocks of Civilization!! Thoughts to ponder!! | | My husband is a reader of everything he can get his hands on and he read this from one of Louis L"Amour's books and I just thought it would make a good post since if we didn't know how to read or write where would we all be today? Without the written word, a man knows nothing beyond what tales his parents tell him. I thought on this for some time before I decided to post this. This man was a wise man and is right on this where would we all be if no one ever knew how to read or write. Would we all be back still in the cave man days? How would we ever have learned to build a decent home or any building for that matter? Or our clothing? I am only quoting bits and pieces if it intrest you the book is called Education of a wandering man by Louis L'Amour. He was the type of a man if he wanted to find out something he didn't take the word of someone he did it for himself to find out what it took.If we didn't have books we would be hard pressed to even have a history of anything important. And to me all of history is important. Just some thoughts to ponder!! Thanks everyone hope you have a great day/evening. | |
| | How dead do you want anyone? | | I just read about the guy in Australia that was found dead after more than 30 nails were shot into his head. Here's the story if you want to follow it:http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/24/australian-police-release-nail-gun-imageI cannot believe this! In case you are not familiar with it, nail guns work either with an air compressor or with blank cartridges.
The former is most likely what was used but even still, look at the x-ray and imagine what kind of insane individual would amuse himself doing this incredible deed!k.If we didn't have books we would be hard pressed to even have a history of anything important. And to me all of history is important. Just some thoughts to ponder!! Thanks everyone hope you have a great day/evening. | |
