Need to lose weight in a hurry? Diets can take time. Here are eight overlooked methods for instantly shedding mass:
People are like cars – when we get old we start to break down. Here are ten ways that our aging bodies resemble old cars:
noun. [noun] -noun.
1. any word that describes a person, place, thing or idea. Alright, students, please circle the noun in this sentence.
Using language to describe language can be difficult, but the common definition of a noun as, “a person, place, thing or idea” is downright foolish. People, places and ideas are things.
Truth be told, we all endure scrapes, cuts, bruises, burns and rashes during our lifetime, and most of the time it’s our own fault.
Often times these wounds are only a minor inconvenience, causing slight discomfort for a short time.
Pain can be a serious problem, however, for it can vary in intensity and duration, but the true measure of pain is the product of both its intensity and duration.
One small laceration could cause a fleeting wince, but a pulled muscle, though not as intense as the sensation of torn skin, projects pulses of pain for much longer and would be deemed by most to be the worse of the two.
Fleeting pain can be very intense, but because it lasts for such a short time we usually aren’t concerned about it.
However, when we experience extended periods of low-level pain, we are often driven to search for aid.
Experiencing a small abrasion, scrape or cut can become a more serious and prolonged matter if it is complicated by infection, but there is another factor which can extend the pain.
A wound can occur anywhere on the body, and if it occurs in a high-use region, such as the palm of the hand or bottom of the foot, the pain can be drawn out as the sore is scratched, rubbed and reopened repeatedly.
Deciding where the wound would be on our body would be interesting, for we would have to examine which part of our body is least contacted – the answer could be anything from under our chin to the back of our hand.
We think we’re heading north or south,
but that’s not really true,
for north and south will always change,
depending on our view.
Now north and south have poles, you see,
unlike both east and west,
which never change and never end,
whose birthplace none can guess.

As we have already learned, humans relish devouring baby sheep. A popular method of serving their tender flesh is known as rack of lamb. But what part of the lamb is the rack? The breasts?
Consider an old rope swing hung from a branch, with a knot at the bottom for footing. Fastened to the tree many years ago, the swing has delighted countless children.
A young boy latches hold of the rope, places his foot on the knot and sails through the air. Resting on a nearby slope, the boy’s parents look on in blissful satisfaction at his joy.
The husband turns to his wife, “how long do you think this rope swing has been here?”
“I don’t know. It was here when I was little,” she replies, “why do you ask?”
He continues, “I’m just wondering how safe that thing is. Don’t you think it’s bound to break?”
“Hmm, I guess it has to break some day, but probably not today.”
“How can you be sure?” he persists.
“Well it’s held up all these years.”
“But it’s so old! Surely it’s must break very soon,” he insists.
The mystery of the old rope swing is that with each day the rope both proves its faithfulness and inches closer its demise. So do we trust in the strength of the old rope swing because it has proven itself so many times, or do we suspect its weakness because it has endured so much?
