JAPANESE ADULT ADOPTION


Forget cute babies
..Why go through all of the hassle of raising a child when you can just adopt the end product

90% of all adoptions in Japan are adult adoptions, mostly men in their 20-30s

Why?

Families are adopting full-grown men for 2 reasons
..To pass on the family name, &
..To ensure heirs to their companies if they lack a son or don’t trust their own to carry on the business

..


Qn!
Will you agree to be adopted at age 20 and above?

COMMON MISCONCEPTION

Toilet waste is never intentionally jettisoned from an aircraft

..All waste is collected in tanks which are emptied on the ground by toilet waste vehicles

Blue ice is caused by accidental leakage from the waste tank

(*) Passenger trains, however, have indeed historically flushed onto the tracks;

..modern trains usually have retention tanks on board & so don't dispose of waste in such a manner

Elizabeth bathory

(7 Aug 1560 – 21 Aug 1614)

A countess from the renowned Báthory family of nobility in the Kingdom of Hungary

..Killed over 650 girls between 1585 & 1610

Most prolific female serial killer in history, though the precise no. of her victims is debated

Some stories (unreliable) ascribe to her vampire-like tendencies
.. that she bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her youth (chisos shocked)

COMMON MISCONCEPTION
There is no evidence that Jesus was born on Dec 25

The fixed date is attributed to Pope Julius I b'se in the year 350 CE he declared 25 Dec the official date of celebration

The date may have been chosen to correspond with either;
..The day exactly 9 months after Christians believe Jesus to have been conceived,
..The date of the Roman winter solstice,
or
..One of various ancient winter festivals

did you know that without looking at the bible, if someone tells you any chapter numbers and verse numbers of any book in the bible, you can tell exactly what that chapter is talking about and what that particular verse is talking about without opening the book ? just from the numbers if you know the pattern. meaning the book is not haphazardly compiled. whomever put that book together has extra-ordinary super- Godly-powers
kindly expantiate on this by giving examples

[size=14pt]Who says dogs are more loyal than cats?[/size]

In Ethiopia, a group of men chased & beat a 12-year-old girl, trying to force her into a marriage

..But a pride of lions scared the men off & then stayed by the girl’s side until her family found her a few days later

Experts say the girl’s crying may have sounded to the lions like the meow of a young cub

But ...the locals say it’s a miracle as lions are often a serious threat to the community

I hate cats.At least dogs always look up to us but cats occasionally look down on us from atop cupboards,rooftops etc.

At least he go receive a large commision from such a great sales, infact it is the salesman that should be celebrated not the foolishly rich.
It might have even been part of the plan of the salesman to mock the man, maybe he was aware of his pride. I see it as a marketing stunt.

The English term "O.K" was invented by the 8th President of the United States President Martin Van Buren. During his campaign he ended his speeches by saying O.K which stands for Old Kinderhook, his hometown in the state of New York.

Later the term O.K came to stand for all right

COMMON MISCONCEPTION

The forbidden fruit from the Book of Genesis is commonly assumed to be an apple & is widely depicted as such in Western art

But, the Bible doesn't identify what type of fruit it is
..The original Hebrew texts mention only tree & fruit

Early Latin translates it to 'mali', meaning both "evil" & "apple"

Jewish scholars suggest the fruit could have been a grape, a fig, wheat, an apricot or an etrog

Ever heard about the Christ myth theory
