One explanation goes back to Norse mythology: the demigods were 12 and then came the thirteenth, Loki. But it was cruel to the men, hence the 13 in those lands, has become a sign of ill omen. Others bind to the superstition that there were 13 people at the Last Supper of Christ, and Judas was the thirteenth. How to Friday, maybe it is considered inauspicious because Christ was crucified on that day. For Muslims, however, is unfortunate because it is the day when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Origins aside, the belief has spread throughout Europe and America.
The sneeze part when the nerve sensors in the nose that are reported the presence of foreign particles. Take the emergency nose emits mucus, the respiratory muscles strongly compress the chest and those that control the respiratory system are close. When the air pressure in the lungs becomes too high, the airway open forcefully expelling air and particles. The spasm that accompanies the sneeze involves several muscles, including facial, responsible for the shaking of the eyes. Eyes closed. And here's the thing: the fact that they close their eyes sneezing is probably a biological mechanism that serves to protect them. Eject particles from the nose requires a very high pressure, which turns into a speed of expulsion of about 160 km per hour. Close your eyes, then, can serve to prevent such pressure may damage the tear ducts.
Because many piggy banks are made in the form of a pig?
The pig has been for centuries a symbol of fortune and abundance and, especially, is one of the oldest food resources of humanity: it seems that the Chinese breeding already 7000 years before Christ, while the ancient Romans, whose armies ate ham (able to be preserved for long), I liked the sausages. Until a few decades ago, this animal for many rural households constituting an abundant supply of meat and fat to combat the cold and fatigue (in fact, until the early '900, bacon and lard cost more than the ham and beef ), but a resource to be used as a bargaining chip in case of sudden economic necessity. It is from this tradition was born, perhaps in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the tradition of giving the appearance of a piggy pork in crock (a metaphor of vision and sparingly) to break or sacrifice to satisfy a desire, a party or coping with an emergency .
Purple is the color of the vestments used during Lent. In the Middle Ages were prohibited at that time, all types of theatrical performances and public performances that were held in the streets and squares of cities. This meant for the actors and all those who lived only theater great inconvenience. Unable to work, the theater companies did not even have the means to earn his daily bread, and were forced to tighten their belts. This is why the color purple is hated by all artists, in general, but especially in theater where it is prohibited with the passage of time has become a real superstition.
The phrase derives from the observation that a dog kept in isolation, away from their fellows (as often happens with guard dogs), is suffering and in need of companionship. The dog is in fact the same man, a social animal.
The ringing in your ears is a subjective sensation: a high-pitched sound that is perceived is not due to the vibrations of sound waves from outside, but was born in the inner ear. Just an obstruction of the ear canal due to ear wax or sputum, to generate the whistle. tense muscles. If the tube is free, the whistle is due to the internal muscles (stapedius and tensor tympani muscle) that are contracted to maintain tense the tympanic membrane and thus dampen the vibrations before they reach the most critical ear. But sometimes the muscles contract to involuntary movements, particularly as a result of stress. When is the fault of a disease. of a different nature are the hiss and hum-related diseases and disorders that may result from pressure of liquids that are in the inner ear, of the pathologies of auditory or hearing nerve or circulatory defects such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.
The origin of this proverb is uncertain, the most likely dates from the second half of sixteenth century. At that time reigned in Turkey Pasha extremely severe against the consumption of coffee and tobacco, deemed to be dangerous drugs. Consumers of coffee and tobacco were pursued hard (one of the penalties was the cutting of the nose ...) and coffee shops destroyed. Once dead the oppressor Pasha, the Turks returned to drink coffee and smoke, even excessively so, as a reaction to the ban immediately. Hence the saying: smoking as a turkish, meaning to smoke excessively.
The other night, for lack of alternatives for real interest, I saw the episode of Annozero on the earthquake that struck a few days is part of Abruzzo. Programs abound about it (though of course no one plays the TG1, eh!), And honestly can not say I have followed in abundance, but let's say in sufficient quantity to begin to hear repeated more or less the same things. I assume, then, that you share more or less the same situation as me. So there I want to talk to subject matter during the episode, rather than the final . In fact final, as usual, Vauro presents his overview of cartoons relating to the subject. Hard work, of course, in an episode where we talk about the dead, homeless, and destroyed cities. When dealing with topics such it is difficult to make you laugh out loud to the listener, rather than trying to note with irony and hypocrisy that has surrounded the event. It is sad satire, in a nutshell. This does not mean in any way that the target of satire that can even remotely be to tease or insult the victims of the earthquake ... I mean, would understand this also Emilio Fede ! Unfortunately studio Worse Mario Giordano. remember Mario Giordano especially for his amazing performance farewell to run the Open Studio . A man who for seven years has directed Open Studio pull out until it became what it is, and that all we know is: a good example of how one should not do a newscast . Unfortunately, the format has been successful over the years (and here the fault is not in Jordan, of course, but the level of deficiency of the average, which is not suppose to be superior, but at least I do not look at Open Studio, here!) . It has happened when a format is adopted en masse, and so now more or less every news network in the clear points (in one way or another) Open Studio. Here is how Mario Jordan has managed to ruin, albeit indirectly, virtually all the Italian television news. course after that Berlusconi's company could not refrain dall'eleggerlo director of his newspaper (The Journal , to be precise), which is by now a couple of years managed to ruin as well as provide information on paper . Complimentoni.
However, I said, unfortunately there is in the studio Annozero Mario Giordano. After Svang for the entire drive with helpful comments more or less as a surgeon with Parkinson Jordan decides to comment on the time of the cartoons of Vauro with facial expressions and lip (not having the microphone on, thanks to Suppaman!). And so, as soon as framed, sits on face expression that is a mixture of wonder, angry, disgusted and outraged, and sports a lip-reading " mamma mia, mamma mia .
Now, Jordan. There had been for you a victim of the earthquake would also have to accept. I would not be shared, because I think that what it was all written by Vauro forks offensive to the victims (which instead wanted to let you to understand your emoticons with mime / O). I would not have shared, but I could understand, forgive, let go. To you NO! Who led and directed a television news for years (ahhh. .. fuck that pang in my heart !)... Who has conducted a program for years gossip masquerading as news , NO! Rather than those who deliver services that took place more or less like this:
[sent]: ( addressing a lady of the refugee camp after the earthquake ) Why cry lady? [earthquake] ( crying) ... why I cry? I've lost everything! House, love, loved ones ... I lost everything! [sent]: You just drop the entire house, ah, madam?! [earthquake]: Yes .. [sent]: And who knows how many days his parents were dying under the rubble before he died ... [earthquake]: ... [sent]: Madam, you had a dog true? [earthquake]: Yes .. His name Poldo ... [sent]: Her name ... because now he is gone, he ma'am? [earthquake]: Yes .. [sent]: Was he buried in the rubble, right? [earthquake]: ... [sent]: ( turning back to camera) The earthquake did not spare anyone, not even defenseless beings like dogs. What fault has a dog?! None. Here Genevieve, online study. [presenter in the studio]: Thank Genova 'yearning for the testimony that we will raise the share of at least a couple of points and the lady in the edition of 18 trying to look a bit' more upset, and maybe concentrate a bit 'more about the personality of the dog ... [Technical]: ... 're in the air ... [presenter in the studio]: ... hhhm ... hhhhhhm ... Sorry, we had a technical problem. Could be due to visiting aliens who accompanied the earthquake? We see with the service Duillo sighting of a UFO near the epicenter just 10 minutes before the earthquake. It's your line Duillo.
Here. Jordan slipped facets and "mamma mia" where you see fit, but do not come back, please !
