I'm currently taking a History of Medicine course so this is pretty interesting, though there are a lot of simplifications!
For example, bloodletting wasn't just performed as a cure for disease, but was undertaken regularly a couple of times a year by healthy people, in order to stave off illness.
And it wasn't just plague victims who were encouraged to confess to cure themselves. EVERYONE was. It was thought that all disease was a direct punishment from God, so to cure ANYTHING, you had to cleanse your soul. Your body would not heal if your soul was still poisoned.
Ancient Greek theories of medicine were the strongest ideas in the field right up to the 18th century and beyond. They placed a huge emphasis on the importance of diet, lifestyle and exercise, environment, excretions, and even your emotional state.
Trams run through busy pedestrian areas all the time. They're just like a bus service, only on rails. They're not high-speed and - while it does happen sometimes - people rarely get hit by them. They soon learn not to dawdle on the tracks!
I really like the idea of having the tramlines go over grass. It would make little difference to the upkeep of the city if they have a lot of grassy areas to maintain.
I quite like the idea, as when you get to your destination you can just bin the soggy newspaper, instead of having a wet umbrella dripping over everything.
Also: where is Britan? And I'm having trouble finding a definition of this unfamiliar word 'espeically'...
I used to live in a house that had a haha halfway up the back garden. It was pretty cool, very well made with support to the vertical side, proper drainage at the bottom [or else they just end up as muddy ditches] and a shallow slope up.
I remember my [grown up] uncles coming over once and playing 'trenches' in it, hehe. It was great for playing hide and seek with people who hadn't seen one before.
we used to have to explain what it was and where the name coma from. then we'd tell people that a really DEEP haha is called a hoho. *grins*
Last year, our Christmas turkey had two hearts in the bag of giblets. But there was only one kidney.
I didn't mind. My foster brother was learning about the circulatory system at school so I dug out my old university dissection kit and we spent Christmas morning doing a horizontal and a vertical dissection of the hearts.
"still don’t know any man who would pay $9 rather than having the pros (or Mom) wrap a gift for him"
um.. don't you answer that in the opening sentence? So that it doesn't look like they had a 'pro' wrap it for them. Or because it's more fun that way! Besides, it costs the same to have it done properly, so it makes no financial difference: just over $6 USD.
I can go a week without spending anything quite easily. And frequently do. I didn't realise that that was unusual, actually. As long as you have enough food in the cupboard to get by and soap and so on, what else do you really NEED? Anyone who can't go a week without buying clothes or going to the movies or whatever has a problem.
Captive Bolt Gun? barrel contains a bolt that shoots out [and into the brain of an animal to be slaughtered] and is retracted, thus eliminating the need for costly amunition.

He got an A in the end of module test!

got the two legumes though.
And Reechard: i agree the banana plant is not a tree, it's acutally a herbacious plant. but are trees not plants?

Thank you!
