sunny123 05-06-2005, 08:40 PM I've always wondered why people call a chair, 'chair'. Who makes up these words?
sunny123 05-06-2005, 08:41 PM Another question I have is, when meditating, you are supposed to be concentrating on nothing. But, nothing is infact something. So then how do you concentrate on 'nothing'?
hopeful05 05-07-2005, 07:56 AM Thats one reason i can't meditate...i can never stop thinking abt the million things that are on my mind...infact it gives you the best conc. ..so it must be the best time to think..yet you are supposed to clear your head by meditating???
hmmm...yeah i bet linguistics cud tell us abt the origins of words...
i know the origin of one word...fa-shizzle = 'for sure' by snoop dog.... :laugh: ;)
thisisvick 05-07-2005, 03:01 PM actually you can mediate doing a simple thing called JAPA.. and i would disagree on your definition of mediatation... when meditating.. your in fact focusing your energy on one thing... not "nothing" -- and that one may be God or such
defintely something to check out -- and the experience if done properly is sureal at times....
here is a site.. i am sure there are better ones but i googled "japa, meditation" but there are alot others
http://www.focalpointyoga.com/mantra_meditation.htm
ahh if you decide to try it out.. a lil modification... when you repeat the chant over and over again.... change your tone... tempo etc if you find yourself bored or distracted.... open your eyes.. close them.... and when u get to a point where the only thing your focusing on is that mantra.. close your eyes and then stop sayin the mantra.... ahh for a moment your at peace... and too some degree you do achieve mental freedom where your mind is focusining nothing... but it begins with a focus on onething to get to zero....
saffronrain 05-08-2005, 07:18 AM Thisisvick is right. Meditation is focusing on one thing, and one thing alone.
I've tried it and it seems that I can only meditate for a few seconds, and then that's it. All thoughts take over and I'm left worrying about the future, or regretting the past. It's awful. Meditation is discipline. Something I must cultivate. :rolleyes:

Thanks for that thisisvick. i'll try it too. i think mastering something like this- can really help one in so many ways- but its tough ...getting there...
like saffronrain i can't stop the thoughts either...but i am going to try .... i really need the peace! ;)

The point of meditation is to become "thoughtlessly aware", which is very difficult to achieve. This is what I was referring to when I said that you had to focus on "nothing" during meditation.
I am aware of the jap meditation, but didn't quite understand it fully. I'll take a look at the link you provided, and do a google search when I get the chance. Thanks.
saffronrain 05-09-2005, 02:14 PM You know Sunny, my fam. and I were talking about meditation last night, and my dad said, "meditation is learning to focus on the gap between two thoughts- nothing... a state of thoughtlessness." i had not known this... so I guess you're right Sunny, it's focusing on "nothing."
Apparently there's this meditation class taught by a Buddhist monk, and I'm thinking about going if it doesn't cost too much. Learning to meditate should be free- anyone should be entitled to it, don't you think? It's unfair to put a price on something like that.

nokia 05-13-2005, 09:46 AM nope i think you just chose religion over evolution
BTW...i chose SUNY buffalo.... ;)
well....religions ays ..adam & eve came first ..it manes chicken came first .acc to the religion ..
If egg came first ...first of all it`s against religion just coz it`s not chicken ...second..it`s evolution ..coz ..the predecessor ( spelling mistake , sorry ) was not chicken , in fact it was something pre-chicken . so pre -chicken gave an agg that was the next step in evolution ..coz pre-chicken can`t change to chicken during its life time .
i agree with rxgal ..when she says egg cames first ..it`s evolution over religion.... :luck:
PS: it`s strictly personal comment ..no offence emant .
hopeful05 05-13-2005, 10:29 AM i thought religion says- god created everything....
that he put all these animals on the earth...
i just meant that a chicken obvioulsy evolved from something.... like u said something prechicken...but i get what ur saying too...makes sence
rxgal8 05-13-2005, 01:24 PM Egg refers to evolution because it is based on the idea that everything came from single cell organisms. An egg is a single cell.
Whereas, chicken would pertain to religion because religion is based on God who created mankind (eg Adam/Eve).
Of course, there is no true answer to the Chicken/Egg question. It's just a matter of what we choose to believe in. :D
rxgal8 05-13-2005, 01:26 PM i agree with rxgal ..when she says egg cames first ..it`s evolution over religion.... :luck:

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
If the bomb device of a suicidal human bomb didn't function well at the planned time; would he be happy or sad?

I saw this movie about kamikaze pilots but they wore lether helmets (more like hats). Like back the the days motorcycle helmets were all lether hats very much like some winter hats we see today.

yeah it is "put the lime in the coke you nut".. i love that.
Indian aunties can't mind their own business. they're always prying into other people's lives (esp. other people's children's).. ugh. i can totally relate. some aunties call our house (and mind you, we haven't spoken to each other in about 2 years) and ask how i am, how my sister is, what we're doing, what our plans our (ie. med school, etc). they just like gossip and i don't know if it's b/c they're so insecure about themselves- they compare other ppl's kids to their own. my dad does it, but my mom doesn't. i hate it!!!!! :mad:

Peter Moens (he's on the left, his daughter on the right):
http://www.yorku.ca/ycom/gazette/past/archive/2000/052400/current/moens.jpg
He was the Reproduction/Genetics prof, and the biggest atheist on this planet. The girls wearing burkas in our class felt REALLY uncomfortable because he spoke with this degrading attitude. He brought up the notion of the "virgin Mary" when he was talking about parthenogenesis (females giving rise to other females without the need of sperm fertilizing any ova). He said that Jesus should have been a girl, not a boy, if Mary was in fact a virgin.

allergic2morons 05-27-2005, 01:10 AM even though i dont believe in ghosts I love ghost movies especially the Japanese ones. no one does horror like the Japanese. Slew of hollywood remakes of Jap horror films only shows how Japs are good at it.But i prefer wathching original Jap movies. Kakashi and Ju-on r my all time favourite. Both of these movies are fantastic date movies because if she doesn't snuggle up to you during these then she REALLY hates you. :thumbup:

Trust me, this dude is no good. He is sexist, and prefers girls when it comes to handing out grades. That pic was taken at least 2 decades ago, cause now the man has no hair whatsoever, so he may look ok in that pic. He goes out of his way (literally, he goes to nearby highschools to lecture the students on why Christianity is wrong.... the teachers at the school keep asking for him because he gets everyone riled up).
Lets just say I'm not a big fan of him because the man is very impatient with students. Doesn't like to give them the time of day, and talks very bluntly+rudely if you ask a question. Peopel are their to learn, and he is being paid to teach. He should have some respect and common courtesy for ANYONE that wants to ask a question.
hopeful05 05-27-2005, 07:32 AM I trust you... ;)

Yeah I know pakora who roams the forum. To be frank, i don't like her ( yeah! like that was a surprize). But I said I don't like pakora- the person portrayed on SDN, not whomever is behind the id; coz for all i know, it could be a 49year old man angry coz he's turning 50! So i don't know the person behind the sdn id and don't have any assumptions abt her/him/it. but yeah I have thoughts abt the person portrayed on sdn. That person is mean for no reason. I don't understand why that person cannot be just normal- and talk like normal people= normal people get happy, sad, excited, angry etc....but this person just sticks to rudeness.... I just think calling people loosers is such low behavior. The pakora is the one who assumes this abt people; and feels happy in saying it then :thumbdown

What killed the dinosaurs?
I always thought it was the comet. But as a biologist we are supposed to think that mammals are the ones who killed them. Mammals eat embryos since the dawn of time. Mammals were the ones who ate the eggs of the dinosaurs and therefore the dinosaurs just died off. Mammals couldn't climb trees so the flying dinosaurs became birds. Mammals couldn't swim(at this time) so the dinosaurs became reptiles. This is what my prof taught us in reproduction course. He said that comet theory is all bull since its just a media frenzy. He never did say anything about that iridium layer found all over the earth. I do agree that volcanoes had some effect but iridium is found in lava i think.

nokia 06-03-2005, 12:39 AM THE ORIGINAL THINGS LOST AGAIN , it seems to me .....well here r some ....Thought-provoking exercises
All the answers are given in this page, but it will require some lateral and/or logical thinking to find them (and no, e-mailing me isn't the answer)!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?
This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.
2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How can this be?
3. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, jumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?
4. One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How?
5. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees.
6. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?
7. A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
8. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?
9. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.
10. A man without eyes sees plums on a tree. He neither takes plums nor leaves plums. How can this be?
This is a very special question for me; people who know me personally have already been provided with a huge clue.
11. Jack and Jill are found dead, lying on the floor in the living room of a house, in a puddle of water. How did they die?
12. A man is found dead in an empty field with a pack strapped to his back. How did he die?
13. A man is found hanging in a completely empty warehouse high off the ground. How did the man manage to hang himself.
14. A frog is dead in the centre of a pond, surrounded by ten feet of water on all directions. How can the frog get to land?
15. You have three lights in a box, each of which is connected to a switch outside the box. The box is closed. You need to figure out which switch to corresponds to which light and you can open the box only once (and you can't manipulate the switches after you open the box). How do you do this?
16. A pot of gold is on a square island surrounded by a chasm 10 metres wide and of infinite depth. You have two 9.8 metre poles. How do you get across to the pot of gold and get back with it.
17. Mel Colly stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 26th floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived?
18. A man is hiking up a snowy mountain, he comes across a cabin. Inside the cabin is a small fire and two dead men. How did they die? (They did not burn to death.)

5. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees.
6. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?
7. A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
8. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?
9. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.
10. A man without eyes sees plums on a tree. He neither takes plums nor leaves plums. How can this be?
This is a very special question for me; people who know me personally have already been provided with a huge clue.
11. Jack and Jill are found dead, lying on the floor in the living room of a house, in a puddle of water. How did they die?
12. A man is found dead in an empty field with a pack strapped to his back. How did he die?
13. A man is found hanging in a completely empty warehouse high off the ground. How did the man manage to hang himself.
14. A frog is dead in the centre of a pond, surrounded by ten feet of water on all directions. How can the frog get to land?
15. You have three lights in a box, each of which is connected to a switch outside the box. The box is closed. You need to figure out which switch to corresponds to which light and you can open the box only once (and you can't manipulate the switches after you open the box). How do you do this?
16. A pot of gold is on a square island surrounded by a chasm 10 metres wide and of infinite depth. You have two 9.8 metre poles. How do you get across to the pot of gold and get back with it.
17. Mel Colly stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 26th floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived?
18. A man is hiking up a snowy mountain, he comes across a cabin. Inside the cabin is a small fire and two dead men. How did they die? (They did not burn to death.)

nokia 06-11-2005, 11:39 PM 'm quite curious to know the answers! :laugh:
u did`t even try man !!!! throw some crazy answers .....
desikudi 06-11-2005, 11:48 PM Interesting questions!! need to put some thinking ;) THE ORIGINAL THINGS LOST AGAIN , it seems to me .....well here r some ....Thought-provoking exercises
All the answers are given in this page, but it will require some lateral and/or logical thinking to find them (and no, e-mailing me isn't the answer)!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?
This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.
2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How can this be?
3. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, jumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?
