    Women have smaller tear ducts. They therefore do

    not need to build up as much liquid as a man does

    for their tears to leave their eyes.

    Is that why they’re emotional wrecks?

    ???? ?????? ????? ?????? ?????.

    Be careful guys. Tears, truthful, earnest tears, are powerful.

    In supplication too. ??? ???? ?????. But it must be real ones, from the heart.

    the shiny backing but in the plastic.

    It is possible to tell by the sound of water being poured whether it (the water) is hot or cold.

    Joseph – actually that’s because we’re more aware of our emotions which is why we’re emotionally healthier and more sensitive. That’s also why we make better mothers.

    Not saying that men aren’t as good as women and that there’s not a maaleh to being less emotional – women need men to balance them out – if everyone were emotional, the world would be a nuttier place than it already is. I’m just pointing out that it’s not a chisaron that women are more emotional.

    I don’t know if you meant your comment in a negative way, but since it can be taken that way, I felt I had to add that.

    Did you see the meme that says, “If all world leaders were women, there’d be no wars, just a whole bunch of countries not talking to eachother.

    1 in 38 Americans lives in New York City.

    Yearly, 100 million takeout boxes are used in the city’s Chinese restaurants.

    Laid out in a line, the city’s subway system would reach Chicago.

    At any given time, more people are on the New York subway system
    than there are people living in Boulder, Colorado, and the number of
    people who ride it each day is more than the population of Los Angeles.

    Joseph,
    “Is that why they’re emotional wrecks?”
    Actually they say its the other way around, releasing your emotions is very healthy. Keeping your emotions in can lead to depression.
    So “emotional” – yes. “wrecks” – No!

    Also, it has been known throughout the ages, that its these ‘Yiddishe Mamma’ “tears” that kept us Yidden !

    From 1929-1940, Russia did not use a 7-day week.
    (They started with a 5-day week, then moved to 6.)

    Typical communist religious-haters.

    The 7 day week comes from us Jews.

    The temperature required in an area for the average woman to be
    comfortable there is higher than that required for the average man.

    #1405939

    The 7-day week probably dates back to Adam haRishon.

    What this means is that the Creator facilitated women’s tears. They were made to cry easier. The same Creator made men. I think He knew what He was doing. My guess.

    “The 7 day week comes from us Jews.”
    “The 7-day week probably dates back to Adam haRishon.”

    I believe the Kuzari uses this as a proof that the Torah is Emes (the fact that the whole world keeps a 7 day week, which is seemingly random unless the Biblical account of Creation is true, which it is, of course).

    “In the winter, more static electricity builds up in our homes because the heaters are on, which sucks moisture out of the air. In the summer, water in the air can help dissipate the electrons that we pick up as we move around, but when the air is drier, the charge collects and clings to us, building up until… zap!”

    Blue coloration in nature is often not created by blue pigment, but
    rather by microscopic structures that reflect light in such a way
    that only blue light(‘s wavelength range) is reflected to the eye.
    Such blues often look different from different angles.

    #1480168

    (“Reflect light” should have read “disperse light.”)
    If you didn’t understand the above post – most color
    is seen because the object absorbs all colors of light
    other than the color you see it as.

    #1484624

    Flamingos are naturally white. Their color is caused by
    a high level of pigments in their diet.

    Typically pluralizing an English word by adding an “s” to the end implies a greater amount than the singular. For example, dollar/dollars, computer/computers, etc.

    What word(s) when pluralized by adding an “s” to the end implies a lesser amount than the singular?

    How do you create a magic square from numbers 1-9 where they all appear once and adds up to 15
    horizontally, vertically and diagonally?

    Start with 2 4 then fill in the blanks 2 9 4
    7 5 3
    6 8 6 1 8

    Moderator: Why are the numbers not aligned? When I wanted to edit it, they became aligned. The numbers were not pasted but created right here. For this to work alignment is important.

    start with 2 space 4 leave the next row blank and under 2 and 4 place 6 and 8 then fill in the blanks to add up to 15. The result is 2 9 4 place under it 7 5 3 and under it 6 1 8.

    The alignment changes depending on the size of your browser window. Here you go:

    Some non-Jews make a (non-Orthodox-type) bar/bat-mitzvah-style party for their children.
    Weird, eh? (If they’re black, they might refer to it as a “black mitzvah.” I’m not making this up.)
