Test your own knowledge with these ten questions, just for fun ! (Hint: not all are "paranormal".1) In Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the first manifestation experienced by Ebenezer Scrooge was;

c) The face of his deceased father.
2) In 1917, two young English girls took photographs of fairies widely acclaimed as genuine by photography experts and others including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Did they?

I know form personal experience that it works. I heard on television tonight from a woman in Florida, USA that she believes holding a cracker in your mouth while cutting onions helps to keep you from crying. I can't imagine how that would be effective, but I don't dismiss it either, at least until I try it.Do you know any other ways to do it?~

It noted that wage growth for lower-income people had actually passed wage growth for higher income people. This may be true, but it is also largely irrelevant.The numbers I recall were 5% wage growth for low-income workers versus about 4% for high-income workers. That sounds nice, but consider 5% of $20k is $1,000. In comparison, 4% of $100k is $4,000. So, with this fabulous reversal in wage growth statistics, wealth/income inequality still continues to grow dramatically.Another one is the debate about NATO member spending on their military budgets, which was tied to GDP (e.g. member nations were supposed to spend a certain percentage of GDP on defense). This doesn't make ANY sense. While it's true that, all other things being equal, a nation-state's military capability is largely proportional to its economic capacity (which is why the Allies crushed the Axis powers in WWII). But all other things are almost never equa... less

But I've found cleaning the windows to be a continual exercise in frustration. No matter what products I use or how diligently I go over things, I still see streaks and swirls of dirt. The past few times I've washed my car, I have NOT cleaned the windows...and I haven't really noticed any difference. I don't end up thinking, "Wow, I wish I would have cleaned those windows." Quite the contrary, it seems to me that the not-cleaned windows (other than the inevitable cleaning from spraying them with car wash soap, rinsing, and drying them) are less noticeably dirty than when I go at them with Windex and other such products.Does anyone have an explanation for this? less
