Aoi Inu Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 THIS SHOULD RATTLE YOUR BRAINS A LITTLE If you ever feel stupid, then just read on. If you've learned to speak fluent English, you must be a genius! This little treatise on the lovely language we share is only for the brave. Peruse at your leisure, English lovers. Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn: 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail 18) After a number of injections my jaw got number. 19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests 21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France (Surprise!). Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. P.S. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

Aoi Inu Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) The origin of the name Elizabeth A KABBALISTIC SYNOPSIS (Hebrew not shown)--ALYZABYTh (Aleph, Lamed, Yod, Zayin, Aleph, Beth, Yod, Tau) If Eliza is likely to be involved with construction, it would be reasonable to expect that Elizabeth has even stronger ties with this field; her name is made by adding the full spelling of Beth, meaning "house," to the end of Eliza. However, the Kabbalah is never straightforward, and like a Buddhist koan or riddle, it is constantly presenting us with paradox after paradox. Elizabeth's name can be reduced to eleven, which is the number of magic, and she is likely to have a long-standing interest--if not an active involvement--in the occult or the unexplained. The house signified by Beth is not a physical house but a representation of Elizabeth's complex worldview. Elizabeth likes to be able to categorize, which may manifest itself as a desire to control. She sees the world in some ways as a jigsaw puzzle that fails to make sense only because the pieces are not quite in the right place. In order to solve the puzzle, she brings a sense of the religious or spiritual. But although Elizabeth likes the world to make sense, she also wants it to retain its soul. The first half of the name, Eliza, refers not to physical construction but to a more mysterious building process: the building of a magical or spiritual understanding. Elizabeth retains Eliza's inner strength and potentially vicious tongue, and these will both stand her in good stead when faced with snide comments and ridicule for her beliefs. THE RUNIC INTERPRETATION (Runes not shown) (Thurisaz, Ehwaz, Berkana,Ansuz, Algiz, Isa, Laguz, Ehwaz) Elizabeth is most fortunate to have Thurisaz, the gateway, in her name, which provides her a place in her mind to gather strength and contemplate hidden aspects of the self. The Algiz energy of protection cautions against emotional extreme, so Elizabeth seeks to remain calm and stable. Elizabeth is aware of her personal power, and for her this equals self-discipline, which is her strongest asset. Elizabeth is probably drawn to politics or the courtroom. She is highly motivated to fight for a cause and is persuasive and heartfelt in her appeals for justice. Elizabeth is not easily intimidated, and when the going gets tough, Elizabeth quadruples her efforts and emerges victorious. Elements: Fire, air, air/earth, air, earth, water, air THE NUMEROLOGICAL INTERPRETATION Elizabeth (NV = 7, CV = 5, VV = 2, FL = 5) Elizabeth is a name that gives abilities in all mental pursuits. A woman possessed of a wide variety of intellectual interests, Elizabeth has a very introspective side to her nature, and will find no problem spending time alone investigating what beckons to her. At the same time, her relationships are most important to her sense of personal completion. She requires a partner who will be supportive of her more subjective moments and enjoy sharing her urge to travel and explore all of life's many possibilities. DERIVATION: English, originally from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning "oath of God." Found in the Old Testament as the wife of Aaron, and in the New Testament as the mother of John the Baptist. First became popular with the rise of Queen Elizabeth I in the sixteenth century. Has become extremely popular in the twentieth century. PRINCIPAL COLORS: Gold, the palest to the deepest shades of green and yellow GEMSTONES AND PRECIOUS METALS: White stones, including pearls and moonstones BOTANICALS: Elder, hops, juniper UNIQUE SPELLINGS: Alisabeth, Alizabeth, Elisabeth, Elizahbeth RELATED TO: Bess, Bessie, Beth, Bethany, Betsy, Betty, Elisa, Elisabet, Elisabetta, Elise, Eliza, Elizabetta, Elsbeth, Else, Elsie, Elspeth, Ilse, Isabel, Isabelle, Lis, Lisa, Lisbet, Lise, Lisette, Liz, Liza, Lizzie "People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." --DR.
