Eight things to ponder in ‘08
As the year comes to a close, here are some random thoughts about the events of 2007.
As the year comes to a close, here are some random thoughts about the events of 2007.- If Time magazine selects their “Person of the Year” in the second week of December, is there any value in making headlines during the last two weeks of the year?
- With the recent discovery of a pyramid in Mexico City it is now believed it was first settled in 1325. If Columbus did not discover the new world until 167 years later, could the Aztecs have discovered it?
- Because Mexico City has been continually populated since being founded by the Aztecs in the 14th century, could it be that Aztecs didn’t vanish, they just quietly blended into another culture?
- Now that cell phone usage is widely accepted by the luxury-shrugging Amish people, should there be a law prohibiting talking on one while driving a horse-drawn carriage?
- Why is there so much infighting in cultures?
- Men in the Baby Boomer generation use Grecian Formula to color their hair. If it is so good why are there Greeks with grey hair?
- If people want others to know about their culture, why don’t they contribute to MBC Global’s Cultural Bridges?
- There are at least three sports on the globe called “football”. All of them use hands at some point in the sport to hold the ball. Why then can’t handball players ever use their feet kick the ball?
