Why is it that when someone dies the typical response is "He/she is in a better place now" or "They are in heaven with God", but at the same time it is a sad occassion?

If those statements are true, then shouldn't you be happy for the person who died? Isn't it just selfish to wish they were still here?

These are honest questions... I'm not "picking on the Christians", so please no smartass comments.

Please translate the following for me please.

शाश्वतं मम हृदये

Thanks

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time,

and this should help get you started.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the

criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a

straw, a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to

empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the

bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

What would you do?

1. Is an old hundred dollar bill better than a new one?

2. My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick, Fat, I am slow, Wind is my foe.

3. What is bought by the yard and worn by the foot?

4. When can you add 2 to 11 and get 1 as the right answer?

5. What has six faces but cannot smile, 21 eyes but cannot see?

6. I know a word of letters three, add two and fewer there will be.

7. Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?

The word is something that everyone uses every day.

If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word — from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time? There is more than one possible answer, but do not use plural form of nouns.

Are the moths commiting suicide or you commiting murder?

Any other odd inquiries you have had?
