It pays to be careful around old people

April 7, 2008 in Humor

Colin, the bus driver was driving with a bus load of old ladies down the motorway when he was tapped on his shoulder by one of them.

She offered him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munched up. After about 15 minutes, she tapped him on his shoulder again and she handed him another handful of peanuts.

She repeated this gesture about five more times.

When she was about to hand him another batch he asked the little old lady, ‘Why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself?’.

‘We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth’, she replied.

Puzzled, Colin asked, ‘Why do you buy them then?’

The old lady replied, ‘We just love the chocolate around them.’

The Two Rivers (must see)

Below shown photos are of the two rivers flowing in southern part near Cape Town , South Africa.

These rivers flow together and there nature came to know in the starting of 20th century where as ALLAH (SWT)mentioned the nature of these two rivers in Holy Quran around 1400years Back.

These two river flow together and finally settle down in the Ocean,taste of one river is extreamly sweet whereas the taste of another river is extreamly opposite (that is bitter) but they never mix.There is nothing in between these rivers which stops them from mixing together but its is the will & order of the Almighty ALLAH.

Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.

The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God has said:

“He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress. ” (Quran, 55:19-20)

Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density. For example, Mediterranean sea water is warm, saline, and less dense, compared to Atlantic ocean water. When Mediterranean sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1000 meters with its own warm, saline, and less dense characteristics.

Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a “pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers. This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water.
