Dang, I didn't even get bonus points for being the first person to point out that the sky has to be dark in order to see stars! <pout>

For today's answer, it's crap. And Dogdoc's got it wrong... "Dalai Lama" *is* Mongolian, but the translation has nothing to do with "keeper of the faith."

Most scholars agree that the implied translation means "Ocean of Wisdom". I think the literal translation is "ocean teacher" or something.

Argh! I missed a bad astronomy question!

Crap on the Dalai Lama question.

(And I misread the comment about the armistice ending the war; I thought you meant the fighting didn't end for several months. The armistice ended the fighting, but you're right, the Treaty formally ended the war.)

Dalai Lama actually means, 'Poor little baby boy taken from his mother as soon as he is weaned'.

I said hello, Dalai,......well, hello, Daili
It’s so nice to have you back where you belong

You’re lookin’ swell, Dalai.......I can tell, Dalai
You’re still glowin’...you’re still crowin’...you’re still goin’ strong

I feel that room swayin’......while the band’s playin’
One of your old favourite chants from way back when

So..... take his wrap, fellas.......Let him take a a nap, fellas
Dalai’ll never go away again"



crap!

Good evening, FoCers! I finished knitting a purse today and made an attempt to felt it. Not sure how it's going to turn out - have to wait for it to dry before I decide if it's a keeper or not. :-)

Anyway, the question on hand is:

Is Dalai Lama a Mongolian title meaning "Keeper of the Faith?"

Once everyone realized the question about this:
dalai
and not this:
llama
here's what you said:
Fact 2
Crap 18

Wow, no close call on this one! Here's what the Calendar Cowboys had to say:

It's bc <--Not to be confused with a llama.
"It's a Tibetan title meaning 'Ocean of Wisdom' and refers to the spirtual leader and head of state of the Tibetan people. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama. According to custom, he began his monastic training at age six and has since become a revered religious figure the world over."

sing Thanks to Babyruth for the musical interlude today! :-)

Onward to the question for Tuesday, February 21, 2006:

Russians are happier with their sex lives than any other nationality on earth.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Fact. I'm using the same logic as Wargod, but I'm saying that BECAUSE it's so cold, they spend more time in bed under the covers! :-)

Crap!!!

Do Russians even HAVE sex? How often do you see little Russian munchkins running around when they show clips of any part of Russia? And oh yeah... you've gotta take your CLOTHES off to have sex, and in those temps, well... you couldn't PAY me to be nekkid long enough to conceive!

Then again, let's pull the question apart... the key was "happier with their sex lives". So maybe they are happy with the (presumably little) sex they get. Maybe the old "Russian hands" adage does plenty for the men 'n woman in the former Soviet Republic?

Nah. Still crap! :0

Crap - they are too busy drinking all that Vodka to have much of a sex life.

Isn't that why there are so many of these?

Fact.

They are so drunk on all the vodka, they are happy about everything all the time.
