moish, you wore it? Good for you! If ya keep it up, it will get more comfortable.
~a~
kapusta: fine, i’ll have my Butler James bring you over your ice cream!
Jax, his name isn’t smithers? 😉 (does anyone know what I’m talking about?)
kapusta: no our’s is James! and no not Alfred either!
does anyone else know about smithers? guess not.
kapusta: nope! i was gonna post a rhetorical question about your age, but i had second thoughts for some reason 😉
where’d moish disappear?
~a~
anonymisss: he went to eat potato kugel!
Jax, and he didnt share 🙁
this thread is WAY off topic, (mod, I deserve a thank you for that)
to get back on track…
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot. 😉
72, is it worth it for me to try and find more? 🙂
moish: that’s a very interesting one! here’s another one, chulent taste way better on shobbos then on thursday night, friday night & sunday night!
moish: sure is!
Jax, of course, it’s cooking the entire shabbos!
“geez…”
I have to say this – that word is a particular one that really should not be used by Jews, as it derives from the name jesus (yes, it really does, I am not making this up), and even the word “gee” or the expression “gee whiz” are from that as well. The name was often used as a curseword, and the abbreviated forms came into being as people stopped using the actual name to swear. There are people who even say “cheese and crackers” as a substitute for a stronger curse word. Just wanted to let you know, in case you didn’t.
oomis: i had no idea, thanx!
This may not qualify as uncommon, but it is interesting.
The chart below lists which days of the week various yomim tovim and tanesim can fall out on.
There are four different types of years listed below, starting with the days Purim can fall out on.
This year is #2 (Purim on Tue, Pesach on Thu, Shavuos on Fri, etc.)
Purim Pesach Shavuos 17th of Tamuz/ Rosh Hashanah/ Yom Kippur Chanukah 10th of Teves Tu BiShvat
Tisha B'Av Sukkos/
Shmini Atzeres

I can only try: that’s pretty cool! thank you!
i can only try: where did you get all that from?
Interesting and (Un)common fact: Potato kugel tastes much better on friday than it does on Shabbos 😉
Probably because the smell of fresh potato kugel baking is beyond belief. It is way stronger on Friday night, because it is usually right from the oven. Cholent is ebtter on Shabbos day than on Thursday or Friday, because it has the benefit of all night Shabbos cooked into it.
mroosinsehry: he wrote on the bottom,(Chart copied from Wikipedia)! oh & welcome to the cr!
oomis: with the chulent, if you make chulent on a wednesday for a thursday night for buchrim, some how it’s not the same as shobbos still! just sayin from experience!
Jax-
Thank you.
I find it interesting, and it can also be useful in quickly seeing the number of vacation days needed for yomim tovim without going thru the entire calendar:
1) 12 assur b’melocha days fall out on weekdays.
2) 6
3) 9
4) 10
(Purim, Tisha B’Av and Hoshana Rabba, etc. are not included in the above numbers)
mroosinsehry-
Hi.
“Jax” answered your question.
ICOT: they had that on wikipedia? cool.

Uncommon knowledge: dogs smell fear. So if you are terrified of dogs and usually run by, you should walk calmly, but close your nose :). The next person I see doing that will be a real giveaway 😉
you mean close the dog’s nose
haha- I meant the person should hold his/her breath (close nose, mouth ears etc. ;);))
but then again- maybe your idea is better. Tell the owner to close the dog’s nose… not bad, not bad 😉
Or just say ‘Ulichal bnei yisroel…’. Works great without making yourself look like a fool in front of the owner of the dog whose busy smirking at you.
you kidding me moish? I do it all the time! And it works like a charm. Unless the dogs are really scared of me so they dont try barking and starting up with the big, great mepal!
moish, sqak iz doun in the lybrarie studeeing hiz grammer. Maybee him kan halp yu with et.
aussieboy-
You can also find all kinds of interesting Jewish info on wikipedia, such as biographical info about rishonim, achronim, etc.
ames-

charlie brown-
That’s Charlie Gordon’s writing style, not Charlie Brown’s.
😉
that’s really interesting, ames. almost (most important word of sentence 😉 ) makes me want to try it
ames: that’s hilarious!
ames-
I believe you’re thinking of “at bash gar dak”
?’? ?’? ?’? ?’?
(explanation copied from sichosinenglish site)
ames: or lo badu rosh, lo adu pesach!
ames: sorry i gatta redo jaymatt’s hebrew letter firefox add on to explain better!
it’s actually–low adu rosh, low badu pesach-rosh hashana can’t fall out on a sunday, wed, fri & pesach can’t fall out on a mon, wed, fri! the letters adu , badu corespond to the days of the week! a monday, b tuesday….
ames-
You’re quite welcome – it’s my pleasure.
BTW – your “petting zoo” story was very funny.
Jax-
I didn’t know “lo badu rosh, lo adu pesach”.
Thank you for teaching me something new.
I can only try & ames: your welcome, i realized i made it sounds really confusing there! good you both got it!
it’s actually–low adu rosh, low badu pesach btw!
I believe jax was talking about the days of the week rosh hashana and pesach can not begin on. I think rosh hashana cannot begin on:
A-first day of the week-Sunday
D-fourth day of the week-Wednesday
U-sixth day of the week-Friday
Pesach cant begin on:
B-second day of the week-Monday
D-fourth day of the week-Wednesday
U-sixth day of the week-Friday
(when you spell out the words adu and badu in alef-beis, it works)
mepal: yeah that’s it! thanx for clarifying it!
nearsighted people have longer eyes, & farsighted people have flatter (shorter) eyes.
and what do astigmatismatic people have?
