charlie brown

shadow,

are you serious or kidding? I was quoting brooklyn there. I’m a male.

brooklyn,

actually to be honest I had the same problem as you so I typed it correctly in notepad and then did a replace all to change every e to i.

squeak,

thanks. That does help.

mod99,

no, according to the ikkar hadin you are 6 ahead. According to the mehadrin you are 3 ahead and according to the chumras YWN CR you are 15 Sufganiyot behind schedule.

but on chanuka everyone goes all out, not with the ikkar hadin, so go get moving and eat some donuts now!!!

Gavra_at_work,

thanks for starting this thread! I just looked quickly at that gemara, not be’iyun, so if I’m wrong I’d appreciate someone correcting me.

There seems to be 2 separate things, a rubah d’leisah kaman and a statistical proof. The latter is called a chazaka or an umdena. The camel case is a chazaka not a ruba d’leisa kaman. Also, to answer squeak’s question, the case was that this particular camel was next to the dead camel so between the fact that it was right there and the fact that camels during that time normally get violent there is an umdena that this camel killed the other one.

A ruba d’leisa kaman is by definition a statistical majority, i.e. more than 50%, not a statistical certainty.

The gemara starts out on 92b with a machlokes between rav and shmuel if by financial issues we go by rov to force someone to pay. The case there is a ruba d’leisa kaman – when someone bought a cow which turns out be a gorer and the buyer says its a mekach ta’us and wants his money back. The seller says he doesn’t have to return the money because it is fit for shechita and that’s what he was selling it for (even though he never said so prior to the sale). Rav says the seller has to return the money because there is a rubah dleisah kaman that most people who buy cows are buying it to use it and not for slaughter, so if this cow was only suitable for slaughter the seller should have said so. Shmuel agrees that there is such a rov but says that the seller doesn’t have to return the money anyway because we don’t go by rov in dinei momenos.

Then on 93a the gemara wants to compare this to the case of the camels where its more than a ruba d’leisa kaman, instead its a statistical certainty.

The gemara wants to say though that the 2 cases would have the same halacha as each other, but then the gemara says that this is not necessarily the case. One can hold of ruba and still not go by chazaka in the camel case because over there there is also a rov that says not like the chazaka, namely squeak’s rov – that there are many camels in the world that could have done it so why say it was this one. Or you can not hold of rov and still go by chazaka because chazaka is more of a certainty than a rov.

anytime. That will be $175.

brooklyn,

lol. only an hour, why?

maybe in brooklyn all tickets are well deserved but in Monsey the cops sometimes seem to look for excuses to give tickets. For example can anybody tell me one good reason why the speed limit on College Road near RCC is only 30 MPH, the same as a typical winding side street. That part of College Rd is 4 lanes and its straight not winding. And the cops sometimes wait in the area to give tickets to those who are going over 30.

brooklyn, glad to hear that!

brooklyn,

talk to a rov or rebbetzin about it. To lose your bashert ch”v because you want to be more straight than the halacha requires is not a good idea.

squiak, why do you cari about intilligint’s pinchants for switching thi littirs i and e?

brooklyn,

good point.

curious,

you didn’t have to be that honest, lol. I may be overweight but at least I haven’t aged at all.

myshadow,

thanks. Can I get a ride in your new wheels?

brooklyn,

another advantage of being a mod, you get to see the ones that were NOT fit to print. 🙂

maybe someone can provide shadow with an ascii art new car? 🙂

yenta101,

I don’t know either what drunken draidel is but if it involves getting drunk then its gotta be good, lol.

hey, I finally got it!!

squeak,

I have never had another screenname here other than charlie brown, but I was a reader/lurker for a while before I signed up as a member. However, I see that the blogspot site ended in may of ’06 so I may be mistaken about having started reading that far back, I may have started after it was moved to theyeshivaworld.com, but it had more of a blogspot format here for the first few months I think.

FOr those who asked how long the CR was around, I think the launch was at the bottom of this mailbag article on the main site this past june.

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/Out+Of+The+Mailbag/19684/Out+Of+The+Mailbag:+(Flatbush+Kiddush:+Tznius+&+Drinking+Out+Of+Control).html

anyone else remember if that was the first mention of its existence?

squeak,

I love that svara about fat molecules being too big to fit into small pieces of food. Makes perfect sense to me. 🙂

qaws,

do you also expect her to text you during the date where they are?

Brooklyn,

swiped? me? I came up with it myself. just an inborn artistic flair.

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure so I cheated and looked in wikipedia. Seems like we’re both right. Marcie and Peppermint Patty both liked charlie brown.

lol, yeah I was in lala land ;-}

I’m gonna try my donut again.

hope that works and that it tastes good.

wow, when I picked this screen name I didn’t realize I’d need to be an expert on the peanuts gang, lol.

no, the red haired girl was just talked about but I don’t think she had a name. I’m not sure if she even existed or if she was just a part of charlie’s imagination. Peppermint Patty I think liked charlie brown, Lucy definitely didn’t. She always tried to make his life miserable which is why I said “uh oh” before.
