More Americans know the big mac ingredients than the ten commandments.
"Quick. Name each of the Ten Commandments. OK. Now name the ingredients in a Big Mac hamburger sold at McDonald's.
According to a new survey, the Big Mac wins the memory contest. ...
The vast majority of those surveyed could easily name the primary ingredients in a Big Mac: two all-beef patties (80 percent), lettuce (76 percent), sesame-seed bun (75 percent), special sauce (66 percent), pickles (62 percent) and cheese (60 percent).
By comparison, "You shall not kill" was known to fewer than six in 10 respondents. Less than half (45 percent) could recall the commandment to "Honor your father and mother."
Even those who said they go to church at least once a week had trouble naming all of the commandments."

This blog offers a mixture of genealogy, confused contrarian ideas and selected b*y ruminations.
Pablo Carpintero
- Pablo Carpintero
- your devoted servant, is a happily retired economist, and way too old to mend his ways. Pablo knows that many economists have the perfidious tendency to turn into professional idiots. That's why his rule of life is to be as contrarian as possible, and then some ...

Genealogy
is a passion, not a hobby.
This blog
is dedicated to most of my nieces who think genealogy is a total loss of time. It is also dedicated to the one who protests she never said that and who helped me develop this blog.

after all those years
still the first on the web ?
still the first on the web ?
2 comments:
"Bovenal bemin één god,
vloek, laster noch spot,
Vader, moeder zult gij eren..."
en dan nog iets over "huppeldepup laten"
"doe niet wat onkuisheid is"
ik weet dat er nog "niet begeren, niet moorden en niet stelen" bijzit, maar in welke rijmvorm ontgaat me.
Let wel, heb nooit 1 les godsdienst gehad, en compleet atheïstisch opgevoed, maar moesten van thuis uit ogen en geest openhouden en respect opbrengen voor ieders geloof. Zit ik er een beetje dicht bij? En hoe ging het originele rijm weer?
Niet slecht, Lebbercherrie, niet slecht. Ik heb ze, nu bijna zestig jaar geleden, nog zo geleerd :
Bovenal bemin één God.
Zweer niet ijdel, vloek noch spot.
Heilig steeds de dag des Heren.
Vader moeder zult gij eren.
Dood niet, geef geen ergernis.
Doe nooit wat onkuisheid is.
Vlucht het stelen en bedriegen.
Ook de achterklap en het liegen.
Wees steeds kuis in uw gemoed.
En begeer nooit iemands goed.
Ik heb wat hulp gezocht op internet, maar zonder zou het zeker ook nog gelukt zijn...
