  Today's Word – INVEIGH
   

 


in·veigh intransitive verb in·veighed, To give vent to angry disapproval; protest vehemently. [Latin invehº, to attack with words, inveigh against, passive of invehere, to carry in : in-, in; + vehere, to carry]


"This is bad," muttered Passepartout, "for the gentlemen of the Reform Club!" He accosted Fix with a merry smile, as if he had not perceived that gentleman's chagrin. The detective had, indeed, good reasons to inveigh against the bad luck which pursued him. The warrant had not come! It was certainly on the way, but as certainly it could not now reach Hong Kong for several days; and this being the last English territory on Mr. Fogg's route, the robber would escape, unless he could manage to detain him.

AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS
Jules Verne 


The labour, new as it was to the soldiery of the capital, broke their spirits. All the oldest among them began to inveigh against their own credulity, and to point out the difficulty and danger of their position, if on those open plains Caecina and his army were to surround their scanty forces.

What does a 'bean' have to do with insects?

The Jumping Bean


Mexican jumping beans seem to be hard to find today. I used to like to watch them. I enjoyed warming them up in my hand and watching them move.

The bean moth named Carpocapa saltitans is the critter that is responsible for making the "bean" jump. The moth lays its eggs in the flowers or in the seed pods of the spurge. The spurge is a bush known as Euphorbia sebastiana. The egg hatches inside the seed pod. The larva or caterpillar of the bean moth is born.

The jumping of the bean is causes by the active shifting of the weight inside the shell as the caterpillar moves. The jumps of the bean are stimulated by the sunshine or by heat from the palm of the hand.

Today's SMILE

 

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)

  
   

 

 

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."

NEWS FLASH Friday evening

A notorious murderer has just escaped from the State Penitentiary. Police advise members of the public that they should not approach him at any costs, but report any sightings to their nearest police station.

NEWS FLASH Saturday afternoon

The convict who escaped from State Penitentiary late Friday evening is safely back in custody after surrendering himself to police early this morning.

When asked why he gave himself up after his first taste of freedom for twelve years, he replied "When I finally got home, the first thing my wife asked me was `Where have you been? You escaped eight hours ago!" 

smile The Orangutan

One day the zoo-keeper noticed that the orangutan was reading two books--the Bible and Darwin's Origin of Species.

In surprise he asked the ape, "Why are you reading both those books"?

"Well," said the orangutan , "I just wanted to know if I was my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother."

The Smart Gorilla

A scientist has had remarkable success teaching a gorilla to talk, and decides to introduce the ape to other forms of human social interaction, so he takes him to his local golf course.

At the first tee, the gorilla asks "So, what do I do?"

The scientist points into the distance and explains "You see that green way over there with the flag? You have to hit the ball towards it"

So the gorilla belts the ball and it flies 440 yards straight onto the green, coming to a stop a few inches from the hole.

The scientist is stunned but carries on, taking 4 shots to reach the green himself.

When they get to the green, the gorilla asks "So, what do I do?"

The scientist points at the cup and says "Now you hit the ball into the cup"

"Why the heck didn't you tell me that back on the tee?" asks the gorilla.

Always There

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, when he finally woke, he motioned for her to come closer.

As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here.
When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?"

"What dear?" She gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.

"I think you're bad luck."

A father was at the beach with his children when his four year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a sea gull lay dead in the sand.

"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

TRUE FACT ...

Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day.
