GLOW-IN-THE-DARK
The Netherlands is planning to construct glow-in-the-dark roads

It will help highlight the white lines marking lanes
With
A special paint that remains illuminated up to 10 hours at night

..Special weather features like snowflakes will also be painted onto the road & will illuminate when the temp falls below a certain point

Hoping that this will improve road safety & awareness of weather conditions
i can only wish my beloved Nigeria will have such a vision some day sad cry

COMMON MISCONCEPTION
The idea that lightning never strikes the
same place twice is an old superstition *storm*

There is no reason why it wouldn't
..if there is a thunderstorm in a given area, then objects & places which are more prominent/conductive are more likely 2 be struck

For instance, lightning strikes the Empire State Building in NY about 100 times per year (hehe, dt building don suffer grin)

Qn;
Other superstitions about lightning u've heard?

COMMON MISCONCEPTION
The word " jihad" does not always mean
" holy war "

The word in Arabic means "struggle" or "resisting"

..al-jihad fi sabil Allah

While there is such a thing as " jihad bil saif", or jihad "by the sword", many modern Islamic scholars usually say that it implies an effort or struggle of a spiritual kind

..Trying to be a good Muslim is jihad
Nice jihad people

grin dey kicked us black people out of europe when the white man came back in power during the 1300s in what is called the european rennaisance. the white man re-emerged and kicked us all out and those who didnt get kicked out got bred back to white meaning they made a conscious effort to whiten everyone back to white. after 5 generations they all became white again. like they would make a black man marry a white woman. and the mixed race kid would marry a white woman etc etc. by the time you get to the great grandkids called octaroons, they are fully white. and this is how europe became white again. its all hidden history.

they discovered all the skulls of there ancestors and were surprised they were black. but they still trying to cover up the lie. watch this

COMMON MISCONCEPTION rated +18 (if you no reach waka pass this 1 grin)

Sex & Sports: Good Combo

Many coaches say athletes should skip sex before the big game

There is no physiological basis for the belief that having sex in the days leading up to a sporting event or contest is detrimental to performance

In fact it has been suggested that sex prior to sports activity can elevate the levels of testosterone in males, which could potentially enhance their performance

[size=15pt]COMMON MISCONCEPTION [/size]

Saul of Tarsus, Paul the Apostle

He didn't change his name to Paul after his conversion experience on the road to Damascus

He was born a Jew with a Roman citizenship inherited from his father,
& thus carried both a Hebrew & a Latin name since his birth

He used "Saul" (שָׁאוּל,) in Jewish contexts & "Paul" (Paulus) as an international missionary

Acts 13:9 :
"...Saul, who also is called Paul..."
