The seven wonders.

[Tillaway]

 group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper, so she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.

The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to see
2. to taste
3. to touch
4. to hear

She hesitated a little, and then added,

5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. This is a gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought.

Amen, Tillaway.  That is why I became a teacher, because "from the mouths of babes" I would often have to stop and thank them for their insight to living  life. :P  Thank you for the great reminder, as well as for the awareness of the greatness for today, yesterday and all of my tomorrows.

Or they could be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Then, you get to see them all over again.

question from my last freshman science test

Why does bouncing require more force or impulse than just stopping?

answer from one of my students

Gravitys down with that.

SPECIAL :D

Things must have been a hell of a mess before they passed that gravity law.
