Hallo all of you,

Here is a little something, which coul be added to the deabte on the number 7...


Life and Death

Nasrudin - the famous trickster from The Middle East - climbed a tre to saw through a branch. A 
passer-by who saw what he was doing cried: 'Look 
out! You are on the wrong side of the branch. You 
will fall with it.'

'Am I a fool that should believe you; or are you a seer that 
you can tell me the future?' demanded Nasrudin.

Soon afterwards, however, the branch gave way, and he fell 
to the ground. Nasrudin ran to catch up with the other man.
'Your prediction has been fulfilled! Tell me now, how shall I
die?'

However much he tried, the other man could not now convince
Nasrudin that he was not a seer. Ultimately he lost his temper
and said: 'You might as well die now.'

As soon as he heard these words the Nasrudin fell down and lay
still. His neighbours cam and found him and put him in a coffin.
As they were walking towards the cemetery, there was a dispute
as to the shortest route. Nasrudin lost his patience. Raising his
head from the coffin he said: 'When I was alive, I used to turn
LEFT here - that is the quickest way.'



I hope you learned something...
But maybe Spiderman knows more about this, 
not being a real human and all...(smile...)
