Turn one light switch on, wait a few minutes, then turn it off and turn another light switch on. Go into the room and feel the light bulbs. The one that s still warm is connected to the switch that you first turned on, the one that is on was the second switch you turned on, and the last bulb is controlled by the switch that you didn t touch.

APRIL FOOLS DAY Despite having no official recognition, April 1 st has long been recognized as a day to celebrate, well, foolishness to be exact. More specifically, April Fools Day is about making other people look stupid with practical jokes. The most common theory about the earliest April Fools celebrations goes like this: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull decreeing a new standard calendar for Christian Europe that would take his name and centuries later become the standard internationally in the 21st century. CHALLENGE YOUR BRAIN LIGHTS OUT!! There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position. How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs? SUDOKU Given the nature of the reform, both in terms of communicating such a fundamental change to a large population and dealing with critics of the new calendar, some Europeans continued to celebrate the new year between March 25 and April 1. April fools were those who still celebrated the holiday in the spring, and were the subject of pranks and ridicule by those who observed the new year months ago.
Observations on Aging As you get older, your secrets are safe with your friends. They can't remember them either. You can't stay young forever. But, you can be immature for your entire life. I live in my own little world. But it's okay --- they know me here. Forget health food. I'm at the age where I need all the preservatives I can get. I would be unstoppable, if I could only get started... Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and many of the roads weren't paved. You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. LIVE LOVE & LAUGH OFTEN!!!

APRIL Birthdays April Birthstone Diamond is the birthstone for April, a fitting gem to symbolize the start of something new just like springtime. The word diamond is derived from the Greek word adamas meaning invincible, which is an appropriate way to describe those born in the month of April. April babies are more likely to display strong leadership and have an assertive nature. These Diamond-wearers are more likely to be extroverted. Horoscope for Aries (April 1-20) Aries people have a great instinct for what needs to be done, and once you decide what it is, then it is full steam ahead. You can never be accused of laziness because 110% is where you kick off each day. Of course, not all Aries traits are positive ones. Being a fire sign means you are energetic, so you want to go out there and change the world with no halfmeasures in sight. This can come across as arrogant, but it is only because you have incredible confidence in your ability to get things done. You don t like being told what to do. Gladys M. APRIL 13 th Donnie B. APRIL17 th Shirley P. APRIL 24 th Shirley S. APRIL 27 th Horoscope for Taurus (April 21-30) You have an earthy nature, and because of your practicality, you can be thought of as a bit tight-fisted. It s true that you have a fear of change, and you need to think before you leap into the abyss. When you take on a project, you give it a great deal of thought, focus completely on the task and won t cut corners. You also dislike doing more than one thing at a time, but whatever you do is done properly.
