Yanken's new nickname "Teri Jaan" has created confusion among PJs mind. What does it actually mean, is a well kept secret of Yanken, only known to her. Do any guy or girl hs an idea wot actually yanken wanna convey? Everyone is requested to post wot one thinks of yanken's new nick? Lemme be da first to comment on dt.

To me "Teri Jaan" conveys this hidden message from Yanken "Sonnen Teri jaan kadhni ma hun, bach ke rahi"

This married couple was sitting in a fine restaurant when the wife looks over at a nearby table and sees a man in a drunken stupor.

The husband asks, "I notice you've been watching that man for some time now. Do you know him?"

"Yes" she replies, "He's my ex-husband, and has been drinking like that since I left him seven years ago."

"That's remarkable" the husband replies, "I wouldn't think anybody could celebrate that long."

Smith and his wife, a middle-aged couple, went for a stroll in the park. They say down on a bench to rest. They overheard voices coming from a secluded spot.

Suddenly Mrs. Smith realized that a young man was about to propose.

Not wanting to eavesdrop at such an intimate moment, she nudged her husband and whispered, "Whistle and let that young couple know that someone can hear them."

Smith said, "Whistle? Why should I whistle? Nobody whistled to warn me."

A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some friends when the subject of marriage counseling came up.

"Oh, well never need that. My wife and I have a great relationship," the husband explained.

"She was a communications major in college and I majored in theatre arts."

He continued, "She communicates well and I act like Im listening."

A man was traveling down a country road when he saw a large group of people outside a house.

He stopped and asked a person why the large crowd was there.

A farmer replied, "Pappu's mule kicked his mother-in-law and she died."

"Well," replied the man, "she must have had a lot of friends."

"Nope," said the farmer, "we all just want to buy his mule."

Grandpa was celebrating his 100th birthday and everybody complimented him on how athletic and well-preserved he appeared.

"I will tell you the secret of my success," he cackled.

"My wife and I were married 75 years ago. On our wedding night, we made a solemn pledge. Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk.

"Gentlemen, I have been walking in the open air day after day for some 75 years now."

And I'm talking American money here, not stupid rubles or seashells or whatever they trade in Russia.

1) At one point there was a $500 bill, a $1,000 bill, a $5,000 bill, and a $10,000 bill.

Yes, the first thing I was shocked to learn was that although today the highest U.S. currency unit is indeed the hundred, there used to be a lot more baller bills out there. Just look at these bad boys, sporting William McKinley, Grover Cleveland, James Madison, and Salmon P. Chase (!?) respectively.

First of all, who the hell is Salmon P. Chase, and why does he get to be on a bill worth $127,000 today? A little more research revealed that Chase was actually a pretty big bad-ass - not only was he a Senator, Governor and U.S. Treasury Secretary, but he also served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Oh, and he had a bank named after him. Alright, Chase, I'll step off.

2) There was also once a $100,000 bill, which would be worth 1.6 million dollars today. And guess who was on it. Woodrow Wilson.


Are you kidding me? Woody frickin' Wilson? Look, I know the guy was a decent president and all, but on maybe the highest value bill ever printed in the whole world, I would have expected someone a little more dramatic. Like Elvis. Or God.

Unfortunately, the $100,000 bill was only used for direct bank gold purchases, and was only briefly in circulation: in 1969 President Nixon ordered the halt of circulation for all high-denomination bills, in an attempt to combat organized crime. I am now unsure if my dreams of slapping a bouncer in the face with a $100,000 bill will ever be realized.


3) On the other end of the spectrum, there was also once a 5-cent bill.


During the Civil War, people began hoarding coins because of their metal values, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing started printing bills for 50 cents, 25 cents, 5 cents and even 3 cents to fill the void. I couldn't find out what people were hoarding the coins for, but I hope it was for making guns that shot stacks of pennies at people, because what a great use of insult to injury. Though better than getting shot with Confederate dollars, I suppose.

4) At one point, the copper needed to make a penny cost more than a penny.


This obviously needed to change, lest we have hoards of homeless people roaming about collecting pennies to melt in giant vats to make copper wire and such. This is why pennies since 1982 are made of zinc, with thin coatings of copper.

Similar metal price-increases have also spurred changes with the silver in dimes and quarters; in fact, the only coin that has stayed the same (except for a brief period in WWII) is the nickel, because nickel is such a broke-ass metal.

For comparison, paper bills cost 3 cents to make, regardless of their denomination.

5) The special paper that money is printed on comes from only one paper company in Massachusetts.


Oh, and it gets shipped to the mints in an armored car.

It's illegal to have any of this paper, even for non-counterfeiting purposes like drawing paper for your kids, or folding really expensive origami swans.


Bonus Stupid Fact:
(because I love you so much, and because the first two were kinda the same fact) :happy:
The most commonly counterfeited made-up bills are the $3 bill, the $200 bill, the $22 bill, and the $1,000,000 bill.


The $22 bill was entirely made up by this numberologist street-entertainer in Florida who changed his name to Love-22 and tried to run for President. He has twice been arrested for counterfeiting, but both times gotten off on the grounds that "since there is no such thing as a 22 dollar bill, it is impossible to counterfeit what doesn't exist".

It's funny until a cop having a bad day accidentally puts a night stick in your teeth for public intoxication and "resisting arrest".

Yes, and I made a T-shirt about it with all the tax dollars I don't have.


They might do it just for the irony.


Mostly if it's attached to this guy
.
I'm sure they'd appreciate the artistic qualities.

Nothing like a good attitude to get your face pounded by the police.

Well, by black cops anyway.


I mostly just included this one for the guy, who rules.

And then, of course, there's this one...

Here comes the truth about 10 of the most widely believed misconceptions out there.To be honest,I thought these were true, too. So in an effort to straighten things out - and also get to make fun of history heres da truth.

  1.EINSTEIN GOT BAD GRADES IN SCHOOL.
Um... have you heard about this guy Einstein? Famous physicist? Relativity and all that? A genius, even? I'm pretty sure little Albert could handle his business in 4th grade arithmetic. Yes, contrary to popular belief, Einstein was a top student in elementary school, getting mostly top grades on the German grading scale of 1-6, which silly Americans later assumed, backwardly, were "D"s. The idea stuck because everybody loves the idea that their poor student can go on to great things. Sorry, parents, Einstein was teaching himself calculus at age 12. Your little lip-twiddling 'tard will be working at Hardee's.

  2.Mice like cheese
Why would mice like cheese? Processed cow milk is not exactly available to them in their natural habitat, is it? No, mice MUCH prefer peanut butter, breakfast cereals, and other things similar to the grains and seeds they've gotten used to over millions of years of evolution. In fact, some mice are even lactose intolerant and will die if they eat cheese.Sorry, Tom and Jerry :plz:

  3.Napoleon was short
Nope. Napolean was 5'7", average height for a Frenchman of the time. I don't think he was particularly angry either, though we seem to have no trouble citing him as both the paragon and origin of the "short man's syndrome" so common at New Jersey nightclubs. The confusion came from the difference between the British inch and the French 'pouce', which was longer, and made Brits think Napoleon was only around 5'3", a misconception which British propaganda was happy to propagate.

  4.Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb
Edison was a smart, but he didn't invent the light bulb - somebody else had already done that by the time he started fiddling with the idea. Edison did, however, invent the first light bulb that actually worked well, at the same time as another guy, Joseph Swan. Edison got to be famous for it though, because he beat Swan in ro-sham-bo, and then bitch-slapped him.

  5.Lemmings Throw Themselves Over Cliffs
What, are lemmings retarded? Yes, mass suicide sounds like a wonderful evolutionary trait to have built into your species to ensure its survival. Lemmings do no such thing, except occasionally when they're drunk at bachelor parties. This great misconception was perpetrated by none other than Disney, who, in all their evil, decided their early nature film "White Wilderness" would be much more awesome if it showed a bunch of rodents flinging themselves off cliffs. They were correct, of course, but that doesn't make this "phenomenon" any less B.S.

6. Water Flushes Differently in Different Hemispheres   
Toilet water doesn't flush a specific direction depending on what hemisphere you're in. Water flushes the same way, unless you're in the middle of certain huge hurricanes, or if you crank it really hard with a dingy oar.

7.Humans evolved from Apes
Neither Charles Darwin nor any reputable evolutionist ever said that humans evolved from chimpanzees or gorillas or any other ape alive today (and certainly not those angry monkeys with those blue asses). They simply claim that monkeys and humans both evolved from a common ancestor that died out millions of years ago. You know, some sort of primitive monkey-caveman creature that had some smart babies that eventually became human, and some dumb-ass babies that eventually became apes.

8.Vikings Had Horns
This one hurts me 'specially. Actually, the title should read "Vikings Wore Helmets With Horns," unless you think Vikings' skulls actually had horns protruding from them, which I wish to sweet Odin was the case. But in any event, no, even Viking headwear didn't sport horns - not a single Viking helmet has ever been found with anything jutting out of it. Besides awesomeness, of course.

9.Columbus believed the Earth was flat
People have suspected that the Earth might be round since as early as Eratosthenes in 240 B.C. - it was mostly just a bunch of dogmatic nut-jobs who continued to insist that the Earth was a birdbath you could fall off of if you sailed too close to the edge. So by the time Columbus rolled around in 1492, pretty much everybody knew they were dealing with a sphere, Chris included. He did get a little confused about the size of the sphere, though, which is why he thought the Caribbean was India, leading to the whole dot vs. feather issue today.

10.Different parts of the tongue detect different tastes.
What, your elementary school health class lied to you? Turns out, taste buds on all parts of your tongue can detect all different tastes, though there are increased sensitivities in different areas for most people. Want proof? Try dipping the tip of your tongue into some coffee grounds and see if you can taste the bitter.
