I've simply got to give you another history lesson - can't help it!;)
Did you ever wonder why the wedding ring goes on the ring finger?
There are two "theories": ancient Romans thought there was a vein in the ring finger, which they called "vena amoris".
The second "theory" is - in the early Middle Ages (also in the early Christian weddings) there was the ritual that the priest touched the thumb with the ring whilst saying "in nomine patris", then the index finger whilst saying "et filii", then the middle finger whist saying "et spiritus sancti" and then whilst ending the prayer with "Amen", the priest would put the ring on the 4th finger - the ring finger.
The more you know;)

One of my favourite jokes to tell (probably because it's quite easy to remember?)!
Just to give everyone a short history lesson - it's called "dark ages", because there aren't many written sources from that period of time and "that period of time" is actually between ancient Greeks/ Romans and the (early) Middle Ages. This time just isn't well documented (until the invention of printing by Gutenberg ~1450)."Dark Ages" was a term commonly used during the 19th century, when archaeology wasn't as well understood as it is today.The more you know;)
Hope you didn't mind a short lesson:)

The website to which the picture "fits" is called zimbio.com, but for some reason I'm not able to open that page, so I did the test on that website:

According to the test I'm Sheldon and Lisa Simpson. I didn't do the other tests since I don't know these series too well.

It's sort of funny for me to read this. I'm from Northern Italy and visited relatives of mine in Austria today. It took me only like 3 hours to get there. I could even come home the same day! :D

@ricepudding Nice to "meet" you!!!:)
Although singing is the one and only possibility for me, I still love "coming back" to my violin almost every day:) Somehow it seems like my violin is "my other half" XD.
