Lets have fun..

Alright the devil is currently given the time off..hehehe. Lets pray that the devil inside us doesn't rise the become to the resident evil during the holy month of Ramadhan.

Anyway I am here not to preach although I have a couple of time wanted to strangle a few couple and person for their lack of respect both to the religion that they suppose to uphold and themselves.

Since I'm currently on the impression that I lack motivation and the desire to write usefull stuff..and had been searching for topics to cover. Although I must say the Auditor's General Report was an interesting subject ..even though it was actually an ancient problem..one that has rooted from the early days of politiking. Just proves how stupid some people can be.

Back to the topic..let have fun...my form of entertainment at the moment is guessing where words came from. Okay it's a dreadfully boring hobby and more suited to linguistic major person not one with background in understanding science and biolog but its fun..

1. Did you know that the word 'OK' is not from England..it came from their once upon a time colony, the 'United States of America' which now become almost common in modern day language around the world.

2. The word like 'alcohol' 'elixir' 'admiral' 'alchemist', 'algebra', 'algorithm', 'almanac' and 'alkali' came from Arabic words. Notice the 'Al' infront of the words. Arabic words commonly begins with 'al' or 'l'.It just prove that many Islamic scholar researches in the subject of Chemistry and mathematics had served as fundamental background in the subjects before it were developed by the European.

3.The word 'boss' is actually Dutch

4.America is the name of an Italian map maker.

5.'Ghetto'..is was actually the name of a Jewish settlement in Venice back in the 15th century. It must have gotten really bad since all ill looking community these days are refered as 'ghetto'

6. 'Malaria' came for the italian word 'mal'(bad) and 'aria' (air) because initally people thought the disease is cause by stale air.

7. 'Dengue' is Swahili..

8. The place name 'Wimbledon' happens to be the property of a wealthy Englishman which the people refers to as 'Wynnmann's hill'
