Please post your results immediately! We don't want alfa to suffer from a stroke or PTSD thinking that he's the only one with a dumb right foot! |
I am going into further different variations of this test. I shall report the results to Catwoman, only.

So much commotion over nothing. Roswitha is always providing interesting articles that can be of use to all of us; obviously a very selfless act. She deserves credit for it.

Quoting alameda:
You are exactly right...and I agree with you too..but a link would be nice as well 
...something to let us know who wrote it. |
Even though I many not necesssarily always agree with your responses Alameda, I certainly find them interesting, especially the LINKs. They are very helpful, at least for me, so do keep adding them.

Thank you Waseem....I'm glad to read you appreciate them. I do try to find interesting and relevant links....seeing as sometimes the topics are complicated and really deserve more complex issues than are possible to cover in our short posts here.

When you want to find the link you can use google.
For example I randomly picked some part from the first post, it effectively located the link later given.
"Turks and Mongols were neighbors"
The other link found is also interesting it talks about how Turks were converted to Islam (unwilingly).

Turks used the adjective tengri which means "heavenly, divine", to label everything that seemed grandiose, such as a tree or a mountain, and they stooped to such entities.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengri#Turkic_version
...in the heartland of the Hittite kingdom, within a day's journey of the capital.) Her name in Hattic was Wurusemu, but the Hittites worshiped her under the epithet Arinnitti. She is always called a sun goddess, and sun disks appear as emblems in her cult, but there are indications that she may originally have had chthonic, or underworld, characteristics.
Traditional Natchez religion venerated the Sun, which was represented by a perpetual fire kept burning in a temple. All fires in a village, including the sacred fire, were allowed to die once a year on the eve of the midsummer Green Corn ceremony, or Busk. The sacred fire was remade at dawn of the festival day, and all the village hearths were then lit anew from the sacred flames.
Aztec religion centred around the fierce sun god Huitzilopochtli. After battling his way across the sky each day, he returned to the bosom of the earth, his mother (Coatlicue), where he renewed his strength in order to take up the fight against darkness. In order to guarantee human existence, the Aztecs, as “people of the sun,†had to nourish Huitzilopochtli with human blood.
