The Origin of Jewelry

May 1, 2009

Jewelry is typically made from gemstones (diamonds and rubies) or precious metals (gold and silver), but really it can be made of any kind of material at all such as ceramic beads and cloth, even bits of animal remains.

The oldest known pieces of jewelry are 100,000 year old beads made from shells. Other pieces of jewelry from ancient times were made from bone, animal teeth, wood, and carved stone. It can have several functions; it can be used to hold hair or a garment together (although buttons are NOT considered to be jewelry), it could be a simple body adornment, or it can be a way for people to store their wealth.

My Favorite Top 10 Movie Comedy Scenes

April 22, 2009

Now this is definitely a tough one. I really don’t even know why I am attempting this at all but I think it needs to be done. There have been so many amazingly, funny scenes and I think I would be remiss if I at least didn’t try to mention the ones that made me laugh the hardest during my lifetime. I would also like to add that just because I may love a scene in a movie, doesn’t preclude that I would put the movie itself in my Top 10 list of all time. So, I will just mention some of the many scenes that I have loved and then try to put them in my order of preference. Wish me luck!!

The Marx Brothers have had so many scenes that have cracked me up over the years and still do till this day. The famous stateroom scene from Monkey Business which took place on a ship was a visual delight. They were stowaways on the ship so they couldn’t let the people in charge know they were there. They had repairmen, maids, food service and everyone else you could think of in the room at the same time. By the end of the scene there had to be at least 20 or more people all squeezed into that tiny room and it was one of the classic scenes in any comedy movie. Then you had the contract scene in A Night At The Opera that was brilliantly written and delivered by Groucho and Chico. “You can’t fool me, there ain’t no sanity clause”. A Day At The Races had a few of my favorite Marx Brothers scenes in it. The race itself at the end, the examination of Margaret Dumont’s character by Doctor Hackenbush and the boys and the phone scene with Groucho driving Mr. Whitmore crazy by using misdirection.
