Theyruled the Earth for about 175 million years until an extinction event 65.5million years ago which wiped out all of them, expect for the avian dinosaurs. Dinousaurs and human beings never met.Because Dinousaurs wiped outfrom earth millions of years ago. But how is itpossible? There is no need to talk about Hindu Mythology. Just look at the carvings ofAngkor Wat Temple. Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia was built bySuriyavarman II. How did they knowabout Dinousaurs? May be our ancestors lived with them?

The bartender just shakes his head indisapproval while wiping the bar. The second guy says, "What, are you nuts?There's no way that could happen. "No, its true," the first mansays. "Let me prove it to you." He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony, andplummets toward the street below. As he nears the 10th floor, the high winds whip him around the buildingand back into the 10th floor window and he takes the elevator back up to thebar. He meets the second man, who looks quite astonished."You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must havebeen a one time fluke." "No, I'll prove it again," says the first manas he jumpsagain. Just as he is hurtling toward the street, the 10th floor wind gentlycarries him around the building and into the window. Once upstairs he urges his fellow drinker to try it. "Well, why not." the second guy says, "Itworks. I'll tryit." He jumps over the balcony, plunges downward passes the 11th, 10th9th, 8th, floors. . . .. and hits the sidewalk with a SPLAT.

Q4 Why did theystop printing the text "Objects in the mirror are closer than theyappear" on the mirror of cars nowadays? A4 PradeepTanavade, Degree in Automobile Engg in Cars and Automobiles & Weight Loss,Guardian Angel Higher Secondary School (Graduated 2004)11mo The text "Objects in the mirror are closer thanthey appear" used to be printed on passenger-side mirrors of vehicles towarn drivers that the objects they see in the mirror may be closer thanthey appear. This warningis necessary because the mirror's convex shape allows for a wider field ofview, but can also make objects appear smaller and farther away thanthey actually are. However, in recentyears, advancements in mirror technology have led to the development ofaspheric mirrors,which have a more complex shape that minimizes distortion and provides a more accurate representation of distance. As a result, thewarning text is no longer required on these types of mirrors. Additionally, some automakers have chosen to incorporate the warningtext into the mirror's design or relocate it to a different location on thevehicle, such as the dashboard or sun visor. However, it ultimatelydepends on the specific manufacturer and model of the car as to whether or notthe warning text is present. Q5 What'sthe best mistake you've ever made? A5 AbhinayGupta, I look on the other side of the menu before ordering food. Updated 6y Accidentally transferred Rs. 15000 to a wrong bankaccount number. I am not a greatphilanthropist. I am a millennial trying to fulfil my daily needs working a typical 9–6routine. One of my friendscalled up and asked me for a financial help. He was in a situation. Now since Iwas bounded with bro-code, I immediately made the transfer, but unfortunatelyto a wrong account. I anxiouslycontacted the branch manager and got the name of the person. He was a 19-year old boy andluckily his residence was almost 10 KM from my office. I rushed to the place to meet the guy. I entered the house with the intent to get my moneyback and came off with a beaming feeling. The guy was struggling to pay his college fees and had alreadymissed three deadlines. Apparently, the college was in process toterminate his admission. The guy was working all night to meet his dailyexpenses. Needless to say,the moment he received the credit message, he paid his fees first. I looked at his collegereceipt and took a deep breath. Smiled at him and left the house. Later Ireceived this message - “Thank youbhaiya…main ye paise jaldi apko wapas kar dunga” (Thanks, bro. Iwill return you the money as soon as I can.) I still carry that satisfaction of improving a needyperson’s life. Although now I check the account number 100 timesbefore making any transfer! Brijesh Vaghela (બ્રિજેશ વાઘેલા)Thanks for the corrections! :) User-13460358427935670101 Thanks for the editsuggestions. :) Edit : Lot of people are asking this question :Did hereturned your money back? Well the answer is Yes. He gave it back to me after 2months. Heinformed me that he cleared his first year of graduation and was preparing forthe CAT. I took the money and asked my mom to gift him as a reward for his hardwork and dedication. After that, we had lunch together at my home. I made him spoke to one of myfriend who had cleared CAT to help him in preparing for the test. My note- A doubt arise in me how the barcode of the boycame to his mobile. Probably he would have sent to wrong number insteadof friend’s number. “barcode” may be used due to oversight I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
