hahaha... i just read this thread now... the solution is actually very simple.

if the husband tells the truth, then he will tell his wife that he is a truth teller.

if the husband tells lies, then he will lie about that fact and tell his wife that he is a truth teller.

so either way (whether the husband tells the truth or lies) he will have told his wife that he is a truth teller.

hence the wife is lying.

clocked it!! 8)

try changing the language to catalan, then type in vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh.

u are absolutely right... it is just u!!

Also im not a scientist so some quantum physics dude will probably prove me wrong, but the planets also do their parkarma of the sun in an anticlockwise motion, as the moon does to the earth, as an electron to the nucleous (i think ????).

it all depends which direction you're looking from... from the direction of the sun's north pole it looks like the planets orbit in an anticlockwise direction, from the sun's south pole it's clockwise. but since there's no up & down in space, u can't say it's either clockwise or anticlockwise.

i can't really see the khalistani movement having much of a leg to stand on if a sikh becomes prime minister of india (unless he's really crap & anti-sikh).

but then the question arises, is having a sikh prime minister of all of india better than having a separate state khalistan? what d'yall think?

hunk:

1. Informal. A large piece; a chunk: a hunk of fresh bread.

2. Slang. A sexually attractive man with a well-developed physique.

i like ur thinkin sikh fauge! :wink: xxx

what are the names of the books?

"the nation's tortured body" by brian keith axel. just got it, haven't read it yet.

synopsis:

In "The Nation's Tortured Body" Brian Keith Axel explores the formation of the Sikh diaspora and, in so doing, offers a powerful inquiry into conditions of peoplehood, colonialism and postcoloniality. Demonstrating a new direction for historical anthropology, he focuses on the position of violence between 1849 and 1998 in the emergence of a transnational fight for Khalistan (an independent Sikh state). Axel argues that, rather than the homeland creating the diaspora, it has been the diaspora, or histories of displacement, that have created particular kinds of places - homelands. Based on ethnographies and archival research conducted by Axel at several sites in India, England and the United States, the text delineates a theoretical trajectory for thinking about the proliferation of diaspora studies and area studies in America and England. After discussing this trajectory in relation to the colonial and postcolonial movement of Sikhs, Axel analyzes the production and circulation of images of Sikhs around the world, beginning with visual representations of Maharaja Duleep Singh, the last ruler of Punjab, who died in 1893. He argues that imagery of particular male Sikh bodies has situated - at different times and in different ways - points of mediation between various populations of Sikhs around the world. Most crucially, he describes the torture of Sikhs by Indian police between 1983 and the present and discusses the images of tortured Sikh bodies that have been circulating on the Internet since 1996. Finally, he returns to questions of the homeland, reflecting on what the issues discussed in "The Nation's Tortured Body" might mean for the ongoing fight for Khalistan. Specialists in anthropology, history, cultural studies, disapora studies and Sikh studies should find much of interest in this work.

singhs were advised to keep their weight under 100kgs (roughly 15-and-a-half stone). that was because the horse had to carry them (& plus equipment on top of that).

if your weight is fluctuating, try to work more circuit training into your regime. even better, take up sanjam kriya.

Also, if all 3 are aware and consenting, is it really something "wrong" if you make love to your wife while fondling your mistress at the same time.

good point.... hmmm... now all i need is a consenting wife & mistress!! :wink: :wink:

Besides which, he starts off the book by saying that he wants to set right the insults and offence levelled at Sikhism by some German swine who made derogatory comments about SGGS.

i believe he's referring to ernst trump.

an excellent book i'd heartily recommend to everyone is 'garland around my neck' by patwant singh & harinder kaur sekhon.

it's the story of puran singh pingalware & is incredibly inspirational.

u can get it from dtf - http://www.dtfbooks.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=45

yeah well if ppl are attatched to it, then they dnt need it. Realising that something is not needed means that they dnt wear it.

if someone gets attatched to their dastar, should they remove it?

can gurbani answer for me what this weeks lottery numbers are going to be?

babbarsher, first u said time travel's not possible, then gave two links showing that it might be possible. :?

anyhow, there's a funny story on the second link that gives pause for thought:

There is also the paradox of the man who is his own mother. (My apologies to science fiction writer Robert Heinlein.) “Jane†is left at an orphanage as a foundling. When “Jane†is a teenager, she falls in love with a drifter, who abandons her but leaves her pregnant. Then disaster strikes. She almost dies giving birth to a baby girl, who is then mysteriously kidnapped. The doctors find that Jane is bleeding badly, but, oddly enough, has both sex organs. So, to save her life, the doctors convert “Jane†to “Jim.â€

“Jim†subsequently becomes a roaring drunk, until he meets a friendly bartender (actually a time traveler in disguise) who wisks “Jim†way back into the past. “Jim†meets a beautiful teenage girl, then accidentally gets her pregnant with a baby girl. Out of guilt, he kidnaps the baby girl and drops her off at the orphanage. Later, “Jim†joins the time travelers corps, leads a distinguished life, and has one last dream: to disguise himself as a bartender to meet a certain drunk named “Jim†in the past. So, who is “Jane’s†mother, father, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, and grandchild?

not too dissimilar to what happened with lister in red dwarf!

i still can't find the comments made! :? ... but i think i figured out why... i've been listening to today's show!!

sikh_fauge when in the show were the comments made? (it is 3 hours long!)

what is the actual meaning and etymology of the word puja?

looking it up in a panjabi dictionary i get:

worship, adoration, veneration, respect, devotion.

but there is a big difference between worship & respect. can puja mean both of these things?

If you know anyone who fits the descritption above, they are not really Sikhs, they may even look like Sikhs but inside they are just dirt ready to backstab The Khalsa Panth.

i'm sorry, i don't know anyone who fits all of those descriptions. but it seems like u do, otherwise u wouldn't be trying to expose them with so much enthusiasm. please could u tell us who they are so that we know who to stay away from.

many thanks.

The point of this posting is that if any group - whoever they are if they are openly promoting drug abuse then they are besharam, and are not really Sikhs.

who are u referring to?

very good post MI... brings to mind the motto of alcoholics anonymous:

"God Grant Me The Serenity

To Accept The Things I Cannot Change

Courage To Change The Things I Can

And The Wisdom To Know The Difference"

but i disagree on the time travel is not possible...

as arthur c clarke says in 'Profiles of the Future' (1962):

"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

in physics there are theoretical particles known as tachyons that travel faster than light & so go back through time. unfortunately, as they interact very very weakly with normal matter, they are next to impossible to detect.

also, the theoretical wormholes that sci-fi has popularised so much can connect different positions in spacetime & could possibly be used to time travel.

of course those two examples are just theory & there's no solid proof for time travel, but the point i wanted to make was that it's always dangerous to make the assumption that something is impossible, because more likely than not you'll be proved wrong! (almost everyone thought heavier than air flight was impossible at the end of the 19th century)

there's a difference between use & abuse.

eg. cough syrup can be used to alleviate the pains of a cough, or can be abused as an addictive intoxicant.
