History of Rummy Card

Maybe all this time we never cared, but the cards that we know is the type of card from the UK. As JACK (J), Queen (Q), KING (K) and ACE (A). This type of card from the UK in one setnya totaling 52 pieces, plus the JOKER. Ok, let's to the point.

There are some phenomenon that we often play cards:

  The numbers are 52, why 52? Number of the week in a year is 52, and each card represents one week.

  52 (5 +2) = 7 = 7 days a week.

  Because of the UK that in fact four seasons so the card has 4 types:


¤ ♠ Spade represents winter.
Heart ♥ ¤ represents autumn
¤ Diamond ♦ represents spring
Club ♣ ¤ represent summer

  In one type there are 13 cards (from As s / d King) 13 is the number of weeks in a season.

  13 (1 +3) = 4 = number of seasons in a year = 4 corners of the same item angin.Warna red, symbolizing the Day and Night.

  If the number of cards in one type you jumlahin all (As = 1, Jack = 11, Queen = 12 and King = 13), the total number is 364! Equal to the number of days in a year, plus 1 Joker, to 365 days.

If the number of letters of the names of a single deck of cards you count, both in English, Dutch, German or French, then the number is 52! Just as the number of weeks in 1 year .. !!

  * English:
Ace, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Jack, Queen, King.

  * Dutch:
Aas, twee, drie, vier, Vijf, zes, seven, Acht, negen, tien, Boer, vrouw, Heer.

Club - Aglikultur.

Each card Raja (KING) of any kind, represent to some of Great King from history, here:

Who are they?
Those were the days of Middle Age Hero at first ...

In addition there are more mysteries about the cards that can not be answered until now, for example:

  * King Hearts the only King without a mustache.
  * King liver also directed towards his own sword, therefore King Hearts always called "The Suicide King".
  * King Diamond plasticity only one side of the face, which no other king-king like that.
  * Queen Spade look to the right, where the Queen-Queen others look to the left.

History of Tom & Jerry

The story of the Tom and Jerry
Having before-before I fill this blog with things that are heavy (but guns obviously) and literary works that are still amateurs, now I will try to be filled with a minute intermezzo ...

"The Cat and the Mouse"
This classic cartoon, flavor-it's already been heard by most readers. Because of the time I was in elementary school (gak, like old already wrote), this cartoon was broadcast on domestic television stations. That was 10 years ago I think. And until now, the name of this cartoon still prevail - even on Cartoon Network itself still-rampant emerging plays.
Ever watch this cartoon? The film is about a big fluffy blue cat named Tom - full Thomas - who often clashed with a small brown mouse named Jerry. They both fight scenes peppered always hilarious, though sometimes too violent, which usually ended in the defeat of Tom Jerry. Yes, this is a fable, like other cartoons were raised animals as the main character.
Well, if mas Fortynine have perceptions about the conspiracy behind the story of Tom and Jerry, then I also have their own perceptions about the story behind the story of the cartoon.

Since I am not one to focus on the conflict of religion X and Y as well as internal issues specific religion, so maybe I'll put the guns of religion in this entry. Since I am more interested in than the study of history, then I will discuss the historical - simply.
You see, the story of Tom and Jerry is a bit much, in my opinion, based on the story of World War II.
First let's see the first character of Tom, the big cats often do stupid. Tom was like the United States. A large tangible figure, great physical strength, and a quick look behind a dangerous power savings. But it turned out just the opposite, the cat, this one did not give the threat of what was described by physical form. It can be seen actions that tend stupid, it led to the defeat itself.
Similarities with the United States when World War II are: the United States is equally large (regional), great physical strength (population many, many soldiers), and with those two things, it looks like a dangerous latent powers. But in fact, the United States can not do much without the support of his friends. And believe me, if he removed himself as a military force, maybe he can not do much - at that time a well-known strength of his army were German, British Navy was, while The air force I do not know.
Back to Thomas, the blue cat also can not stand alone. She has extensive connections, have cat friends more and generally more useful than himself. Usually cats thugs who often hang out in the trash to find food. Well, we can also see parallels with the United States here. The United States had the British, French, and other comrades.
In addition, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the name Tom is usually used as the names of domestic cats in the United States. Be her, an image that Tom is the United States. If you want to insist, the blue fur color is also similar to the flag of the United States of the blue.
Now let's look at the Jerry. Rats are full of finesse though brown dwarfs bodied and physically no match for Tom. There are always big cat wits to trick it and make it subject to the mice. Well, since Jerry is a great enemy Tom, who is the great enemy of the United States during World War II? None other is not, is that the Germans under the command of the Nazi party.
Jerry equation with the Germans when it seems pretty obvious. Germany has a fairly small area of ​​the state (excluding its colonies), limited physical strength, and it does not seem like a big threat. But Germany has smart people and technology has advanced, so they can create a weapon of war that could rival U.S. technology - even the German tanks named Tiger II was ranked the big 3 strongest tank of all time, is just below the M1 Abrams, American tank States with the modern technology.
In addition, Jerry also had extensive connections, even across the ocean - had described he had distant relatives from other countries. It would also similar to Germany, which in the development of World War II had touched other countries and put them under the banner of Nazi Germany. As for the name of Jerry himself, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a term for the Germans during World War II.
So with this I conclude that the movie could be motivated by World War II. Where Tom the cat the United States, which has great power, but the original is not as smart as it looks (need backup), while Jerry as the mouse Nazi Germany, a small but quite cunning and full of tricks that can defeat enemies bigger than himself.
