Today in the Word , March 13, 1993. In 1887 the coffin of Abraham Lincoln was pried open to determine if it contained his body. What makes that act so remarkable is the fact that Lincoln's body had rested in that coffin for 22 years. Yet, even more amazing is that 14 years later a rumor circulated again that Lincoln's coffin was actually empty. This was done and the rumor silenced when a handful of witnesses viewed the lifeless body of Abraham Lincoln.
Talk is cheap because the supply always exceeds the demand.
One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say. Because a woman's vocal cords are shorter than a man's she can actually speak with less effort than he can. Shorter vocal cords not only cause a woman's voice to be more highly pitched, but also require less air to become agitated, making it possible for her to talk more with less energy expended.
