Did you Know that:
- That if you have a coin or a note that you think is damaged or for whatever reason or reasons you are not happy with the coin or note you can go to the front counter of the Reserve Bank of Australia in Martin Place and ask for its replacement with new coin or note. That is your legal right.
- That the first Book of Enoch is revered as Scripture in the Ethiopian church and the text only in Ethiopic language and that Enoch is the seventh descendant of Adam.
- That Switzerland has the only flag that resembles the vestement of the Knight Templers. Is there a connection that could be considered not far fetched?
- That for whatever reason you find yourself stranded in the middle of the sea in Thailand, do not make the mistake of telling your rescuer that you will pay them by Australian dollar. The chances are they will leave you in the middle of the sea. Simply say AMERICAN DOLLAR. Yes American - despite the fact its value is lower than the Aussie dollar. A doctor friend of mine had that very experience. His jetski failed in the middle of the sea some 20 kilometers from the closes land. He took his pants off and waived it to a passing ferry. 'One thousand Australian dollars if you come and take me to your ferry' he said. The reply: 'No we only take American dollars'. 'Yes for heaven sake American bloody dollars make two thousand' said my doctor friend. 'OK you have cash we don't accept credit cards' came back the voice from the ferry. 'Cash, Cash Cash' said my doctor friend. The ferry that was conveying passengers between islands turned around and picked him up. After feeling secured he asked whether there were any passengers that were feeling unwell on the ferry. There were non. He had no options but to pay the two thousand dollars. When the manager of the jetski hire asked him to pay for the lost jetski he told him where to go and took the next available flight back to Sydney.
- The the famous Roselyn Chapel was built by the Knight Templers and despite the fact that it is a chapel, it had never seen any official mass service, christian or otherwise. If you want to know why you may care to urge me in you own individaul way to tell you what I think is the reason.
- That the Church of the Holy Seplucher was destroyed by the sixth Fatimid (Hakim fi amr Allah) and that was the primary reason for the first Crusade.
- That the Islamic calender is luner and it is eleven days less than the Justinian calender in use so roughly every 33 years there Ramadan repeats itself, ie starts on the same date.
