FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS CLEARED THIS UP FOR ME....

For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with marriage or religion, but the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. has recently revealed the true story.

When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop or a motel in the United States.

If nothing is there, he must take a job in India answering telephones giving technical advice.

Finally after years of wondering why Aussies drink so many cheap cans of lager scientists have found out why, the bar codes found on many cheap modern day beer cans bare almost identical resemblance to the bar codes tattooed onto criminals and prisoners, which gives an Aussie a feeling of national identity, history and pride.

Strange but true!
