Red Crescent???

Why it is named "red crescent" when it is clearly a "red decrescent"!!????

Note: You look at the moon.
When she is in C shape, she is Crescent.
When she is in D shape, she is Decrescent.

But remember, Moon is a lady, so she will never tell you directly how she feels. So you have to understand women:
- C shape means Decrescent.
- D shape means Crescent.

(lolz)

Note2: Always talking about north hemisphere

An explanation to you, EU.

The Red Crescent symbol came from the symbol that is being implemented by the IFRC (International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent) and ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent). As long as your country is a signatory of the Geneva convention, and the Hague Law, you are to use the symbol. The single icon is used so that people won't have any confusion whether it be "Crescent" or "Decrescent". Let me ask you...when you see a Red Crescent...what comes first into your mind? Do you usually say "Oh...it's a decrescent!"???

It's called Red Crescent because it was mandated by the IFRC and ICRC. Period.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

Neither did I, marhabtain. I invaded Qatar in 1995.

So what about the Red Crescent? I think it's the other way around, because they also write the other way around (from right to left).?

Concerning the agreement on the direction of electrical current; I sent mjamille an explanation. Maybe she'll tell you?

Good morning eu. There is a "German" writing (not used anymore, only in Grandmother's letters) where the z is round.

By eu61• 4 Oct 2008 07:09
eu61

MD, an agreement IMHO based on nothing.

Now, spit out your explanations. You are anxious to do it...

New moon has Z shape (lolz)..?

I know mooon in german is masculine, and sun is femenine... That means the lier in german is the masculine one...

chocolate,

C looks like crescent.

D looks like decrescent.

But remember moon is a lady, she never tells you directly the truth.

This is the real crescent moon. You can check it out any night in the sky.

This is the red crescent (equivalent to red cross) symbol:

Lets try to highlight the differences...

I'm going to have a whole new meaning to slicing sausages. LOL

...I mean sausage-preventing saws.

if you want to cook it you don't need to freeze it. Only if you want to saw it.

It only slices wood, wood, and wood.

Hey, heero, do you live alone? I have many occasions when my kids or my wife need something to be sawed. I still have all my eleven fingers, though.

By heero_yuy2• 3 Oct 2008 23:46

I know I liked the patented innovation for the saw...but I just don't know when, in my lifetime, will I probably use it.

the day i ask my kids why the moon is shaped like a C will be the day they put me in an institution lol.

btw.. check out this awesome saw i found

Thought of the same thing greentea. I guess he got inspired by heero.

eU61, earlier u said c shaped is crescent and d is decrescent, now you've reversed it?

As for explaining to ur children , it's like this, the word 'ambulance' is written in mirror image on the front so that the vehicle in front reads it as ambulance in the rearview mirror, same for crescent/decresent.

By anonymous• 3 Oct 2008 23:29
anonymous

By the way, eu, we don't have this problem in the German language. The full moon looks like an 'a', hence it will decrease which means 'a'bnehmen (decrease). The new moon looks like a 'z', which means it will 'z'unehmen (add).

By anonymous• 3 Oct 2008 23:26

an "agreement", eu, based on what?

By anonymous• 3 Oct 2008 23:25

Cheers, corleone.

By eu61• 3 Oct 2008 23:25
eu61

MD,

current flow direction is just an agreement, it doesnt matter.

But sign "on the ambulances" is not following the agreement neither reality.

Crescent moon - when moon goes from very little to full moon - in north hemisphere = D shape.

Decrescent moon - when moon goes from full to very little and finally disspear - in north hemisphere = C shape.

If you ask your children: "How is today the moon: crescent or decrescent?" - Remember to explain them that meaning is opposite to that they can see in the ambulances...

corleone, compliment on your logic!

More cheese = more cheese around more holes

More cheese = more cheese.

okay i read that. and this is what came to mind immediately.

Cheese has holes in it.

More cheese = More holes.

More holes = Less cheese.

So,

More cheese = Less cheese.
