Origine de la barre du chiffre sept!

Encore aujourd'hui, de nombreuses personnes, en écrivant le chiffre 7 utilisent une barre supplémentaire horizontale au milieu du chiffre.
La plupart des typographies l'ont fait disparaître aujourd'hui.
Mais savez-vous pourquoi cette barre a survécu jusqu'à nos jours ?

Il faut remonter bien loin, aux temps bibliques :

Lorsque Moïse eut gravi le mont Sinaï, et que les 10 commandements lui furent dictés,
il redescendit vers son peuple et leur lut, à haute et forte voix, chaque commandement.


Arrivé au septième commandement, il annonça :

« Tu ne commettras point d'adultère. Tu ne désireras pas la femme de ton prochain »
Et là... de nombreuses voix s'élevèrent parmi le peuple lui criant :
"Barre le sept, barre le sept, barre le sept !!!"

Et voilà… l'origine de la barre du sept !

***

My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No." She answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
Yes." She replied.
Then I said, " I'd like to phone a friend."

That's the last thing I remember.

And finally:

GUTS or BALLS

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them?

In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below.

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say: "You're next."

I hope this clears up any confusion on the subject.

Have a great weekend!
