I had to search the net for 'chiropractic' and this is what I got to know:-

chiropractic [Gr.,=doing by hand], medical practice based on the theory that all disease results from a disruption of the functions of the nerves. The principal source of interference is thought to be displacement (or subluxation) of vertebrae of the spine, although other areas such as joints and muscle tissue may also be the sites of nerve interference. The method of treatment is by adjustment of displaced vertebrae. The chiropractor seeks to relieve the pressure on the nerves and thereby remove the cause of some specific ailment. Massage and manipulation by hand, exercise, and the application of heat, cold, and light are some of the healing techniques used. The early chiropractors believed that psychic energy, a force beyond human understanding, flowed from the brain, through the nerves, to all parts of the body and that it was interference with this force that caused disease. In 1953 the theory was revised to state that the health of body tissues is controlled by nerve impulses, and that interference in the nerve impulses causes disease. Chiropractic was introduced in the United States by D. D. Palmer in 1895 and carried on by his son, Bartlett Joshua Palmer. There are institutions for training students in the profession of chiropractic, which has legal recognition in the United States and in many other parts of the world.

I agree with your views, ryos. Speed reading is an important tool.

You needn't wait for long. You have found the area of one third of the bigger equilateral triangle. You had forgot to multiply the result by 3 to give the final answer smile

The first part?

You have calculated the area of one triangle. Read the question again.

Please check your solution again!

#43361 Re: Jokes » Clean Jokes » 2005-12-06 20:02:10

Well, you fell into the trap!
The question was first started with 1=5, therefore 5=1. big_smile
When a simple solution exists, why we do we try to go for complex solutions?
This was an SMS sent to a friend of mine.
