Dear Mr. George Noory of Coast to Coast On KGO 810 (810 kHz) AM Radio Out Of San Francisco, I Don't Wonder Why Stone Anymore. CC Your Other Show, Beyond Belief!!



Somebody should talk about the 'dark side of the Earth' as that would be funny!!  Why?  Because it is always day it just so happens we're in the shade?  Don't know, start talking!!

Did you know that the human voice saves more lives?  That all of this disconnection from our homes has caused people to just walk around in a sort of glaze.  Your eyes look as if you are not home or your minds are always on something else and the "I'll get back to you" has turned into "I'll text you", you sound as if you are writing biblical chapters, it sounds weird.

When men retire from prominent positions after being heard for a very long time and all of a sudden because that is what retirement delivers on it's dark side people say things, one of those phrases is or consists of wording that includes not wanting to hear it anymore.  These are sad days and retiring without knowing these little things is dangerous to your well-being as then people make judgements and text you in opinion of your life and not anything else, that is your five minutes and has lasting effect on the minds of whom is left without the bronze.  The subtlety of this results as personal experience has proven to be so personal that my most recent experience made death evident, as evident as the day that my little sister had said something else that it is felt as the impact of the last carriage of verse that has led to this verse in prose.

A common term of my life included the nursery rhyme or school yard bully saying "sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never hurt you" following something that they had said that made me look white as a ghost.  These processes of people are indicative of the product development of John Batchelor's Show on KGO 810 AM radio out of San Francisco at 10:00 PM, as he does a bit of interesting work on the repeating points of our history here in the United States of America.


A picture is worth a thousand words

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
1913 newspaper advertisement
"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an English language-idiom. It refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single picture, this picture conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a description does.

History

The expression "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words." appears in a 1911 newspaper article quoting newspaper editor Tess Flanders discussing journalism and publicity.[1]
A similar phrase, "One Look Is Worth A Thousand Words", appears in a 1913 newspaper advertisement for the Piqua Auto Supply House of Piqua, Ohio.[2]
An early use of the exact phrase appears in a 1918 newspaper advertisement for the San Antonio Light, which says:
One of the Nation's Greatest Editors Says:

One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
The San Antonio Light's Pictorial Magazine of the War
Exemplifies the truth of the above statement—judging from the warm

reception it has received at the hands of the Sunday Light readers.[3]
It is believed by some that the modern use of the phrase stems from an article by Fred R. Barnard in the advertising trade journal Printers' Ink, promoting the use of images in advertisements that appeared on the sides of streetcars.[4] The December 8, 1921, issue carries an ad entitled, "One Look is Worth A Thousand Words." Another ad by Barnard appears in the March 10, 1927, issue with the phrase "One Picture Worth Ten Thousand Words", where it is labeled a Chinese proverb. The 1949 Home Book of Proverbs, Maxims, and Familiar Phrases quotes Barnard as saying he called it "a Chinese proverb, so that people would take it seriously."[5] Nonetheless, the proverb soon after became popularly attributed to Confucius. The actual Chinese expression "Hearing something a hundred times isn't better than seeing it once" (百闻不如一见, p bǎi wén bù rú yī jiàn) is sometimes introduced as an equivalent, as Watts's "One showing is worth a hundred sayings".[6] This was published as early as 1966 discussing persuasion and selling in a book on engineering design.[7] In March 1911, in the Syracuse Advertising Men's Club, Arthur Brisbane wrote: "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words."[8]

Equivalents

Despite this modern origin of the popular phrase, the sentiment has been expressed by earlier writers. For example, the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev wrote (in Fathers and Sons in 1861), "The drawing shows me at one glance what might be spread over ten pages in a book."[9] The quote is sometimes attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, who said "A good sketch is better than a long speech" (French: Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours). While this is sometimes translated today as "A picture is worth a thousand words," this translation does not predate the phrase's common use in English.

Disagreement

The phrase has been spoofed by computer scientist John McCarthy, to make the opposite point: "As the Chinese say, 1001 words is worth more than a picture."[10]
