Cats domesticate the ancient Egyptians. Although no one can pinpoint the time exactly, we know that the cat was domesticated in Egypt, probably around 2000 B.C., and that most modern cats are descendants of the cats of ancient Egypt. One reason it is difficult to say precisely when domestication occurred is that the ancient Egyptians did not distinguish between wild and tame cats in their descriptions of them. There was one word for cat-and that was miu or mii, meaning âhe or she who mews.â
A narrow (bridge) size playing card is 2.25 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall. So the total difference between the narrow (bridge) size and wide (poker) size playing cards is .25 inches in width only. This equates to about 10 percent of the total card width. This does not sound like much, but to some people it is very important.
A playing card is a piece of specially prepared heavy paper, thin cardboard, plastic-coated paper, cotton-paper blend, or thin plastic, marked with distinguishing motifs and used as one of a set for playing card games. Playing cards are typically palm-sized for convenient handling. A complete set of cards is called a pack (UK English), deck (US English), or set (Universal), and the subset of cards held at one time by a player during a game is commonly called a hand.
