Today I learned about something called a Limnic eruption. To describe it briefly, this extremely rare natural disaster occurs when massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are suddenly released from the deep, dark, depths of a lake.here are only two Limnic eruptions on record, both in Cameroon-The first one, in 1984, choking 37 people to death, and the second one, in 1986, disposing of a staggering 1800 people and various animals. A few weeks ago, I read and studied Albert Camus' novel, The Plague.
In many countries, engagement rings are placed on the ring finger of the left hand. At one time it was believed that this finger contained a vein (the vena amoris) that led to the heart. This idea was popularized by Henry Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts (1686).
More about which finger does one wear an engagement ring on: Historically the ring finger was believed to have a special, direct connection to the heart by way of the vena amoris, the vein of love.lso, people tend to be right handed so maybe wearing rings on the left has something to do with that. Regardless, in the U.S. the tradition is to wear the engagement ring as well as wedding rings on the left hand.
