Egyptians also mined turquoise in the Eastern Desert. Turquoise was one of the most popular gemstones in ancient Egypt, and its greenish tint was symbolic of joy and life.
driving under the influence (DUI) n. commonly called drunk driving, it refers to operating a motor vehicle while one's blood alcohol content is above the legal limit set by statute, which supposedly is the level at which a person cannot drive safely. State statutes vary as to what that level is, but it ranges from .08 to .10. Driving on private property such as a parking lot is no defense, but sitting in a non-moving vehicle without the ignition on probably is (sometimes resulting in a charge of drunk in and about a vehicle).
The chief difference lies in what the letters mean. DUI designates driving under the influence, while DWI refers to driving while intoxicated. While they may sound identical on the surface, some states actually classify them as separate crimes. If you live in a jurisdiction that classifies them separately, DUI is the lesser charge.
