Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article. http://8943751.cryptostarthome.com
That is considered very good.
People in old days used the “bite test” to see if a coin (They got paid in) was pure 24-karat gold, as opposed to a less valuable alloy.
The less pure the gold, the harder it will be; or not
@AFA: In their pure forms, gold and silver happen to be very soft metals—soft enough that you should be able to mark them with your teeth.

The less pure the gold, the harder it will be; or not. The Common Wealth / Olympic gold medal isn’t pure gold, so the act is sort of symbolic. It is composed of just a few grams gold which is plated on a core of mostly silver.
You’ll notice that practically all of the gold medal winners (Be it the commonwealth games or the Olympics) bite on the medal.
Does any one know what the true story is on Dr. Shah is cheap stunt in the opening ceremony. From the news it seems he has lost whatever respect he may have earned from his work on the local sports..
