    The double is a nice catch!

    What do double-entry bookkeeping, double helix DNA study, double knotted biscuit called pretzel and double kick art in/called kung fu have in common? (apart from being double)

    One physical, one spiritual!



    One gives up, one does not give up and as instructed spends 3 hours in LIBRARY and has the answer.

    ANSWER TO DOUBLE CHECK PUZZLE

    Popular origin stories:


    • Italian monk invents pretzels as a reward to children who learn their prayers
    • The origin of martial arts, the origin of kung fu surround the vague mysteries of the Shaolin Temple and the Shaolin monks.
    • Gregor Johann Mendel , the German-speaking Augustinian friar, is the founding father of modern genetics
    • Luca Pacioli, a Franciscan friar, often called the "father of accounting" because he was the first to publish a detailed description of the double-entry system


    What is common in Italian monk, Shaolin monk, Augustinian friar, Franciscan friar?
    They are all monks! Double innuendo on the double things.
