How the word "Testify" came to be. Hahah.

The ancient Israelites and Romans knew the significance of testicles. The words testify, testimony and testicle all come from the Latin testis, for testicles. When Roman men gave testimony, they held their testicles in their hand, for they regarded them as sacred. This custom is mentioned in the Old Testament. In the King James translation, the passage reads, "And Abraham said: 'unto his eldest servant of his house... Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: And I will make thee swear...'"

...no one cares. I kind of gathered this by myself with the simple knowlege that most words come from latin roots and TESTicle and TESTify are similiar.

You are such a worthless poster. Every time you post, it's negative and over-dramatic.
Just shut up

Dude, I actually read that passage and found it to be mighty strange without an explanation. There are other parts where they do that too. I was like 
Thanks for educating me today, I really had no idea about this custom.
That is fucking

Thank you 
But this time i was 100% serious. Anyone with a brain can figure this kind of shit out... maybe I'm just a genius I DK.
Words arn't as interesting as you think. Break them down and think about it for no more than 5 minutes and you can figure stuff like this out.

Call myself a genius in one sentence. Spell the word "aren't" wrong in the next.

FYI, having the time to sit around on your hands randomly considering the association between words with apparently unrelated definitions does not make you a "genius."

If you were Christian, and you'd read the Bible, swearing on the Bible would offend you.
