Google to the rescue!! (And my parents renewed their vows when they became Greek Orthodox and wear their rings on their left hands...)
From: http://journeytoorthodoxy.blogspot.com/2010/12/why-wedding-rings-on-right-hand.html
Over the recent holidays I spent time with my Protestant siblings, two sisters and a brother. My brother noticed that I wore my wedding ring on my right hand and, much to the chagrin of one of my sisters, who is anti-Orthodox, asked why it was so. I gave my brother as brief an answer as possible, but have since found this good explanation for the biblical and cultural origins of the practice:
"It has always been the tradition of the Church to place the wedding ring on the right hand of the couple based on biblical references. This is seen very clearly in one of the prayers in the Betrothal Service. A portion of the prayer refers to the biblical references: “For You, O Lord, have declared that a pledge is to be given and held inviolate in all things. By a ring Joseph was given might in Egypt; by a ring Daniel was exalted in Babylon; by a ring our heavenly Father showed compassion upon His prodigal son, for He said, ‘Put a ring upon his right hand, kill the fatted calf, and let us eat and rejoice.’ Your own right hand, O Lord, armed Moses in the Red Sea. By word of Your truth were the Heavens established and the earth set upon her sure foundations; and the right hands of Your servants shall be blessed by Your mighty word, and by Your uplifted arm.” As we see, it was scripturally the practice to wear rings on the right hand, the hand of authority and power completing the pledge of commitment. The power and authority comes from the right hand of God.
The practice of wearing rings on the left hand is rooted in superstition that says that there is a vein that goes from the left hand directly to the heart. This medieval superstition, like many others, was brought to America from Western Europe no doubt. Unfortunately, too many people today just follow what the majority in society do without truly understanding its meaning. Hopefully, with education and faith we will maintain the richness and meaningfulness of the Orthodox faith."
Once again it is the Western practice that is the aberration, not unlike the question of beards on men. The aberration is to be clean shaven, as the Pagans. Western Protestantism is an aberration from the Church established by Christ and His Disciples. Protestants in the West continue to look through a glass darkly at the Church and are puzzled by what they see.

It's also a practice of English aristocracy for males to not wear wedding rings at all - see Prince Charles et al.
Whether i have a beard has more to do with laziness than any cultural or spiritual influence. It has not escaped my attention that almost every Indian man i have ever seen has a moustache: they can't all think it suits them!

What's a channel lock plier. Is it a type or a brand?
I take this to be a question based in curiosity, not a sense of need. You would only need channel locks, Aal_, if you were over here at my house helping me un-freeze the remaining ~160-170 posts. Lemme know your ETA, I'll make you a little samich

Thanks Koji. So in the US I have to shave my beard?
These have been very kind to frozen atty parts...no scratches.
Where did you find those? I need some.
Tamiya is the mfg. Do a seach for Tamiya non-scratch pliers.Where did you find those? I need some.
I think I got them along time ago from an RC website.
Wear my wedding ring on my left hand and have had a goatee for years. Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed!

I'm with Trunker on this. My beard has nothing to do with culture, or spirituality.....pure laziness.
BTW, riogrande.com is a great site to find specialty tools for coil building.
I usually find what I want on one site that is nicely organized then start seaching Amazon and ebay for best pricing.

There is one caveat with the non-scratch pliers...the silicon jaws aren't super grippy so I often take a piece of latex and wrap around the piece I'm unfreezing but it is nice to know that if you slip, you won't scratch your work.
