RE: Weird Facts u know - Ga' - Jan. 29, 2012 It is possible to become addicted to cheese because the milk casein is highly concentrated in cheese, and releases opiates. Cows also naturally add small amounts of morphine to each cup of milk produced because it helps calm the calf while it is feeding and helps to develop a bond between the mother and calf. tl;dr Cows drug their young and cheese contains addictive substances. RE: Weird Facts u know - Shabalabadoo - Jan. 29, 2012 Quote:All male pheromones are not equally attractive, and some of the myths stem from an understandable confusion over their names. The male pheromone androstenone is not the same as androstenol. Androstenol is the scent produced by fresh male sweat, and is attractive to females. Androstenone is produced by male sweat after exposure to oxygen—i.e. when less fresh—and is perceived as highly unpleasant by females.

Oh, then sorry for spamming this thread... XD Hmm, I will have to alert my friend who told me about it.... Thank you for telling me! Here are other weird facts to make up for my misleading other: 1. One of the shortest wars ever lasted was 38 minutes. 2. The earth spins so fast that someone standing at the equator is traveling at about 1000 mph. 3. An average Major League baseball is only used for 6 pitches. 4. In Italy, you can buy fresh pizza from a vending machine. 5. (To match my other cat-themed fact): A 15 year old cat has probably spent 10 years sleeping.

(I believe 17 is correct, I know it was over 12 but less than a day) RE: Weird Facts u know - Kai-V - Jan. 30, 2012 (Jan. 29, 2012 6:47 PM)5p1r1t Wrote: napoleon wasn't short His autopsy showed that he was five feet two inches. For a lot of people, that is short. Considering that he was also in a world of battles, the men fighting there would have probably been taller than him as well, which increases his shortness to all.

Most of those facts are horribly untrue, and science with observable evidence, as Hazel and Kai-V have posted, has actually shown that said facts are true. Where's the proof for all of these claims? RE: Weird Facts u know - Hazel - Jan. 30, 2012 The wikipedia article for Bonaparte actually mentions his height: Quote:The British Tory press sometimes depicted Napoleon as much smaller than average height, and this image persists. Confusion about his height also results from the difference between the French pouce and British inch—2.71 and 2.54 cm respectively; he was about 1.7 metres (5 ft 7 in) tall, average height for the period. RE: Weird Facts u know - Kai-V - Jan. 30, 2012 The French article on Napoléon Bonaparte has a completely different number though ... http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napol%C3%A9on_Ier#cite_ref-29 RE: Weird Facts u know - Hazel - Jan. 30, 2012 If you'll read what I quoted in my above post, it probably explains it... in fact, it does. Pouces are different than inches, so "foot" height is completely different.

Such things easily become a big story in a matter of days and the person himself is compelled to suicide. IDK about china but it comes under animal violence in india judicially and it does not lead to death. Killing a person however generally leads to a death sentence. Not really.

RE: Weird Facts u know - Clonetos - Feb. 13, 2012 I know some things like A hematoma is a blood clot located in a part of the body that was hit by a blunt object.

I also know about how a Cyst can be removed within the persons body AND i know that cherry wood pops in a fire place A hematoma is not necessarily clotted blood, just blood(more often, in fact, fluid) that has pooled outside of blood vessels, and nowhere in the universe is a blunt object a specification of it. I'm not sure what your second sentence was intended to mean - humans can get cysts on internal organs, and they can be removed, yes. Many types of wood pop in a fireplace. Any time there is enough space in the grooves/fibers of the wood for pressure to build.

The thing is before Osama tezuka became a manga artist he was in fact a doctor this is where most of his medical knowledge stemmed from. Oh also there were easter eggs in the show/manga such as Astro boy, phoenix, kimba, etc. heck Sharaku another character from another piece of work of his was somewhat of a main character in the anime. And i mean the Anime anime not the OVA from like the 90s/80s |
