SUMMARY:
- If your second toe is
longer than the big one, then you’re pretty special, my friend! Only 1 in 10
people has this peculiarity, and it’s even got a name: Morton’s toe.
- If Turkish coffee comes
from Turkey, then Irish coffee must be from... the United States! Yep, it was
invented in San Francisco.
- The 20th century lasted
from 1901 to 2000, which means the 21st century began in 2001.
- One of the oldest tips
for surviving a crocodile attack is to run away from it in zigzags. This is
completely useless advice, though, because crocodiles rarely attack from land.
- Just putting something
silver in the water, whether it’s a spoon, chain, or coin, won’t cut it because
there aren’t enough silver ions to get that cleansing effect.
- All types of tea – green,
black, white, and so on – grow on the same bush. They just get their specific
tastes and appearances after the leaves are harvested.
- Ostriches bend down to
the sand to eat it, not bury their head in it. Swallowing it along with small
pebbles helps their digestion.
- The Great Wall of China
isn’t visible to the naked eye from space. However, some humanmade
constructions, such as the ancient pyramids at Giza, are!
- Ever been told you have
the memory of a goldfish? Well, scientists now believe that these fish can
remember for up to five months and are even responsive to training!
- Bulls are colorblind to
red and green, so they can’t even see it. As for what sends them into a
charging frenzy in the ring, it’s the matador’s movements they consider a
threat, not his red muleta!
- For a long time, vets
thought that dogs see the world like one big old-timey movie, but recent
studies suggest that dogs actually have colored vision!
- Lightning doesn’t have any sort of memory,
and there are plenty of accounts when the same building was hit more than once!
your
mind gets overloaded with tons of
information every single
day so it just
takes a lot of things as
fact even if
they are to really have you
always
thought that ostriches bury
their heads
in the sand or that Bulls hate
the color
red then keep on watching
for the most
common misconceptions out
there
number 21 your big toe is
the biggest
one take a look at your
toes if your
second toe is longer than
the big one
then you're pretty special
my friend
only one in ten people has
this
peculiarities and it's even
got a name
Morton's toe in ancient
Greece a foot
with Morton's toe was
considered a sign
of beauty by the way the
Statue of
Liberty has it too number
20 cologne was
invented for its pleasant
scent
the first cologne was
created by Italian
perfumer Johann Maria
Farina in Cologne
Germany in 1709 the
instructions on the
bottle said that this
miracle water is
an antidote a cure for
plague and
jaundice that it gives
strength to women
in labour and alleviates
ringing in the
ears well its capabilities
might have
been a bit exaggerated the
aromatic
tincture did have
antiseptic properties
given that it contained
alcohol but I
don't know about all that
other stuff
number 19
Irish Coffee is from
Ireland if Turkish
coffee comes from Turkey
then Irish
Coffee must be from the
United States
wait what yep it was
invented in San
Francisco any local will
tell you one of
the things that will never
change about
this city is crowded cafes
every Sunday
as people rush in for a cup
of their
favorite Irish coffee as
for Ireland tea
is a lot more popular there
number 18
the 21st century began in
the year 2000
you know that had one trick
you can use
to tell what century it is
like if the
year is nineteen something
it's 20th
century eighteen something
is the 90
century and so on well it
makes sense
that the year 2000 would be
the 21st
century right but according
to the
Gregorian calendar the new
era began in
the first year and there
was no Year
Zero or the so called
starting pole so
the 20th century lasted
from 1901 to
2000 which means the 21st
century began
in 2001 yeah let that sink
in number 17
gladiators fought to the
death Hollywood
movies often show gladiator
fights as
bloody performances with
only one
survivor left in the end
the less
dramatic reality is that
most fights
took place according to
strict rules the
rivals had to match each
other in terms
of physical size and
appearance the
judges watched everything
closely and as
soon as one of the warriors
was
seriously injured the
battle stopped
both gladiators could often
leave the
arena with honours after a
spectacular
show even if it is cut
short number 16
meteorites fall to earth
brand hot
another common scene on the
big screen
is a red-hot meteorite that
supposedly
fallen to earth but in
reality 9 out of
10 meteorites are just cold
rocks with
very low thermal
conductivity only the
outside part of a meteorite
gets burned
during its first few
seconds of entering
the atmosphere plus the
cold center
cools it down from the
inside pretty
fast unless what's inside
is a blob of
course so basically don't
expect to fry
an egg on it or anything
it'll just be warm at best
number 15 you
have to run away from a
crocodile in a
zig zag one of the oldest
tips for
surviving a crocodile
attack is to run
away from it in zigzags
since it's hard
for the animal to turn
around quickly
and follow you this is
completely
useless advice though
because crocodiles
rarely attack from land
besides the
average human could easily
outrun an
alligator zigzagging
or not this reptile can
only reach a
speed of about 11 miles per
hour and it
can't maintain that for
very long number
14 all women experience PMS
a lot of
people assume that
premenstrual syndrome
or PMS is something that
happens to
every female every month
right before
her period
but the Journal of women's
health says
that about 80% of women
have never
experienced PMS even in its
mildest form
any bad mood or unstable
emotional state
is more likely a
coincidence than a
pattern number 13 when an
elevator Falls
you have to jump up make
sense right I
mean if you jump in your
midair when the
elevator hits the ground
then you're
safe well as long as you
know exactly
when to jump and that's
almost
impossible to predict
because you're
inside the elevator and
can't see when
it's about to smash into
the floor even
if someone managed to pull
it off an
elevator falls so fast that
they'd
immediately hit their head
on the
ceiling of the cabin number
12 you can
control whether or not your
baby will be
a boy or a girl
the earliest known calendar
that
supposedly helps future
parents plan
what their baby will be was
invented in
China it took into account
the phases of
the Moon and the
peculiarities of a
woman's body but in 2010 US
scientists
analyzed these Chinese
calculations and
concluded that this source
is about as
reliable as flipping a coin
according to
experts as of now there is
no 100% sure
way you can actually
control if your
baby will be a boy or a
girl
number 11 silver objects
purify water
from bacteria this
statement holds some
truth because silver does
have
antibacterial properties
however just
putting something silver in
the water
whether it's a spoon chain
or coin won't
cut it because there aren't
enough
silver ions to get that
cleansing effect
number 10 green and black
tea leaves are
collected from different
bushes all
types of tea green black
white and so on
grow on the same bush they
just get
their specific tastes and
appearances
after the leaves are
harvest
it's all about the
different processes
of leaf drying and
fermentation number
nine a night owl can't
become an early
bird actually it's totally
possible
you just have to avoid
using any digital
devices before bedtime
because the blue
light they emit suppresses
the secretion
of melatonin the hormone
that makes us
sleepy give this tip a try
and you'll
fall asleep much earlier
and thus wake
up early enough to get that
worm number
eight an ostrich hides its
head in the
sand when in danger these
animals just
bend down to the sand to
eat it not bury
their head in it swallowing
it along
with small pebbles helps
their digestion
number seven you can't wake
a
sleepwalker nope you can
and in fact
should wake a sleepwalking
person if
they're about to do
something risky that
might hurt them or someone
else in any
other case it's better to
gently guide
them back to bed number six
you can see
the Great Wall of China
from space the
Great Wall of China is
invisible to the
naked eye from space
however some human-made
constructions
such as the ancient
Pyramids at Giza
our number five goldfish
have a really
bad memory ever been told
you have the
memory of a goldfish can't
remember huh
well scientists now believe
that these
fish can remember for up to
five months
and are even responsive to
training sit
stay good fishy number four
people gain
weight during cold seasons
gotta lose
this winter weight we all
tell ourselves
that one don't we but a
2014 study by
Austrian researchers showed
the exact
opposite cold weather makes
people
shiver so it actually helps
them lose
weight and that's because
shivering like
physical exercise burns
body fat so if
you take it easy on the
holiday meals
you should be thinner in
winter than you
are in the summer
number three Bulls hate the
color red
whatever you do don't wear
red to a
bullfight because the bull
will not even
notice actually bulls are
color blind to
read and agree so they
can't even see it
as for what sends them into
a charging
frenzy in the ring hits the
Matadors
movements they consider a
threat not as
red maleta
number two dogs see
everything in black
and white for a long time
that's thought
that dogs see the world
like one big
old-timey movie but recent
studies
suggest that dogs actually
have colored
vision it's just not as
bright as a
person sight they see the
world mostly
in yellow blue and gray
hues number one
lightning doesn't strike
the same place
twice that's how the old
saying goes
right well I wouldn't count
on it too
much next time you're
looking for a
place to hide during a
storm lightning
doesn't have any sort of
memory and
there are plenty of
accounts when the
same building was hit more
than once if
you know any other facts
that turned out
to be false leave them down
