KNOW YOUR FACTS
Tak boleh bla oh mengancam.Oh Yeah, I have this book.
No, as dirty as it sounds, its not. Its a book full of really cool facts that we don't know. Let me show you some.
WHY DO YOU CRY WHEN YOU CUT ONIONS?
Cutting an onion releases enzyme called lachrymatory-factor synthase which triggers tears. Scientists tried making a non-crying onion by taking out the enzyme but it seems that the crying enzymes are responsible for the zesty onion flavour. Hmmm, the most reliable way : order take out.
IS IT BAD TO CRACK YOUR KNUCKLES?
Cracking your knuckles isn't as bad as people think. The usual argument is that knuckle popping causes arthritis. Chronic knuckle cracking may cause a decrease in grip strength, but not arthritis. So what causes the pop sound? It's produced in the joints where bubbles burst in the synovial fluid(what?) surrounding the join. Cool eh?
WHAT CAUSES MORNING BREATH?
In Australia, the poo fairy comes at night to take a dump in your mouth.
Well only that part is cute. The others are boring scientific names haha.
WHY DO YOU GET EYEBAGS WHEN YOU ARE TIRED?
The skin around the eyes are the thinnest found in the body and this skin allows dark, venous blood to show through. They appear to be genetic. Easy way: eyes, meet sunglasses. Sunglasses, meet your worst nightmare.
WHY DOES SWEAT STINK AND STAIN?
Have you ever used the term 'sweat like a pig'? Think again. Pigs don't sweat. They don't even have sweat glands, which explains why they wallow in mud to cool off. Sweat is mostly water but there is a small amount of protein and fatty acids in the sweat glands that gives the armpit sweat that wonderful milky or yellow colour. Sweat itself is odorless whether it comes from the arm pit or any part of your body. The funk begins when sweat mixes with bacteria . Its called bromhidrosis -- foul smelling sweat.
WHAT ARE HICCUPS AND HOW TO GET RID OF THEM?
Hiccups are caused when the diaphragm becomes irritated and pushes the air rapidly up. Most cases of hiccups lasts for a few minutes. Some cases of hiccups can last for days or weeks. Hiccups lasting longer than a month are termed incurable. The longest recorded attack of hiccups is six decades. (awesome haha). You could try simple unproven cures:
1.Drink out of a cup from the opposite side of ur mouth
2.Eat a teaspoon of sugar and risking diabetes
3.Pulling the top of ur hair for 2 mins
4.Pulling hard on ur tongue
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FART?
The temperature of fart at its time of creation is 98.6 degrees Farenheit. Farts have been clocked at a speed of 10 feet per second ;o Women fart as much as men (danngg) Most people fart 14 times a day. We can ignite farts! Due to hydrogen and methane released. There is some danger associated with igniting fart but fraternity guys doesn't seem to care.
Lastly,
WHY DO MEN HAVE NIPPLES?
During development, the embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in for a male embryo. So u get the point.
Cool eh? Got lots more but u go buy the book lahh.
