Nobleval: When you die your hair stillThis has been proven to be false. The hair doesn't necessarily grow but because of the surrounding skin drying out and shrinking, it looks likes hair and nails have grown. |

41. We are about 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. 42. It takes twice as long to lose new muscle if you stop working out than it did to gain it. Lazy people out there shouldn’t use this as motivation to not work out, however. It’s relatively easy to build new muscle tissue and get your muscles in shape, so if anything, this fact should be motivation to get off the couch and get moving. 43. Tears and mucus contain an enzyme (lysozyme) that breaks down the cell wall of many bacteria. 44. It is not possible to tickle yourself. Even the most ticklish among us do not have the ability to tickle ourselves. 45. The width of your armspan stretched out is the length of your whole body. While not exact down to the last millimeter, your armspan is a pretty good estimator of your height. 46. Humans are the only animals to produce emotional tears. 47. Women burn fat more slowly than men, by a rate of about 50 calories a day. Most men have a much easier time burning fat than women. Women, because of their reproductive role, generally require a higher basic body fat proportion than men, and as a result their bodies don’t get rid of excess fat at the same rate as men. 48. Koalas and primates are the only animals with unique fingerprints. Humans, apes and koalas are unique in the animal kingdom due to the tiny prints on the fingers of their hands. 49. One human hair can support 3.5 ounces. That’s about the weight of two full size candy bars, and with hundreds of thousands of hairs on the human head, makes the tale of Rapunzel much more plausible. 50. Cna yuo raed tihs?

Nobleval: oluamid...what about.eat,drink,cry,run,wake,....these are words for chrissake! What's a sentence? You obviously didn't get my explanation. An imperative sentence gives a direct command. It can end in a full stop or an exclamation mark, depending on the forcefulness of the command. e.g Clear this desk by tomorrow! Please tidy your room. If the command is forceful, use an exclamation mark. For example: Get out! Go! So? |

10 Facts about wine: 1. In ancient Greece, a dinner host would take the first sip of wine to assure guests the wine was not poisoned, hence the phrase “drinking to one’s health.” 2. Since wine tasting is essentially wine smelling, women tend to be better wine testers because women, particularly of reproductive ages, have a better sense of smell than men. 3. Red wines are red because fermentation extracts color from the grape skins. White wines are not fermented with the skins present. 4. In the whole of the Biblical Old Testament, only the Book of Jonah has no reference to the vine or wine. 5. The world’s oldest bottle of wine dates back to A.D. 325 and was found near the town of Speyer, Germany, inside one of two Roman sarcophaguses. 6. Serving temperatures should be lower for white (45-50 degrees Fahrenheit) than for red wines (50-60 degrees Fahrenheit). 7. There is a right and wrong way to hold a wine glass. Wine glasses should always be held by the stem and not the bowl because the heat of the hand will raise the temperature of the wine. 8. Red wine represents 55% of restaurant wine sales. 9. Bubbles in wine have been observed since ancient Greece and were attributed to the phases of the moon or to evil spirits. 10. Global warming may redefine wine growing in the future. Even tiny temperature changes can dramatically change the quality of wine. |

Even though the lion is sometimes referred to as the “king of the jungle,” it actually only lives in grasslands and plains. The expression may have come from an incorrect association between Africa and jungles or may refer to a less literal meaning of the word jungle. . 19. A lion’s heels don’t touch the ground when it walks. |

Some Facts Of A Movie Named Merlin. The Great Dragon is computer generated but is voiced by English actor, John Hurt. Kilgharrah has yellow eyes, and they look exactly like the eyes of a sorcerer when they are using magic. This could be because he is a creature of magic. However Aithusa, also a creature of magic, has blue eyes. The Dragon's face is done using motion capture technology. John Hurt's facial movements are used to create that of Kilgharrah's while recording his lines for the show. . John Hurt is credited in all the episodes, even though Kigharrah's role and appearances becomes less frequent after his freedom. This is probably because each episode always starts with Kilgharrah's voice saying "In a land of myth and a time of magic the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy/man. His name...Merlin. The chain securing Kilgharrah that Merlin cuts is a length of ships' studded anchor chain. |

Not arguing at all in a relationship represents a lack of interest. People who care about one another tend to argue now and again. Psychology fact: Most of the problems in your life are due to two reasons: you act without thinking, or think without acting. Psychology says, comparing yourself to others is the root cause for feelings of unhappiness, self blame and depression. The worst types of 'friends' are those who try and knock you down to make themselves feel better . The people who smile, laugh and joke around the most are usually the unhappiest. |

Twinkle Dwivedi was only eleven years old when she first exhibited the strange condition that gained her worldwide attention. There, in the midst of her friends, she began to cry blood. Although she claimed it didn't hurt, she was ridiculed by her peers and became an object of both disgust, wonder, and mystery. Blood not only oozes from Twinkle's tear ducts up to fourteen times a day, but also from her pores as well. Even now, as she has grown, there has been no medical explanation for her condition. Some religious and supernatural explanations have been offered, but no one seems to be able to agree. It could even be that Twinkle suffers from a disease so rare that she is the only person on record to have been afflicted by it. |

25 Little-Known Facts About The Freemasons [img]http://thoughtcatalog.files./2013/10/aa93.jpg?w=584&h=383[/img] 1. The Freemasons are not a secret society. A Mason can freely tell people they are a Mason. They just can’t reveal the secrets of the order. 2. Our founding father and first president, George Washington, was a Freemason. 3. It’s estimated that there are six million Masons in the world today . 4. In the type of Freemasonry practiced in the U.S., members are required to believe in God, though the interpretation of this is left up to the individual member. 5. In the type of Freemasonry practiced in the U.S. (Anglo-American) female members are not allowed, whereas in the type practiced in Europe (Continental), women are generally allowed to be initiated. 6. Another difference between American and European lodges is that in the U.S. political discussion is banned, but allowed in other sects . 7. A Masonic “lodge” refers to the congregation of people who meet there, it’s not just the name of a building. 8. Each lodge gets a charter from a “Grand Lodge” but they basically run themselves. There’s no overarching ritual for running a meeting, it varies with each individual group. 9. The Masonic symbol of the square and the compass is borrowed from stonemasons, but it’s metaphorical, referring to the philosophical building the Freemason does, though the specific interpretation varies between lodges. 10. There is no one meaning to Masonic allegories. Each Mason can accept their own interpretation. For instance, though belief in a Supreme Being is required in American lodges, the being can be the Christian God, The Islamic God, or something else. 11. 8 of the people who signed the Declaration of Independence were Freemasons. 12. In the U.S., generally, these are the requirements for becoming a mason: Be a man who comes of his own free will. Believe in a Supreme Being (the form of which is left to open interpretation by the candidate). Be at least the minimum age (from 18–25 years old depending on the jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions the son of a Mason, known as a “Lewis,” may join at an earlier age than others). Be of good morals, and of good reputation. Be of sound mind and body (lodges had in the past denied membership to a man because of a physical disability; however, now, if a potential candidate says a disability will not cause problems, it will not be held against him). Be free- born (or “born free”, i.e., not born a slave or bondsman). As with the previous, this is entirely an historical holdover, and can be interpreted in the same manner as it is in the context of being entitled to write a will. Some jurisdictions have removed this requirement. Be capable of furnishing character references, as well as one or two references from current Masons, depending on jurisdiction. 13. A man named William Morgan was rejected from the Masons in the 1800s. He pitched and received a large advance to then publish a book revealing their secrets. He disappeared and was never seen or heard from again. 14. Hitler believed that the Masons were a tool of the Jews and under the Nazi regime, it’s estimated that it is estimated that between 80,000 and 200,000 Freemasons were murdered. |

15. The 14 U.S. presidents known to be Freemasons are: George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Howard Taft, Warren Harding, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford. 16. Most conspiracy theories surround Freemasonry revolve around three false assumptions: That Freemasonry is its own religion, requires belief in a unique Masonic “god”, and that belief in this Masonic “god” is contrary to the teachings of various mainstream religions (although usually noted in terms of being specifically contrary to Christian belief.) That the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite is more than an honorary degree, coupled with the belief that most Freemasons are unaware of hidden or secretive ruling bodies within their organization that govern them, conduct occult ritual, or control various positions of governmental power. That there is a centralized worldwide body that controls all Masonic Grand Lodges, and thus, all of Freemasonry worldwide acts in a unified manner. 17. Conspiracies link Freemasons to the Illuminati. However, this seems unlikely because the Illuminati are an entirely secret society, to the extent that most people do not believe they exist in modern day society, while people are entirely free to divulge they are a member of a Freemason lodge. 18. Charles Darwin was a Freemason. 19. A woman named Catherine Babington wanted to know what Freemasonry was all about so she hid inside a pulpit at meetings in Kentucky for over a year. When discovered, she was held for a month. 20. One of the biggest anti- Mason conspiracies is that Freemasons were responsible for the assassination of JFK. 21. Pope Leo XIII called Freemasonry “the kingdom of Satan” 22. Polar explorers Richard E. Byrd and Bernt Balchen dropped Masonic flags on the North and South poles. 23. 89% of The Supreme Court Justices belonged to Masonic lodges in 1952. 24. Anders Breivik, perpetrator of the 2011 mass murders in Norway, was a practicing Freemason. 25. Because exposés have been published over the years detailing signs and gestures that help Masons recognize each other, some use certain words that are purposely false, in order to tell when people are relying on these exposés. Also, the signs and gestures vary between lodges, so you can’t trust them! |

Every 3.6 seconds a person dies from hunger so by the time this presentation is up, 360 people have died. Every year 1,562,093 people die from poverty, starvation and hunger, and aproximately 5 million of that 1,562,093 are children More than 3 billion people are living on less than $1 a day, and out of that 3 billion, 462 million or more are children. In 2006 and 2008 food prices doubled and they got more expensive to buy leaving some people to starv. All the 41 poor countries in the world combined, containing 567 million people, has worth the wealth of the 7 of the world's richest people! 1 billion children live in poverty and 1 out of every 2 child that is born face poverty and hunger. 640 million of that 3 billion have no proper shelter or home proctecting them from rain. 400 million of that 3 billion don't have safe water. 270 million do not have good health care or none at all. 10.6 million children died in the year of 2003 before they could reach the age of 5! So that means 29,000 children die every day! Every hour about 900 people die because of poor living standards so that means that 21,600 people die every day! |

The Colombian serial killer Pedro Alonso Lopez, who is known as the Monster of the Andes, raped and murdered over 300 girls from Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. However, after he was caught and imprisoned for 18 years, he was put in a psychiatric hospital. There he was reviewed, declared to be sane and was set free, in spite of his blatant avowal that he fully intends to kill again. Since he was released in 1998, nobody knows where he is or what he’s doing. |

If you’re attacked by a bear it won’t try to kill you like other predators would, it’ll just start eating. You have tiny maggot-like beings in your eyelashes that feed off your skins naturals juice. if you damage a certain part of your brain, be it genetically or via accident, you will not recognize faces anymore, you will see what they are made of but you cannot put them together to form faces but you can still recognize everything else without problems Most people die within 50 miles from where they were born. On a typical day going to work in London, you will be filmed by something like 300 cameras. A man received the heart of a suicide victim, married his widow, and years later killed himself on the same day the donor did. Eventually the universe won’t be able to support any life and there will be total darkness forever There is a haunted island in Mexico covered in dolls. A little girl drowned in the river awhile back, and the owner drowned in the same place in 2001. Natives say the possessed dolls killed him. They also say the dolls open their eyes and move on their own… |

If you are a ghost believer, I saw a page on Facebook share about an island in Italy which was the site of: wars, a deportation site for plague victims, and an asylum. It is supposedly SO haunted that the Italian government will not allow public access to it. Island name is Poveglia, worth a Google search. |
