There was a
woman named
Joyce Vincent who
died in her
apartment in 2003
and wasn’t found by anyone until
three years later.
The only reason
anyone found her
is because a police
officer smelled the stench, of which
her other neighbors
had ignored, and
finally entered the
apartment to find
her body. That’s terrifying to
think that even if
you’re sociable and
well liked that you
can be forgotten
that easy in death.

The San Fernando
Massacre. It was
the mass murder of
193 people by Los
Zetas drug cartel in
Mexico. They kidnapped victims
who were then
killed and buried in
47 clandestine mass
graves. Female
kidnapping victims were raped and
able-bodied male
kidnapping victims
were forced to
fight to the death
with other hostages, similar to
a “gladiator fight
from ancient
Rome,” where they
were given knives,
hammers, machetes, and clubs
to find recruits
who were willing
to kill for their
lives.

Capgras syndrome.
A certain kind of

Purring is part of every cat's
repertoire of social
communication, apparently
created by the movement of
air in spasms through
contractions of the diaphragm. Interestingly,
purring is sometimes heard in
cats who are severely ill or
anxious, perhaps as a self-
comforting vocalization. But,
more typically, it is a sign of contentment, first heard in
kittens as they suckle milk
from their mother.

kill until the hunter arrived.

The color of the points in
Siamese cats is heat related.
Cool areas are darker. In fact,
Siamese kittens are born
white because of the heat
inside the mother's uterus before birth. This heat keeps
the kittens hair from
darkening on the points.

The dachshund is one of the
oldest dog breeds in history
(dating back to ancient
Egypt.) The name comes from
one of its earliest uses -
hunting badgers. In German, Dachs means "badger," Hund is

The phrase "raining cats and
dogs" originated in 17th
Century England. During
heavy downpours of rain,
many of these poor animals
unfortunately drowned and their bodies would be seen
floating in the rain torrents
that raced through the streets.
The situation gave the
appearance that it had literally
rained "cats and dogs" and led to the current expression.

million specimens. A smaller
museum in Sanibel, Florida owns a mere 2 million shells

only museum devoted solely
to mollusks

. The term "dog days" has
nothing to do with dogs. It
dates back to Roman times,

called a mule, but when a male
horse and female donkey
mate, the offspring is called a
hinny.

When a queen bee lays the
fertilized eggs that will
develop into new queens,
only one of the newly laid
queens actually survives. The
first new queen that emerges from her cell destroys all
other queens in their cells and,
thereafter, reigns alone.

When ants find food, they lay
down a chemical trail, called a
pheromone, so that other ants
can find their way from the
nest to the food source.

When the Black Death swept
across England one theory
was that cats caused the
plague. Thousands were
slaughtered. Ironically, those
that kept their cats were less affected, because they kept
their houses clear of the real
culprits, rats.

Worker ants may live seven
years and the queen may live
as long as 15 years.

You're more likely to be a
target for mosquitoes if you
consume bananas.

In the developed
world, the most
common birth control
methods are condoms
and oral contraceptives.

During the Middle Ages
in Europe, the Catholic
Church deemed any
effort to prevent pregnancy as immoral, though women at the
time still used a
number of birth
control methods, such
as coitus interruptus
and inserting lily root and rue into the vagina.

While teen pregnancy
rates in the U.S. have
decreased in recent
years, teens in the U.S.
still have more
unintended pregnancies than teens in any other country.

Baby facts
1. Scientists in Norway
videoed babies who were
delivered onto their mothers’
tummies, and found to their
astonishment that if left to
their own devices, the babies used their limbs in a slow but
coordinated way to crawl up
and reach the breast where
they then latched on and fed
unaided.

2. Your baby is born with
very sophisticated hearing
and can work out where a
sound is coming from just 10
minutes after being born.

3. Psychologists in America
found that even newborn
babies have an elementary
grasp of maths and physics.
They can tell the difference
between one, two, three and more objects, and can also add
up and take away. He may
not have an abstract concept
of numbers, but your baby
knows how many apples
should remain if, for example, one is taken away, and he will
express surprise if it is wrong.

4. Your baby is born to smile.
We know this because blind
babies also smile, so it’s not
just copying.

5. Psychologists have found
that babies as young as just 2
days old can recognise their
mothers from a tape
recording of only one syllable.

6. Your baby is sensitive to
temperature and although she
can’t throw off clothing or
bedding to cool down, she can
do other things. When she is
cool she will move around more and when she is warm
she will lie as if sunbathing,
with her arms and legs flung
out to the side. You can use
these signs to work out if
your baby is too hot or too cold.

7. Your baby’s sense of smell is
much stronger than yours and
he will use it to get to know
you in the early weeks. To
help him, try to avoid really
strong perfumes, deodorants or washing powder and be
aware that some household
smells may be quite
overpowering for him.

8. Parents instinctively use a
special low-keyed rhythm of
speech to attract and keep
their baby’s interest.
Psychologists call this
‘motherese’. Your baby will further encourage you to
speak in motherese by her
intense response when you
use it

. 9. At birth it takes your baby
between five and 10 minutes
to get used to something
new, but by 3 months it will
only take between 30 seconds
and two minutes. And at 6 months, your baby will adjust
in less than 30 seconds.

10. It is estimated that if a
baby continued to grow at
the rate he does in his first
year, by the time he reached
adulthood, he would be as tall
as Nelson’s Column in London.

11. Your newborn baby
prefers human speech to any
other sound, which is why,
when she is older and learning
to talk, she will try to imitate
human sounds rather than inanimate noises such as the
telephone ringing.

12. Your newborn baby won’t
cry tears for at least three
weeks, and sometimes not
until he is 4 or 5 months old.
Tears contain stress hormones
and so crying is a way of helping him calm down. No
other animal cries stress tears.

13. Your baby could sense
how you were feeling even in
the womb! Researchers asked
pregnant mums to listen to
various types of music
through headphones and then measured their babies’
movements with ultrasound.
Most babies became more
active when the music was
on, especially if their mum
was listening to music she liked. What is fascinating is
that the babies could not hear
the music ‘ it was only audible
to the mums, so the babies
were responding to their
mums’ emotional responses to the music.

14. Touch is one of your
baby’s most advanced senses
at birth and even premature
babies born as early as 25
weeks are aware of being
touched. Your baby’s sense of touch develops from head to
toe, so her mouth is the first
region to become sensitive,
which is why young babies
put everything in their
mouths.

15. Your baby can monitor
your tone of voice and will
react to it. For example, if you
smile at him while talking in a
frightened voice, or did the
reverse ‘ spoke in a happy voice while looking scared,
you would probably find that
he becomes agitated.

16. To help you fall head-over-
heels in love with your
newborn baby, her pupils
dilate just after she is born.
This is a sign that she finds
you attractive and helps you find her attractive, too.

17. For the first three months
of life your baby can focus on
objects about 22cm away ‘
the perfect distance for seeing
your face when feeding, and
also for focusing on his own body, particularly his hands.
18. Your newborn baby’s life
depends on being close to you,
not only to see you but so
you can keep her warm and
safe. Her whole being is
designed to make you want to keep her close. Her
endearing round forehead,
tiny nose, big round eyes and
chubby limbs trigger deeply
ingrained emotional responses
that make you want to help and protect her. Indeed
cartoonists exploit these
features. The next time you
watch a cartoon, see how the
artists exaggerate these baby
features to increase the ‘ahhh’ factor.

19. Your baby’s cry has been
specially designed to make
you sit up and take notice.
Researchers have discovered
that new mums are able to
distinguish their own baby’s cries from a ward full of other
babies just three days after
giving birth.

20. In your baby’s first year,
his brain will double to
become half its final size. 21. Researchers have
discovered that 6-month-old
babies can distinguish
between individual humans or
individual monkeys. But by 9
months, while babies could still tell the difference
between human faces, they
can’t tell one monkey from
another

The sense of smell
connects to the part
of the brain that also
controls emotions
and memories. This is
why smells often evoke strong
memories.
