168. Broken Heart Syndrome is a real medical condition brought on by tragedy or shock, and it feels like a heart attack.

1. Mageirocophobia is the intense fear of having to cook. 2. Percussive maintenance is the technical term for hitting something until it works. 3. The first call ever made on a cell phone, was from an engineer named Cooper calling his rival engineer to brag about his accomplishment. 4. People who feel an urge to correct other people’s grammar are actually suffering from a form of OCD, Grammar Pedantry Syndrome. 5. If you are feeling lonely in Japan, you can rent a Japanese middle-aged man. In 2009, a teenager impersoanting a cop went to Chicago Police Department, worked a full shift, drove a squad car, and arrested someone. (maybe he’s the inspiration behind the movie ‘Let’s Be Cops’) 6. The longest ever recorded sniper kill was shot from 2,475 meters at 1.54 miles away by a British soldier Craig Harrison. The bullet took over 6 seconds to reach it’s target and fell about 400 feet. 7.

People who live in Hawaii have a higher life expectancy than the rest of U.S. 154. In South Korea, repeat child sex offenders are chemically castrated. 155.

New Jersey lifeguards can retire when they’re 45 years old with a lifelong pension of up to $61,000 per year. And when they die, the payments continue on to their descendants. 157.

A man with a chronic ear infection cured himself with his own earwax. He was given a number of drugs by doctors, but nothing worked. In desperation, he took earwax from his good ear and placed it in his bad. Two days later, he was fine. 160. If you feel strongly that someone is watching you, they probably are. Your brain has a primal “gaze detection” system that determines whether someone is staring directly at you, which gives you a ‘feeling of being watched.’ |

141. Before he passed away in 2009, Kim Peek could memorize an entire book in an hour. He read two pages at a time, scanning one with each eye.

The actor who played Darth Vader, David Prowse, stopped learning his lines after learning his voice would be dubbed over.

Pentheraphobia is the fear of one’s mother-in-law. 144. The higher your IQ level the easier it is to resist peer pressure. Intelligent people are less concerned with the approval of others. 145. One cigarette contains enough toxic ingredients to kill a person if those ingredients were directly injected into the bloodstream. 146. To get night vision, keep one eye closed in the well lit area and open it in darkness; that eye will be able to see well in the dark. This is why pirates wore eye patches. 147. According to one survey, men spend nearly half their life simply staring at women. (niggaz we’re cursed. Dammit!) 148. A woman in China got an iPhone 7 from each of her twenty rich boyfriends, then she sold them all and bought a house. (Chinese and brains, naija and show off). 149.

Every unborn baby grows a moustache in the womb, which then spreads to cover the entire body. The baby then eats this fine hair, called lanugo, and excretes it after birth with their first bowel movement, which is a substance called Meconium. |

On the Indonesian island Tana Toraja, if a baby dies before he starts teething, the family cuts a hole in a tree and places the dead child inside. The tree grows around the baby and absorbs it. |

126. In October 2016, thousands of giant balls showed up along Siberian beach.

124. In 1903, there was confusion in Leavensworth Prison where William West and William West were sent to. These two are very identical yet unrelated. It took the staff a while to understand that they had two identical different prisoners with the exact same name at the exact same time. They are part of the reason why fingerprints are now used as identification. 125. The first deodorant for men was launched in 1935 (decades after the introduction of deodorants fro women) because, at the beginning of the 20th century, body odour was not considered a problem for men; it was part of being masculine.

coolestchris: Domineering, yes. But that's as a result of their confidence. Omo-Nile of naija, yes. That's cos they have a distaste for poverty and have a craving for success. Greedy, yes. that's cos they are insatiable with success. These traits u mentioned in ur write-up are just qualities of a determined and persistent individuals who wants to be better than who they were and what they were born into. The Hausas have been ruling for more than 30 years but their states still boasts of so much poverty that it'd be trite to mention it and would make me sound redundant. The least in invention, innovation, education, healthcare, but thrive in violence and ignorance. They have the highest number of corrupt wealthy politicians and have the best roads in the country as well. Is that progress? Maybe yes, if relative to backwardness. Have u read the latest released scores for common entrance qualifications for each state? U should. If your Sunday is as useless to u as you've shown it to be, I'm really really sorry about that. Hate Ibos all you want but they'll always keep being who they are and there ain't a thing u can do about it. Unless commit suicide of course. 10 Likes 1 Share |
