Modificato da annoyinginge: 12/4/2013 10:51:01 AMSome pressure-related facts: If you ever find yourself in a vacuum, you should exhale immediately to stop the unbalanced air pressure from rupturing your lungs. If you do this, you'll have about 10 seconds of consciousness in which to save yourself, after which you pass out. Death will follow in a few minutes unless somebody rescues you. People have been exposed to vacuum for over a minute and survived with no lasting injuries. Divers don't get it so easy. In 1983, five people were killed by rapid decompression of a diving bell. The diver closest to the breach had his spine, limbs and internal organs blown out, all of which were subsequently ejected from the bell by the pressure, reaching over thirty feet in height.

1 RispondiGoogul, or 10^100, is more than the total amount of atoms in the universe. Pi has every possible number combination. That means every even that will ever happen is represented in Pi. Nintendo gave support for the NES for over 20 years. Egyptians invented marshmallows. Egyptians did not use slave labor when building the pyramids. Farmers were free for some time in between harvests. So they worked on the pyramids and received benefits for their labor. Romans built the first factory thousands of years before the industrial revolution. Easter island was once covered in trees. The local residents rectified that so they could become cannibals. A telegram was sent, and intercepted, that read "it would be a fine day to attack Pearl Harbor." It was dismissed as nothing. The sender? A Japanese man working on the island. The year? 1942. Japan had a nuclear weapons program during WWII, which produced a working nuclear device. However, American firebombing destroyed the main facilities, stalling the project. (Actually, the US may have nuked the city the uranium enrichment site was in.)

1 RispondiKoalas never drink water. They get fluids from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. A turtle can breathe through its anus. In space, astronauts cannot cry, because there is no gravity, so the tears can’t flow. There are 240 dots on an arcade Pac-Man game. King Louis XIX ruled France for 15 minutes. Because of the rotation of the earth, an object can be thrown farther if it is thrown west. A man’s beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex.

Everything in our universe will quantum-tunnel into balls of iron (the element with the lowest binding energy). This will take about 10^(1500) years. These balls of iron are speculated to quantum tunnel into black holes.

2 RisposteScience has yet to explain how humans are able to swim. Police don't advertise the fact but as public servants, they're obligated to follow all the orders you give them, no matter how absurd. The theme from Ghostbusters was banned in America for two years after the film's release due to concerns people would call the ghostbusters instead of 911. No human ever set foot on Antarctica until 1971 That's all :I

2 RisposteModificato da Steel Assassin: 7/27/2013 4:22:48 AMPaul Revere never said "The British are coming!" Instead, the phrase was "The Regulars are here!" and in fact, Revere was only 1 of 3 men that made the ride. Revere never made the whole trip (though I guess that's less surprising to those who played ACIII. Jerks.) There was one form of ritual found among some Native Americans that before war the wives of warriors would have sex with the elders of their community, then have sex with the husband, to transfer the elders' spirit and power into battle. That's respecting your elders at its finest, I suppose (Recon, don't get any ideas). Wovoka, the great leader of Native American Ghost Dance movement, who was considered by those who followed him to be either the Messiah or messenger of the Messiah, ended up as an extra in Western movies after the movement died due to the Wounded Knee Massacre.
