Teach me something new.

For today, I am naught but a common dog and not a man. Born of wrought, hapless and void of direction, a beast of burden awaiting your command. Speak to me freely; I am listening.

  • The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

    • How to calculate a set of stairs: If the stair set is 63” tall (5’ 3”) then you divide the inches by 7. Always divide by 7. This gives you the number of steps, so 63/7= 12. So 12 steps. Each tread most commonly is 10.5 inches, which is the part you step on. So 10.5 * 12 is the total run, which is 126 “. Total rise is 63”, total run is 126”. Now to get how high each riser is, divide the total height by the number of steps. In this case, 63/12 which equals 5.25”. Now you know how to calculate a set of stairs.

    • Each color in a persons field of vision has a neurological effect on them. This is independent of whether or not a person likes that color. Black, white, and navy blue create a neurological response that makes the viewer think of authority, while brown makes the viewer more willing and comfortable to talk. This is why many police uniforms are a combination of navy, white, and black, while psychologist's offices are predominantly brown, with wood and leather decor. Some las enforcement agencies, such as the CHP adopted brown uniforms, so as to exhibit authority less, and hopefully promote people to be more willing to talk to them. Red and yellow promote the creation of adrenaline. This is why some fast food companies use these colors for their decor. Adrenaline will make a hungry person feel more hungry so they will order more. It will also promote dine-in customers to want to get up and do something, meaning they will leave sooner to open more seats for new customers. Orange makes people feel as if others around them are on an equal level to themselves. If you eat while the color pink is within your field of vision, things will taste sweeter. This is why pastry and donut shops, cake make rs, and other confectionary creators usually give you their product on a pink box. Light blue promotes imagination and daydreaming.

      • In Ireland we don't say 'good morning', we say 'póg mo hón salach' (poge muh hone sal-ack) which means 'may the sun guide your way today' and I think that's beautiful.

                  • Before the goal of the Apollo mission became putting man on the moon the goal was to nuke the moon to show the dominance of the US. However, before the US completely partook in such an incredibly stupid idea, scientists stepped in to stop the mission because the side effects of blowing up the moon would literally kill everything.

                  • Female wheat weevils lay between 36 and 254 eggs and usually one egg is deposited in each grain kernel. All larval stages and the pupal stage occur within the grain. The larvae feed inside the grain until pupation, after which they bore a hole out of the grain and emerge. They are rarely seen outside of the grain kernel. The lifecycle takes about 5 weeks in the summer, but may take up to 20 weeks in cooler temperatures
