thanks Florencia!!! amazing facts! and I didn't know any of them.
EliminarHi guys! wow! some of these facts are very surprising, and others are quite funny too! (I actually tried to type the words with my left and right hand!! haha). I definitely didn't know there was a phobia for long words!! Anyway, here I have some interesting facts for you, check these ones out:
ResponderEliminar-The word "mafia" is never mentioned in the film "The Godfather" because the actual mafia demanded it.
-The budget for the Movie "Titanic" was higher than the Titanic itself!
-Bruce Lee was so fast, they actually had to run his films slower so you can see his moves. (Can you believe it?)
-Time Travel depictions in films and TV are banned in China. (Reason: They “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”)
-In 1977, we received a signal from deep space that lasted 72 seconds. We still don't know how or where it came from.
-Most astronauts become two inches taller in space. (Probably I should travel to the outer space then!)
-Elvis Presley didn't write any of his songs
-The U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition in the 20s and 30s, killing over 10,000 people..
-If you have $10 in your pocket and no debts, you are wealthier than 25% of Americans.
-Every tweet Americans send is being archived by the Library of Congress.
-Only two modern English words end in “-gry”: “angry” and “hungry”. (actually, there are several other English words ending in -gry, but they are all obsolete or obscure: none of them would find a place in dictionaries of current English.)
Bye! xoxo
awesome Florencia! If you're planning to go to space to get a bit taller, let me know! I'll join you!! ja ja
EliminarHi everybody!! I came across this information on tv and I really enjoyed it. Ihope you'll too.
ResponderEliminarAnimals have no such scruples about doping. All levels of the animal kingdom, from flies to top predators, indulge in drugs and alcohol. In 2010, elephants destroyed 60 houses in a village in India after they found the villagers' supply of a supply of a local brew, a drink made from fermented rice.
Horses
South American horses have their own drug they prefer. The waxy monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusa sauvagei); native to South America extracts a film onto their skin. This film is made of Epibatidine, a painkiller that is stronger than morphine and makes the horses hyper. When horses are lucky to come across one of these frogs they make sure to get a lick off them resulting in some excited horses.
Jaguars
The root of the banisteriopsis caapi is better than even wild catnap to jaguars. Jaguars hunt for the caapi plant, and then dig down to the roots to nibble at them until they get high since the caapi root is an antidepressant containing powerful MAOIs. Once high the jaguars act like kittens, rolling around and licking themselves and other cats while their senses are heightened. The caapi vine is found easily in South America making it an often-used psychedelic plant by both animals and humans.
Reindeer
We found out how reindeer fly, and they do it more often than just on Christmas Eve night. In the frozen north wild hallucinogenic amanita muscaria mushroom grow and reindeer love to consume this mushrooms along with the other various fungi and plants they chew up. The mushrooms make the reindeer feel like they are floating (flying) and they prance around while high on it. Another odd fact is that primitive shamans saw the reindeer were acting high and not wanting to risk death by the mushrooms would collect the reindeer’s urine to drink and get the same hallucinogenic effect.
Wallabies
Wallabies managed to confuse poppy farmers for the longest time in 2009. The wallabies would go into the opium poppy fields and all the farmers would find is huge circular crush marks, damaged crop circles. It was an unsolved mystery for a long time until one day it happened again and someone noticed the wallabies breaking into the field. They would then eat many poppies, and be so high that they could not hop straight, only going around in circles. Wallabies seem to like this new poppy high since they return repeatedly.
wow Moni!! really impressive!!
