YOU LOSE MOST OF YOUR BODY HEAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD

Actually, if you were completely naked you would lose the same amount

of body heat everywhere. It’s just that your head is less likely to

be covered.

 

 

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA IS THE ONLY MAN MADE

OBJECT YOU CAN SEE FROM SPACE

Even from low Earth orbit the wall is extremely hard to spot and there are

other monuments that are much easier to see. This myth is hundreds

of years old, however, so it’s not hard to understand why people would

have thought something like this.

 

 

GLASS IS A SLOW MOVING LIQUID

Although it may seem this way especially when you see those old

windows that seem to be really wavy, glass doesn’t “flow”.

It is an amorphous solid.

 

 

DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR TONGUE DETECT

DIFFERENT TASTES

The truth is that we detect all the tastes on every part of our tongue

to roughly the same extent.

 

 

PEOPLE THOUGHT THE EARTH WAS FLAT BEFORE

COLUMBUS DISCOVERED IT WASN’T

Wrong again. People have known since Greek times that we live

on a large spherical ball.

 

 

DEOXYGENATED BLOOD IS BLUE

Although it can appear blue with the right lighting it is actually dark red.

 

 

CHAMELEONS CHANGE COLOUR TO MATCH

THEIR SURROUNDINGS

While they do change colour, its actually due to physiological

and emotional changes.

 

 

HUMANS HAVE FIVE SENSES

http://cdn2.list25.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/181.png

The total number of senses varies depending upon the scientist

you’re asking. Nociception and proprioception are two examples of

“extra” senses, but one thing is for sure…we have more than five.

 

 

MOTHER BIRDS WILL ABANDON BABY BIRDS

IF YOU TOUCH THEM

Most people think it’s because of your smell but this is wrong.

Baby birds don’t get abandoned just because a human touches them.
