WEEK 2 - 10 Interest Things

I'm just knowing about some interesting things recently and would like to share with someone

BUBBLE WRAP

    Bubble wrap is kind of interesting creation as the function of protecting valuable and vulnerable product. And many of us have an oddity habit such as compressing it to make some satisfying pop sound,  it is often used as a source of amusement. Even has it own celebration day on the last monday of the January! The fact is, bubble wrap was originally designed to be used as wallpaper. Two inventors named Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes. But this wallpaper idea didn't sell too well in 1957. After that, this creation turn to used it as greenhouse insulation, this idea didn't pan out popularly either. After 3 years, bubble wrap finally used as a good packaging material to protect computer and others fragile product due to IBM announced their new 1401 variable word length computer.

NOTICE THE FEET LOCATION

    If you approach two people who are in the middle of a conversation and their legs point to the opposite direction of you – might mean that they are not really interested in you, and probably don’t want to share the conversation. Quite interesting to knowing this kind of knowledge.

RUBIK'S CUBE

    Rubik's cube is a puzzle game which attracted many people to play. In fact, a standard rubik's cube can be solved in 20 moves or less! There are many different algorithms and varying in complexity and number of moves required, but those can memorized and used by a human is typically require more than 40 moves.

ESTIMATE DOG'S LIFE

    One can estimate his dog’s life expectancy by viewing the dog’s facial features – dogs with long, sharp faces intend to live longer than those who have a more flat face. It's a weird way to estimate.

DISAPPEARING BRAIN

     

    By the age of 35, a human will lose about 7,000 brain cells everyday. Unfortunately for us, those cells will never re-new. Learn more since we were young is the best way from prevent us wasting our brain cell.

STRONGEST ORGAN

    The strongest organ in our body is the tongue. You may not able to lift weights with it, but relative to it’s size, this is the strongest muscle in body that works almost nonstop by talking, eating and swallowing.

TURTLE

    I love turtle so much! Although after knowing the turtle can breathe through its butt.

ROAD WILL PLAY MUSIC FOR YOU

    Japan has invested in a series of melody roads that sing out a tune as you drive over them, as part of a new tourist attraction and anti-sleep mechanism.

THE MYSTERIOUS MONK

Joseph Aigner was a known painter in Austria, 19th century. Aigner was pretty depressed and tried to kill himself numerous times. His first try was when he was 18 years old, he tried to hang himself but got disturbed by a mysterious appearance of a monk. when he reached 22 he tried to hang himself again, but the mysterious monk came in his path once again, preventing his death. 8 years later death came to visit again only this time by kidnappers that took Aigner for his political opinions – again, the monk appeared on time and saved him. Only at age 68 Aigner managed to kill himself with a bullet through his head. The memorial service was held by the mysterious monk – whose name Aigner never knew. Such an incredible coincidence.

NOSE IN OUR VISION

    We see our nose at all times, but our brain just chooses to ignore it. (I'd try many time to stop ignoring it)
