25.01.2022 Chewing gum can help improve one's memory UK psychologists found that people who chewed throughout tests of both long-term and short-term memory produced significantly better scores than people who did not. The gum-chewers’ scores were 24% higher than the controls’ on tests of immediate word recall, and 36% higher on tests of delayed word recall. ... Chew that over! #chewitover #OMGFacts2020

23.01.2022 A beautiful Winters day with Spring in the air.

23.01.2022 In 1885, the world's first skyscraper was built in Chicago. The Home Insurance Building went down in history as the world’s first modern skyscraper. Designed by engineer William LeBaron Jenney, the building was supported by a revolutionary steel frame, which allowed for much greater height and stability without the greater weight of traditional masonry construction. It originally had 10 stories and stretched 138 feet in the air. In 1890, two additional floors were added at ...the top, bringing the total height to 180 feet (55 meters). The Home Insurance Building stood until 1931, when it was demolished to make way for another skyscraper, the Field Building. #firstskyscraper #tallestbuilding #homeinsurancebuilding #OMGFacts2020

21.01.2022 The CAIPIRINHA is considered to be the national cocktail of Brazil Consisting of cachaça (a strong rum), lime juice and sugar, it is one of my favourites too! First made in the 1500s, cachaça is similar to rum, but it has a flavor all its own. Most rums are distilled from molasses while cachaça is distilled from the fermented juice of sugar cane. This important difference yields a distinct spirit that is characterized by its funky, grassy flavors, which set the Caipirinha ...apart from other sweet-and-sour cocktails. Many historians believe it was served in the early 20th century as a remedy for illness. Others say it was invented in the 19th century by Brazilian farmers as a way to showcase local sugarcane. The Caipirinha is easy to make and can be constructed right in the glass, but its build instructions are exacting. Lime juice and simple syrup won’t get the job done: The drink specifically calls for lime wedges and finely granulated sugar. Muddling the limes with abrasive sugar helps to release not only the fruit’s juice, but also the rich, aromatic oils from the peel. The difference between a mojito and caipirinha is a mojito is made with rum, mint, and sugar. They are both clear, a little sweet, and muddled, but the drinks taste wildly different. #caipirinha #cachaça

21.01.2022 So this year we are all about TRIVIA! It's taken me a week to finally find the calendar so here we go......... In ancient Greek mythology, who was the god of sleep? Hypnos, known as Somnus in Roman mythology. He was the son of Nyx, goddess of night. He lived in a cave next to his twin brother, Thanatos, in the underworld, where no light was cast by the sun or the moon; the earth in front of the cave was full of poppies and other sleep-inducing plants. The river Lethe (the ...river of forgetfulness) flowed through the cave. #hypnos #Somnus #godofsleep #mythology #Nyx #goddessofnight

20.01.2022 Apparently, soy milk doesn't need to be refrigerated until after it's opened. Supermarkets sell it out of the refrigerated section to make it seem more like cow milk. Soy milk, once opened, should be refrigerated and consumed within five days. Prior to being opened, however, soy milk actually has an unrefrigerated shelf life of at least one year. #soymilk #OMGFacts2020

20.01.2022 Women blink twice as often as men do...and older women blink more frequently than younger women On average, most people blink more than 13,000 times each day. This makes it our most frequent facial action; it is also one of the swiftest movements that our bodies can generate. The blinks primary function is to keep the eyeballs lubricated, but 13,000 blinks is more than necessary to perform this task.... #blinking #OMGFacts2020

18.01.2022 What does the early19th-century term BOBSY-DIE mean? One for our Kiwi friends........... Lots of trouble or fuss. The NZ term evolved as a contraction of an earlier phrase, Bob's-a-dying. The usual dictionary sense of Bob’s-a-dying is of a disturbance or uproar, perhaps with physical violence involved. It requires no stretch of imagination to connect this with sailors on shore leave getting well tanked up, but drunkenness as such doesn’t seem to be the idea behind it.... It’s rare these days and most people will probably have come across it only in seafaring novels. We begin to see it in print in 1828 but by the end of the 19th century it had largely dropped out of public writings but was being recorded in dialect, from Cornwall to Northumberland, sometimes in modified forms such as bobs-a-dial or bobs-a-dilo. It was said to mean boisterous merriment, though it could also mean causing a row or making a huge fuss. The many references to kicking up Bob’s a dying suggests a high-kicking dance. This presumably wasn’t a sea shanty but a tune particularly popular with seafarers. It’s a pity that this doesn’t now seem to be known. It must have been particularly lively to have become linked to uproar ashore, though sailors putting the boot in during an affray would at once have seen the connection. Who or what was bob is likewise not known. One theory has it that it referred to a shilling in old British currency, known as a bob since the latter part of the eighteenth century; bob might have been dying because the sailor’s money was almost spent. On drink, we may reasonably suspect. #bobsydie #bobsadying #forgottenphrases #seafaringterms

18.01.2022 A retired California high school teacher admitted that he taught for 17 years while being illiterate. John Corcoran grew up in New Mexico in the US during the 1940s and 50s. He graduated from high school, went on to university, and became a teacher in the 1960s and 70s all while being illiterate. It wasnt until he was in his late 40s when he saw Barbara Bush talking about adult literacy on TV. It was her special cause. So one Friday afternoon he walked into the local lib...rary and asked to see the director of the literacy programme, sat down with her and told her he couldnt read. 47% OF AUSTRALIANS ARE FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE AND INNUMERATE Adult Learners week 1-8 September 2020.

17.01.2022 The most abused drug in the world is.................coffee Caffeine is defined as a drug because it stimulates the central nervous system, causing increased alertness. Caffeine gives most people a temporary energy boost and elevates mood. Caffeine is in tea, coffee, chocolate, many soft drinks, and pain relievers and other over-the-counter medications. #coffee #omgfacts2020 #caffeinefix

16.01.2022 The longest mustache ever recorded was 14 feet long. It belongs to Ram Singh Chauhan (India). Chauhan started growing his moustache in 1970 - facial hair grows fastest in ones youth, he says. "As you grow old your hormones grow weak, so the speed slows down." And, of course, he has never cut it, "apart from trimming around the lip area". Chauhan spends an hour every day cleaning and combing his moustache. "I massage it and oil it regularly and I wash it every 10 days whic...h takes a long time," he says. "My wife helps me." He uses a coconut-based hair oil. #RamSinghChauhan #longestmustache #OMGFacts2020

16.01.2022 A bit of a gruesome one today.......The last execution by hanging in the USA was January 25, 1996. Until the 1890s, hanging was the primary method of execution used in the United States. Hanging is still used in Delaware and Washington, although both also use lethal injection as an alternative. Bill Bailey was found guilty of a double murder in 1980. After his conviction, the jury found that his crimes "were outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible, or inhuman" and recommende...d the death penalty. Bailey chose hanging over lethal injection. #billbailey #deathbyhanging #OMGFacts2020

15.01.2022 Between 2007 and 2015, the Kishi rail station in Wakayama prefecture, Japan, was home to a stationmaster named Tama. Tama wasn't human. What was she? A calico cat! Tama wore a stationmaster's cap and greeted visitors at the gate.... Tama died on June 22, 2015, of apparent heart failure at the age of 16 at an animal hospital in Wakayama Prefecture. After her passing, thousands of her fans from all over Japan came to pay their respect. She was honored with a Shinto-style funeral at the station and was given the posthumous title, "Honorary Eternal Stationmaster". #tamastationmaster #kishirailstation #wakayamajapan

15.01.2022 When the Big Mac was first sold in 1968, it cost 45c (US). Now......according to the Big Mac index (yes, there is such a thing that compares in US$$).......... Switzerland is the place it costs the most to buy a Big Mac, coming in at $9.74........ More than triple the cost of the cheapest place in the world to eat the double stacked burger, South Africa, where it costs $2.62.... The US is the 4th most expensive place to buy a Big Mac, costing $8.04. In Australia, the average price for a Big Mac comes in at $6.45, ranking at number 25 in the chart of 71 countries. #Bigmac #Mcdonalds #OMGFacts2020

14.01.2022 Beyonce was the first African American woman to headline the Coachella music festival. in 2018 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Coachella was co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999. The event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, pop, indie, hip hop and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music. The festival's origins trace back... to a 1993 concert that Pearl Jam performed at the Empire Polo Club while boycotting venues controlled by Ticketmaster. The show validated the site's viability for hosting large events, leading to the inaugural Coachella Festival being held over the course of two days in October 1999. #coachella #beyonce

13.01.2022 Bamboo can grow at a speed of around three feet per day! The Guinness Book of World Records states that there are certain species of bamboo that can grow up to a rate of 35 inches (1 m) per day. Though it does not state the exact species that grows the quickest, it is more than likely a member of the Bambusa and Phyllostachys genera. Bamboo grows very uniquely and unlike many other plants out there, as it is a form of elongation. ... #bamboo #OMGFacts2020

13.01.2022 Tasmania has the cleanest air in the inhabited world. The northwestern tip of Tasmania on the Cape Grim Peninsula is where youll find the cleanest air in the world. The coastline has been home to the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station since 1976. The station measures the quality of air so we know what Earths "baseline" is as pollution levels rise.... This is because the air is cleaned while it travels for thousands of kilometres over the ocean before arriving at the Tasmanian coast. The nearest landmass to the west is Argentina, to the south Antarctica. #capegrim #cleanair #tasmania #OMGFacts2020

12.01.2022 At least 30,000 Americans are injured by toilets every year! Now thats Infants and toddlers have fallen into toilets and drowned. Injuries to adults include bruised buttocks, tail bones, and dislocated hips from unsuspectingly sitting on the toilet bowl rim because the seat is up or loose. Injuries can also be caused by pinching due to splits in plastic seats or by splinters from wooden seats, or very rarely if the toilet itself collapses under the weight of the user.... Older high tank cast iron cisterns have been known to detach from the wall when the chain is pulled to flush, causing injuries to the user. Furthermore, injuries are frequently sustained by people who stand on toilet seats to reach a height, and slip. There are also instances of people slipping on a wet bathroom floor or from a bath and concussing themselves on the fixture. There are also injuries caused by animals..... Some black widow spiders like to spin their web below the toilet seat. In some cases rats crawl up through toilet sewer pipes and emerge in the toilet bowl, so that toilet users may be at risk of having a rat crawl up their buttocks. (Many rat exterminators do not believe this, as pipes are too large for rats to climb and are also very slippery). An 11ft snake emerged from a squat toilet and bit the man on his penis at his home in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Both victim and python survived. #toiletinjury #OMGFacts2020

11.01.2022 It took 220 years AFTER the pencil was invented for someone to invent the eraser. The original erasers were bread. Until the 1770s, the preferred way of erasing errant graphite marks relied on bread that had been de-crusted, moistened and balled up. In 1770, the natural philosopher and theologian Joseph Priestley described "a substance excellently adapted to the purpose of wiping from paper the mark of black lead pencil." The substance was rubber.... Though Joseph Priestly may have discovered rubber's erasing properties, it's the British engineer Edward Nairne who is generally credited with developing and marketing the first rubber eraser in Europe. Edward claimed to have come upon his invention accidentally: He inadvertently picked up a piece of rubber instead of breadcrumbs, he said, thereby realizing rubber's erasing properties. "Rubber" actually gets its name from erasers. It was Priestley who is generally credited for naming rubber. The erasing "substance" he described in 1770initially referred to as "India gum"required a rubbing action on the part of the user. Thus, yep, a "rubber." The name ended up generally applying to erasers' construction material rather than erasers themselves, especially after Charles Goodyear figured out how to vulcanize the stuff in the mid-1800s. In Britain, erasers themselves are still often called "rubbers." (Which may lead to some confusion, maybe.) Erasers don't just work manually; they work chemically. Pencils work because, when they are put to paper, their graphite mingles with the fiber particles that comprise the paper. And erasers work, in turn, because the polymers that make them up are stickier than the particles of paperso graphite particles end up getting stuck to the eraser instead. They're almost like sticky magnets. #rubbereraser #OMGFacts2020

11.01.2022 Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) is an extremely rare brain disorder that causes sufferers to speak involuntarily in a foreign accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Since its first description in 1907 by French neurologist Pierre Marie involving a patient who presented with an Alsatian accent, there are approximately only 60 cases reported in the literature. #ForeignAccentSyndrome #OMGFacts2020

10.01.2022 Wilt Chamberlain (the Philadelphia Warriors) holds the record for the most points scored in a professional basketball game by a single player. He scored 100 points in a game against the NY Knicks on March 2, 1962. 29 players have scored 60 or more points in a single game, while just 6 players have joined the 70 point club. Only 6 players have scored 60 or more points on more than one occasion.... What an amazing record to hold for such a long time. The next closest is Kobe Bryant on 81 points. #WiltChamberlain

10.01.2022 In some US states, it's illegal to place an ice-cream cone in your back pocket. The law was meant to stop horse theft!

09.01.2022 Before developing video games, Nintendo owned "Love Hotels - private short-stay rooms that were used for sexual encounters........well have none of that nonsense here!! Love hotels, to those unaware of the concept, are rooms with low hourly rates primarily intended for people to get it on. Primarily used by couples and sex workers (and businessmen looking for a cheap stay), these hotels are very discreet and low on human interaction, sometimes having a system of pneumatic tubes to deliver keys and the bills instead of a bellhop or clerk. While Nintendo doesnt run these services anymore, love hotels are still popular in many parts of Asia, including Japan. #nintendo #lovehotel #OMGFacts2020

09.01.2022 Between 1848 and 185, thee population of an Francisco grew from 900 to 35,000 people thanks to the Gold Rush. The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. Whole indigenous societies were attacked and pushed off their lands by the gold-seekers, called "forty-niners". The Gold Rush accelerated the Native American population's decline from disease, starvation and the California Genocide. Outside of California, the first to arrive were from Oregon, the Sandwich Islands (Hawa...ii), and Latin America in late 1848. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the gold rush attracted thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. Miners lived in tents, wood shanties, or deck cabins removed from abandoned ships. Roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. In 1849 a state constitution was written. California had gone from a thinly populated ex-Mexican territory to the State of California in September 1850. #Goldrush #sanfrancisco #OMGFacts2020 #californiagold

09.01.2022 Soup is said to be as old as the history of cooking. The first archaeological evidence of soup comes from 6000 B.C. and its primary ingredient was..................................hippopotamus along with sparrows, vegetables, lentils, and various types of spices. Although archaeologists believe that humans have been making soup for at least 20,000 years. The earliest soup dates back to 20,000 BC in Xianrendong Cave China where the ancient pottery showed signs of scorch marks which suggests that the pot must have been making hot soup. #hipposoup #OMGFacts2020 #soupHistory

05.01.2022 Egypt's Great Pyramid weighs an estimated 6,648,000 tons. The Giza Pyramids, built to endure an eternity, have done just that. Pharaoh Khufu began the first Giza pyramid project, circa 2550 B.C. His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and towers some 481 feet (147 meters) above the plateau. Its estimated 2.3 million stone blocks each weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons ... #greatpyramid #OMGFacts2020

05.01.2022 Is this a dying custom due to COVID-19 ? More germs are transferred by shaking hands than kissing The history of the handshake dates back to the 5th century B.C. in Greece. It was a symbol of peace, showing that neither person was carrying a weapon. Some say that the shaking gesture of the handshake started in Medieval Europe. Knights would shake the hand of others in an attempt to shake loose any hidden weapons. Research has shown that on average, we will shake ha...nds on average 15,000 times in our lifetime. It's much more bacteria than anyone would expect to encounter in their day-to-day life. Studies show a lower risk of contamination with a fist bump than with a handshake, but with good hand hygiene the actual risk of contracting germs from shaking hands is really low. #socialdistancing #shakinghands #washyourhands #OMGFacts2020

04.01.2022 Lycanthropy is a disease in which a man thinks that he is a wolf. From Greek words lykoi, wolf and anthropos, human. To avoid further confusion, a lycan and a werewolf are both folkloric or mythological characters. Werewolves, which have their origin in English folklore, are human beings that have been changed into humanoid wolves whereas lycans are humanoid wolves. #lycanthropy #werewolf #OMGFacts2020

04.01.2022 Sales of shawarma skyrocketed soon after the release of Marvels The Avengers. Shawarma - a dish in Middle Eastern cuisine consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie or spit. Originally made of lamb or mutton, todays shawarma may also be chicken, turkey, beef, or veal. Thin slices are shaved off the cooked surface as it continuously rotates. The technique of grilling a vertical stack of meat s...lices and cutting it off as it cooks first appeared in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) in the form of doner kebab. Both the Greek gyros and shawarma are derived from this. #shawarma #donerkebab #gyro #theavengers #marvel #OMGFacts2020

04.01.2022 Panama hats are actually made in Ecuador! A Panama hat, also known as an Ecuadorian hat or a toquilla straw hat, is a traditional brimmed straw hat of Ecuadorian origin. Traditionally, hats were made from the plaited leaves of the toquilla palm or jipijapa palm. Beginning in the early to mid-1600s, hat weaving evolved as a cottage industry along the Ecuadorian coast as well as in small towns throughout the Andean mountain range. Hat weaving and wearing grew steadily in Ecuado...r through the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1835, Manuel Alfaro arrived in Montecristi to make his name and fortune in Panama hats. He set up a Panama hat business with his main objective being exportation. Cargo ships from Guayaquil and Manta were filled with his merchandise and headed to the Gulf of Panama. His business prospered as more and more Gold Rush prospectors arrived and passed through Panama needing a hat for the sun. #panamahat #Equadorianhat #OMGFacts2020

04.01.2022 The ancient Celts were the first to ferment and distill grains into whiskey. They called it water of life. The word whisky (or whiskey) comes from the Classical Gaelic word uisce (or uisge) meaning "water". Distilled alcohol was known in Latin as aqua vitae ("water of life"). This was translated into Old Irish as uisce beatha, which became uisce beatha in Irish and uisge beatha in Scottish Gaelic. The art of distillation of "aqua vitae", spirit alcohol, spread to Scotland a...nd Ireland no later than the 15th century, primarily for medicinal purposes. The practice of medicinal distillation eventually passed from a monastic setting to the secular via professional medical practitioners of the time, The Guild of Barber Surgeons. The earliest mention of whisky in Ireland comes from the 17th century Annals of Clonmacnoise, which attributes the death of a chieftain in 1405 to "taking a surfeit of aqua vitae". In Scotland, the first evidence of whisky production comes from an entry in the Exchequer Rolls for 1494 where malt is sent "To Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae", enough to make about 500 bottles. #whisky` #wateroflife #aquavitae #uiscebeatha #uisgebeatha #OMGFacts2020
