Strictly speaking, it's an oblate spheroid and not a perfect sphere. It's wider around the equator than at the poles by about 26 miles. This means that relative to the center, Ecuador's Mount Chimborazo is actually higher than Mount Everest.

I know plenty useless things, and one that I can laugh about with history majors is about the jester Triboulet. He is one of the best jesters in my opinion. He slapped King Louis XII on the butt and defended his actions with "I thought you were the queen!" but still got in trouble and sentenced to death. They let him pick his death, and the jester said he wanted to die of old age and kept living XD

According to research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole?

To answer your question, i'm an italian speaker with a b2 level of knowlwdge of the american english language and i've been perfectly able to read that text w/out much efforts (although a couple of words seemed a bit confusing at 1st, but; with some focus, perfectly understable in the end). So for my personal experience i think a b2 lang level is enough to be able to read a similar sentence, but i think that the focus in this case is nore related on how our brain process the words instead of the reader personal knowledge about the lang itself (sorry for eventual grammar/sintaxis mistakes)

It's my understanding that the appendix is still needed in developing countries where contaminated food is cause for relatively common diarrhea which purges the bowels and relies on the appendix to replenish the colon with helpful bacteria. The developed world with more healthy diets - sanitary with a suitable amount of fiber - isn't so often riddled with food poisoning, leading the unused appendix to get swollen and infected (appendicitis, first world problems).

Kristin Ingersoll 5 years ago
Again. Just writing something on Bored Panda doesn't make it a fact. Ridiculous. A “newton” is the international unit of force. A human adult’s maximum biting force ranges from 520-1,178 newtons depending on factors such as age and gender. It requires less than 200 newtons to bite through a raw carrot. This is well within the normal limits of the average person. Biting through a finger requires so much force that attempts often lead to partial-amputation; a bite that doesn't completely sever the finger. There are cases of fingers being bitten entirely off, but such an act requires extraordinary force, far greater than 200 newtons of carrot-cutting power. You'll still have to bite through skin, tendons, and some flesh. Skin, unlike "meat", is very elastic. It's similar to trying to bite a rubber band instead of a carrot. There are a lot of factors that contribute to mechanical failure, applied force is only one :)

If all the people jumped of a chair in one place it would cause a minor earth quake. You would get the greatest effect if all the people in China were brought together in one place, each with their own chair. If we allow them one square metre each, this would require an area of 1200 sq km (470 square miles), corresponding to a square with sides of 35 km (21 miles). The resulting earthquake would certainly register on measuring devices but would not cause any appreciable damage.

Number six is not true, it would take too much time for the copper to do its thing. The transmission of micro organisms doesn't take that long from being put their by one person and being picked up by another. It would take hours, which is more time than there is between proper cleaning the surfaces. The reason stainless steel is used is because it is relatively strong and has a solid impenetrable surface which makes cleaning easier.

Final score:

Jon S. 5 years ago
The logic behind this behaviour is also quite interesting. Carrying the young is more energy intensive and means you can have fewer babies overall (you aren't out inseminating other flat worms while pregnant). So individuals want to take the male role as many times as they can to pass on their genes as much as possible. However, all the penis fencing is exhausting and eventually, no matter how successful, every flatworm will lose a duel and become pregnant.

Brain surgeries are very delicate work. The patient needs to remain perfectly still, and people start to get fidgety when they're nervous so sedation is required. The patient is only awake/woken up when the surgery could affect critical function like use of your limbs or speech in which case the anesthesiologist controls the level of sedation to wake 'em up. This type of surgery is usually called awake surgery.

To number 3, as far as I understand it, women can on average name more shades, rather than physically see a wider range of colours.

Until recent breeding methods vastly improved cows milk production, they would stop producing milk if you took their claves away. But if you left their claves with them, the claves would drink all the milk. There are several methods to trick the cow into thinking they still have a calf, but the oldest method known to get around this natural mechanism was to blow air into the cow's anus or vagina. Today, we know this irritates their cervix and causes them to produce oxytocin (the hormone responsible for both cervical dilation and milk production), but 5,500 years ago, how the hell did people discover this?

Some people believe if someone is "stupid" enough to fall for a stupid story, they deserve what they get". The fallacy of that belief is that they deserve what they get. NO ONE wants to get all they deserve, for all have regretted events in their past.

We gravely misrepresent the timeline of the Earth in our heads and school books. Hold out your arm and look at it. If the Earth forms at your shoulder, then the first single celled life begins at the middle of your forearm. The first multicellular life doesn't form until the base of your fingers. Dinosaurs? Well, just the top joint of your index finger. Humans are less than a hair width of the very top of your longest finger's nail.

Take a paper. Any colour. If you look at the paper for a while against a white wall and then quickly pull it away, you can see the negative colour of that colour for a split second. For example if you hold up a red paper and yank it away, you will see a green square instead of it on the wall.

Here’s another one: throw a mouse, dog, and elephant off a skyscraper onto a pile of mattresses. The mouse will land, be mad, and run off. The dog will break all of its bones and die (sad bow-wow noises). What does the elephant do? Explode. Yeah. The elephant will explode when it hits the ground.

Sorry for the second post, this was just really cool. A test collected different types of owls and used an extremely sensitive microphone to hear the sound an owl made while flapping their wings. The barn owl's didn't make any noise.

The U.S. Air Force controls the satellites for our personal device gps systems. They have to correct the time on the satellites on a regular basis because time is slower where the satellites are compared to the Earth's surface.
