It’s time to meet Aunt Sally
Know about the term Aunt Sally? It means an easily refutable idea or argument and also a person who is a target for mockery or criticism. It actually is a traditional English game played in gardens. In the game, the players throw sticks at a dolly represented by a ball set up on top of a staff or stick.
In modern days, it also aids the students studying in primary classes to remember the order of mathematical operations— PEMDAS, standing for “please excuse my dear Aunt Sally”.
Take a deep breath
A juvenile human takes approximately 23,000 breaths per day.
You are the real Iron Man
Human body contains as much iron as is sufficient to create a nail from scratch. Literally, becoming an iron man is possible!
A word about the crowning glory
A single human hair can support or sustain a weight of 100 grams, sometimes amounting to the weight of an apple.
Expand the horizons of your lungs
The world record for holding the breath for the longest is 7.5 minutes. The rest of us can manage to hold our breaths for only a minute.
You are looking hot today!
The amount of heat discharged from an adult’s body is enough to boil 30 liters of water.
Answering the nature’call in a colourful way
I haven’t tried it but I came to know that some substances have the capacity to colour one’s urine, the liquid gold. Like eating Rhubarb copiously might make your urine appear orange while blackberries may make it turn red.
Ewww! I am afraid. Does it sound nauseating?
Another is on the way!
Curiosity can’t always kill the cat
A cat is more likely to kick the bucket if it falls from the top of a seven-storey building than when it falls from the top of a twenty-storey building, with the extra time presenting her with the opportunity to gain an understanding of the going-ons and land strategically and properly.
last but not the least
A palindrome is a word read or spelt the same whether from backwards or forewords. In English the longest single-word palindrome is “redivider”.
