According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the best time to spray household insects is 4:00 p.m. Insects are most vulnerable at this time. (It’s just like its better to water your plants in the early mornings or the evenings)
An insect exerts so much energy in one hour of flying that it may lose as much as a third of its total body weight
In rural areas, there are more insects in 1 square mile than there are humans on earth
When the temperature drops, the eyesight reaction time of insects (like the dragonfly and some animals like tortoises) decrease and thats why they can be caught early in the morning or at night by predators like birds whose eyesight reaction times are unaffected by temperature. (from Animal Planet)
Because of an egg’s structure, you won’t be able to break it by squeezing the ends of an egg with your thumb and finger. Thats why people use the design so often for building arches, gutters, drain pipes, and even when God created the skull. Makes sense doesn’t it? Thanx J Kennedy
An egg will float if placed in water in which sugar has been added
Thomas Edison, lightbulb inventor, was afraid of the dark
He also helped create the electric chair
The first words that Thomas A. Edison spoke into the phonograph were, “Mary had a little lamb.”
The first sound recording was recently discovered to be made 17 years before Edison’s phonograph. It was recorded by French inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville who recorded it visually on smoked paper
If the information in DNA were put in the form of a book, these books put on top of each other would reach 70 meters high
A simple list of the bases of the entire DNA is enough to fill 200 New York City phone books
Scientist don’t know what 50% of genes do
8 mysteries were solved using DNA including: Where is Columbus Buried? Was Albert DeSalvo the Boston strangler? Did Sam Sheppard Kill His Wife? Did Thomas Jefferson Father Children with His Slave, Sally Hemings? Did Jesse James Die in 1882, or Did He Fake His Death? Could the Romanovs Have Survived the Russian Revolution? Was Anna Anderson Really Anastasia? Did the Last Dauphin Escape?
Blackholes are not entirely black. They emit a radiation aura due to atoms being split. This causes an eerie glow around its edges
If Earth were to implode into a black hole, it would be the size of a tennis ball
Over billions of years, black holes become white holes and they spit out all of the things they sucked in. The atoms are completely jumbled, so no one knows what will ever come out. Theoratically they’ll also turn into a white hole. If you were unfortunate enough to fall within one, you would never actually hit — because time would stop at some point within the event horizon (space outside) of the black hole. Thanx De Composed
