Things You Didn't Know Before!
Yesterday, one of colleague was absent from school and again I have to engage his library period. I visited library after 2 months. They brought many new books to the library. Although all books were worth reading but I got a book called "Things You Didn't Know Before". The book was quite interesting. There were hundreds of facts we really didn't know before. Some of them I am gonna write here. **Spy Cats**
In 1960's American intelligence department CIA used cats as a spy. They managed to put microphone inside ear and transmitter with power supply in the body of cat. Then they sent those cats to the Russian embassy for spying them. The called it "Operation Acoustic Kitty". **Double Headed Snakes**
Image source: UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2006/01/03/Two-headed-albino-snake-up-for-sale/20551136306529/ I think most of people know about the fact that double headed snakes exist. But the real fact is that life of a double headed snake is so much confused. They face so much difficult to decide where to go. Even both the heads fight for food too. Each head wants to eat first. **Ants-Human Ratio**
There are 1.6million ants for each human on the earth. The ant-human ratio is 1.6million: 1 person. If we weight all the humans on earth and all the ants on earth then Ants will weigh more than humans collectively. Another fact about ants is that if you throw an ant from 100th floor, it hardly gets damage on landing on earth. The ant will be safe and sound due to its small weight and strong skeleton. **Food Served In Airplane**
Image source: Insider.com https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insider.com/food-youll-be-served-on-15-airlines-2016-9%3famp The people who travelled through airplane will agree to the fact that the food served in airplane is not as good as we eat in normal days. The fact is the problem is not in the food they serve but its our taste buds who are responsible for this. Actually at a certain hight, due to less humidity and more pressure our taste buds perform 20%-50% less. That's why we feel the food tasteless while flying in the airplane. **Piplantri City**
Image source: *lifegate.com* https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lifegate.com/piplantri-trees-women%3famp There is a city called Piplantri in Rajhistan (India) where people celebrate a girl's birth by planting 111 trees in their city.
They have planted a total of almost 3.5 lac trees till date. It looks like a city in jungle. **Fresh Air** (Piece Of Art)
In 2011, a woman called Aimee Davison bought an empty piece of art for $10,000. That empty piece of art was called "Fresh Air". **7UP**
The cold drink was named 7UP because it has 7 main ingredients and as the bubbles go up in the cold drink. **Google**
Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the founders of Google search engine. Before google there was another search engine called "Excite.Com". In the beginning, Larry Page and Sergey Brin went to the owner of Excite.com and offered him to buy google in just a million dollars. The owner of Excite.com refused the offer. And see how big the Google is now having worth more than a trillion dollars. **Nutella**
After the second world war chocolate was becoming rare in the world. Then a chef called Michele Ferrero who used to make pastries started using Hazelnuts into his chocolate pastries. And that's how Our Favorite Nutella was made first. **Rainbow Valley** There is an area on Mount Everest called "Rainbow Valley". Quite beautiful right...? But no, this is not. They named the area "Rainbow Valley" because there are hundreds of coloured jackets and climbing gears of dead climbers.
Picture source: iFunny.com https://ifunny.co/picture/rainbow-valley-is-the-nickname-for-a-crevasse-on-mount-qk5QEYZT3 Mount Everest is so dangerous, more than 200 corpses are still there. Each corpse was a motivated climber before. That's it for today beautiful people π Hope you liked it. Tell me which one is the most surprising for you. π

Thanks for this, sir. This has been so meaning for I learned a lot about the things I did not know especially what happens to our taste buds when on an airplane. I haven't ridden airplane before so I don't know that.
Thanks for reading β€οΈ
The piece of art "Fresh Air" caught my attention. I's so amazing. Thank you for sharing thisπ
And I was amazed why that woman paid $10,000 just for an empty frame π€£π€£π
Haha. Lol. Maybe she badly needed "Fresh Air" that day.
Maybe π
New learnings for me. I like those about in India. I hope it will be adapted by other countries. Our earth needs more trees.
True.. earth needs oxygen β€οΈ
Hmmm the nutella trivia is new to me!
Same for me π
I learned new things today. But I can't get the part where a person is willing to pay thousand of dollars for a litteraly EMPTY painting. WTF. /LOL! Anyway, their money, their choice. π
Some wealthy mad π
Yeah! Hahaha!
Now I gained additional knowledge again hehez thanks for sharing this. The most surprising is about the empty painting. Really? The amount is huge and there are no any painting on it but the woman still purchased it. Also in the airplane thats why we didn't have so much appetite while in the plane.
The empty frame is same like people doing these days with NFT's π
I wish we can all have a place like Piplantri. I wonder why that kind of idea cannot be adopted by every place.
Its such an amazing idea everyone should adopt to make earth healthy again.
Nice! I never really learned these things before not until I read this. Thanks! I always drink 7 up but don't know why is it called 7 up so now I know.
I am glad to hear about Piplantri π
Wondering what do the woman get from Fresh Air, the empty piece of art. Hehe
I am surprised that people do same even in this era. Yesterday I was reading an article about a person who bought an NFT at the price of $69000. That NFT was nothing but a digit 69 written on a Paper.
Lol! That's funny. There are a lot of nonsense arts being bought as NFT with huge prices.
Awesome information we have there awesome. I definitely learned new things today through this article of yours π€ However, the artist behind that empty painting might be so witty π€£
Witty and clever π
I got new trivia from this article π
That's great π π
These are things I didn't know of heard about. I haven't seen a double headed snakes before but I have seen seven headed on but I saw it while watching documentaries then and I was surprised. But why is the mirror named "fresh air"? Does it gives fresh air naturally?
That's not a mirror but a frame having no painting in it. Its an empty frame having air in it π€£
πππ How could air possibly be coming out from a frame then? π€·
Air in atmosphere π the oxygen I mean..
Wow! Those were such amazing facts! The double headed snake is so creepy to look at. oops. :D And, it is funny how our taste buds goes on a plane ride. Wow! I didn't know that until now. :D :)
I never thought of about two headed snake. But I find it funny how they fight who to eat first. And the ariplane, I haven't ride one. Hopefully I can so that I can differentiate the food we eat normally and the food we eat above.
